Hearty breakfast and spacious rooms in a charming hotel a few steps from the red light district, on the Nieuwmarkt square.

It's a charming little hotel with just 6 rooms, located a stone's throw from the red light district, right next to the Nieuwmarkt square. Entrance is speakeasy-style, via the elegant cocktail bar of the same name. The building is a beautiful, historic 17th-century structure that has been completely renovated. The 6 rooms are all unique, tastefully decorated and quite spacious for the area. The breakfast is copious and excellent. We recommend it!

When on a Business trip to Amsterdam I stayed just one night at Rosalia's Menagerie Inn Upstairs and I loved it... It has just 6 individually styled boutique rooms and mine (a King bed double) was comfortable and provided everything I needed for my stay. The owner Rachel Bonnewell was lovely and treated me with warmth and kindness from check in to check out, she was a perfect host. I loved the quirky decor and the personally prepared breakfast was delicious and a great start to my day walking Amsterdam. The hotel location was perfect also in Central Amsterdam, I literally walked everywhere during my 2 days in the City. My room was €150 per night with breakfast. The Inn is 'upstairs' and the stairs are typical of old Dutch houses in as much as climbing them is not for anyone who has ill health or mobility issues... Note there is no lift and the stairs are narrow, steep and twisty. I will certainly stay again and hope to do so in the Summer of 2024.

Updating as I returned here again in 2023. I enjoyed it just as much as the first time, great central location and the owners were absolutely fantastic to deal with as they were doing some small renovations on the bar and even arranged for us to eat breakfast at the cafe next door so we weren't interrupted. Definitely an experience with the Amsterdam stairs but even after some (many ????) drinks I was able to manage them no problem. We were in a canal facing room over a weekend and while there was some noise it was easily drowned out by the white noise machine provided in the room. Will continue to return when we visit Amsterdam

As someone else mentioned, this hotel is not awful, but I will never stay here again. They have a good idea with the bed and breakfast thing. The execution needs to be better.
- The breakfast is great. Really friendly and warm kitchen staff.
- Check in is clunky. The person at the bar seemed surprised to see me.
- The room I stayed in was old, but not in the charming way it was intended. Just kind of creepy and weird. Again, they TRY by putting in a coffee machine, having free snacks and robes. All great, but the bed was absolutely awful. It was the weird single beds that they just push together. Which I get is fairly normal in Europe. The mattress was SO hard, I could have slept on the floor and felt no difference. It just feels like it’s trying to be a boutique hotel. The downstairs is obviously much newer than the rooms. If the two matched it would be great.
- Stairs are vertical. Might as well just use a ladder. The staff is very helpful with bags, but I can’t imagine if someone is even a little drunk.
- room will be VERY loud all night if you are canal facing. They put a sound machine, but I used ear plugs
- walking through the bar seems fun, but it’s not. It’s a popular cute bar, but I missed traditional hotel lobbies.
- I interacted with the female owner once, she was very nice. I hope she gets this place up to its full potential by upgrading the rooms.

Amazing location, and very considerate, attentive staff, particularly in the morning with the very nice breakfast.

Some little details were very thoughtful - like a white noise in the room to cancel out street sounds. Some little details were missed - very cold in the room as radiators were turned off when we arrived, neither of the bedside lamps worked, shower gel and shampoo is great but there is no conditioner.

Even with those little things missed, we still had a lovely stay, I would happily recommend it, and would definitely stay there again.
