Zoku Amsterdam

Everything about this Hotel was Fantastic. The rooms were amazing and the kitchen came in handy. Conveniently located just a 10 minute walk to all the restaurants and shops. Friday nights they have an open mic to musicians that want to come and play .

I love staying here the rooms are cosy clean and quiet I always sleep so well ! Easy to walk to museums and shops.

Apartment small but much better than a hotel room. Everything available, maybe some additional instructions on 'how to' in the room will help.

Excellent stay for nomadic workers. Perfect internet in every inch of the space, laundromat, kitchenette with everything you could need and comfy bed. My husband loved the compact/cozy pull out for the bed. Highly recommend.

Decent stay

Convenient location near attractions and train lines, yet a bit out of the way from all the touristy areas. The patios on the roof are a nice place to relax, drink a glass of wine, and enjoy the views. The restaurant is also tasty. The XL loft was a nice place to settle every evening of a week long stay.

One of the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Feels like a home away from home, perfect for business and enjoying Amsterdam.

Overall, we had a great stay at Zoku! It felt cozy and we loved the creative use of the space (with the loft bedroom).

I love this property because it has everything for an extended stay. I look for kitchenette, laundry, lockers, and location as well as affordability.

Pleasant experiences

Spacious, neat and staffs are very friendly. Ideal for family or business trip

Booked a one night stay for 1 guest on the day of and received a room that appears to be a janitors closet converted into a children’s room with a bunk bed. The images I saw were of no relation to the room I received and there was no description provided either. I received a key for room 101 and it was a challenge finding it as it didn’t exist on the first floor. You literally have to walk down the fire escape stairs because it exists on the landing area between the ground floor and the first floor. I checked in after 10:30pm and decided it was too late to dispute it.

10/10 recommend. I stayed here for 3 days and although I was initially a little disappointed that Zoku isn’t located in a busier neighborhood, the proximity to transportation, the quiet rooms, comfortable beds, friendly helpful staff, delicious food, and incredibly convenient rooftop work space more than made up for any initial hesitation. I will be looking to stay here again if I ever make my way back to Amsterdam again and highly recommend for anyone needing to mix and bit of work, travel, and leisure.

If your idea of a nice place to stay is a hotel decorated and furnished by IKEA - yes, IKEA - this might be your place. And if it is, be prepared to pull a ladder out of wall to climb across a deck to get into your bed, which sits above about a 120 square foot mini space. For this, the reservations line quoted me 229 euros a night but Expedia sold it to me for 179 euros. Added thrills: a salad I ordered was billed to me at checkout at 32.50 euros, and when you eat there you have to bus your own dishes. Folks, I live in France, I travel extensively in Europe and would caution you that this is not the place you want for a happy stay in Amsterdam.

Too expensive for what it is. Staff is unhelpful.

I really enjoyed my stay at Zoku, the thought process and space management is quite impressive. Believe me when I say they thought everything through. It’s a unique one and I will definitely be back whenever I am in Amsterdam. My only downside is that you had to pull your luggage and go all the way to the 6th floor to check in and out, that was quite an inconvenience. Apart from that, loved it.

Our stay was quite nice except for the plumbing repairs which left us with no water for a day. They tried their best to accommodate us but still an inconvenience nonetheless.

A delightful and very professional spot convenient to all that Amsterdam has to offer. Highly recommended.

Unique and Chill

The room was not big enough to warrant a high price. The bed was hard to get out of for the one sleeping by the wall (I have not rated down for this aspect, just saying). The cover for the duvet did not have domes so it hung loose after one sleep - the bed was comfortable. The couch was uncomfortable. No dish cloth to wipe the table or bench - just 2 tea towels. The shower door squeaked badly every time it was closed. The water came out on to the floor after each shower. The shower had good pressure. Plenty of places to store luggage in the room and the table was a bonus. The complimentary drink and outdoor seating is nice to be able to enjoy this drink. The staff we dealt with were friendly and helpful. The photos make the room look bigger than it is - we booked the Grand Loft. I wasn't impressed that they didn't take my money when I booked the room - that was stated on the hotels.com confirmation email - that they were supposed to take my money - not hotels.com. We could have avoided the many discussions which wasted my time on 2 days. Hotels.com told me that they should have taken the money when I booked. Because they didn't do that, I argued that it had been paid (as per my email stating this), wasted a few hours over this. Plus they accidentally took money from the wrong Visa - even though they refunded it straight away, I lost money on the exchange rate for that incorrect transaction. it was an experience I don't wish to repeat.
