Hotel Bed and Breakfast Zuid Oost Heesterveld / BnB ZOH (Amsterdam, Netherlands)

The units are clean upon arrival and the stay is a comfortable one. The decor is stylish, with a gear towards those with an artistic appreciation and a modern artsy bent. Some rooms even have a balcony.

The location isn't near the city centre, but still provides easy access for guests to local metro stations. They're just a short walk away and can take you all over the city. Also nearby is a market where you can get the essentials you need.

The shared areas have a lot of offer. The sense of community here is interesting and unique and those who enjoy creating things will like the ease and atmosphere of the working spaces.

The shared kitchenette doesn't really provide much for guests. You won't be able to cook and eat there. It's mostly just for snacking and having your morning drink. The term "bed and breakfast" might be misleading as the hotel doesn't provide free breakfast. Instead, you'll be eating at the cafe downstairs for an additional charge.

The hotel is in a busy and vibrant community. Unfortunately, that vibrance lasts until late an night and you can hear all those sounds in the room. The neighbourhood noise is excessive, but it's also possible to hear noises within the building as well.

The shared bathroom situation can be awkward. Those spaces are actually open to several units, so you might be sharing the facilities with quite a few guests. Be prepared to wait and be comfortable with the bathroom habits of your neighbours.
