Amsterdam Guest House - The Windketel House
|
 |
On the very edge of the historic center of Amsterdam is located this most intimate luxury guest house. The 'Windketel' is a free standing octagonal mini-tower with three rooms (kitchen, bedroom & bath and living room).
This unique architectural monument has a beautiful, state-of-art interior, offering up to two guests five star comfort. The building itself is a small marvel dated from 1897 and its location makes it an unforgettable experience for guests: it stands at the heart of a brick paved square, completely sheltered from traffic in an automobile free zone in Amsterdam's greenest neighborhood, the 'Eco-wijk'.
The 'Windketel' House is available for short renting (minimum of 3 nights) or even on a month basis. Click here to see rates! |

The Accommodation

The entrance leads to a luxurious kitchen with floor heating,
perfectly equipped for all kinds of cooking, including a microwave,
four gas burners, coffee machine and dishwasher. There you
will find also a wash machine combined with a drier.
One floor higher is the living room, with couch, writing desk,
TV, CD, DVD player with sound surround system, Internet
connection and high windows on four sides.

|
|
On the top floor is set a romantic bedroom with a big double
bed, an extra TV and the bathroom, with bath, shower and
a second toilet. The beautiful internal structure of the
roof is visible and there are two roof windows giving enough
light the whole day.
The Windketel is an initiative of local residents.
There are no other guest rooms in the area, so you'll share
life on the square with the local residents, way off the
beaten tourist track. You'll be amazed by your surroundings,
which are a far cry from the hustle and bustle of most other
centrally located hotels.

Location
|
The Windketel is part of a unique complex designed to be
a 'village within the city' on the grounds of the prestigious
former Public Water Company built in 1900. Gardens, winding
footpaths and footbridges connect new dwellings and the
impressive industrial monuments of the old water works.
This quiet enclave is only twenty minutes by foot from Central
Station. In addition, it is the end of tram line 10, which
takes you straight to Amsterdam's four biggest museums and
most important shopping and entertainment districts. And
the shops, restaurants, open-air markets, cafes and parks
of the famous 'Jordaan' district (built in 1612) are only
10 minutes away by foot. On the neighbourhood are diverse
choices of shops, cafés, restaurants, the recent
renovated cultural park of the former 'Westergasfabriek'
and the famous Café Restaurant Amsterdam is only
30m distance from your house.
For those who come with a car, there is the parking garage
'Westersluis' very close by.

Check-in and check-out info
|
- Check-in time is from 4 pm to 10 pm;
- Check-out time is max 12 am;
Notes:
- If you arrive much earlier than 4 pm there are two possibilities:
- If the night before your arrival is still available, we can block it on the calendar for you at the moment of your booking; we charge in this case an early arrival fee of 50% of a normal one night rate. You have in this case guarantee of an early check-in (from 6 am);
- If you don’t want to pay the early arrival fee, you can take the risk: there is still the possibility of an early check-in if the accommodation was not booked the night before. In this case you will need to contact your host two days before your arrival (contact numbers will be sent on your booking confirmation) to check if it’s available.
