    This place is great, the location perfect and the service magnificent. What could be better is if the upper level of our room could be higher up, I occasionally bumped my head on the roof. But location is close to a supermarket and a park, so it’s definitely worth it booking it here. Also gotta add the mention cleanliness, it is gorgeous.

    I love this place, it’s “home from home” and I stay here each time I come to Amsterdam! Great trendy location, easy to get to with public transport and the apartments are furnished to a high standard, very well equipped everything is thought of and super clean. Staff attentive. Highly recommend.

    This is a great base when staying in Amsterdam. We had a two floor studio for me and my friend but you could easily have stayed with 3 or 4 friends as there was a double, a single and the double sofa bed. Kitchenette is fully equipped. Location perfect. Short tram or bus into the centre but plenty of shops and restaurants around there too. Staff were extremely helpful. Would highly recommend for the space and quality of accommodation.

    We took the family room, for 3 people it was fine. Room is good, very equipped with kitchen tools, so you can cook, drink coffee and heat food using the microwave. Very close to supermarket, public transportation and the city center. No housekeeping during the stay, but it's fine.

    Absolutely everything has been thought of in these apartments! There was nothing missing. The beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and the kids loved the big TV. The information provided was excellent and the books about the area and the Dutch cookbook left in the apartment were nice touches. The staff members were very friendly and really helpful. The location was very convenient, less than ten minutes by bus to the central station (Amsterdam centre) with a service that runs every ten minutes.

    I had already stayed at YAYS apartments in Paris so decided to try it in Amsterdam. And I am so glad I did!! YAYS Maritime is so amazing. First location is super convenient, bus from central station stops right in front. And tram 7 stop is only a 3-4 min walk. There's also supermarkets really close. The apartment itself was great: spacious, super clean and very comfortable. Those mattresses and pillows are out of this world and will make your stay unforgettable. Couldn't recommend more because the room has everything you need for a comfortable stay. All bathroom amenities, coffee machine, dishwasher, etc. I would definitely stay here again.

    The staff and assistance in this hotel were amazing. The room was great but we had an issue with the staircase which I will go into later. The facilities were good, we generally only ate breakfast there but it had enough to make meals if you wanted to. Location was good, a little distance to the centre but walkable and plenty of public transport options.

    YAYS Maritime. Great location - could walk into Amsterdam Central. Bus just outside apartment for convenience. Staff were helpful and friendly. Rooms were comfortable, spacious and worked for a family of 4 with 2 teenage kids.

    Room was clean, stocked with all the bits you need. Staff were brilliant, extremely friendly and helpful. Great location for the price, right next to a bus stop too.

    Great place. Very clean and well fitted apartments. 24 hour reception with really helpful staff. Easy to get the bus into the city centre. Would definitely stay here again.

    Very nice hotel. Great for kids with the raised level kids bed. Good location, can walk most places in 30 minutes but also tram and bus stops near.

  • 5/5 Alister S. 1 year ago on Google
    We enjoyed our short stay of 4 nights. The kids liked the loft and the apartment was comfortable for the 4 of us. The location is convenient with bus and trams near by or you can walk to central station in 25mins. A number of close by supermarkets allow for easy eating in options. Mario from the service desk was extremely hospitable and friendly. Would stay again.

    We were a family of 5 - 4 adults 1 child. Apartment was comfortable, practical, well equipped, clean. Excellent location, 5 short bus stops from Central station, bus stop right in front of the hotel. Quiet environment. Staff members kind and helpful. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Anna B. 11 months ago on Google
    We booked this for a for a family of 4 including 2 small children. We really enjoyed at the location as it was in a quieter neighborhood versus being in central Amsterdam. It was very easy to bike to our Sightseeing locations each day and the staff were very helpful in regard to helping us secure a bike rental. The room was spacious and nicely equipped with a kitchen that proved very useful during our stay. I would have preferred that the laundry was in the room versus a separate service. There were some slight issues with the cleanliness of our room as well. Overall I would more than likely return.

    Rooms are a good size. Clean and plenty of facilities. Staff are lovely and friendly. Special mention goes to Tyler who was very helpful and took time to have a chat with us. Around a 25 minute walk into the city but there are bus/tram stops close by. Also plenty of eateries and bars nearby.

    Our room had a blocked shower drain, so we couldn't use it after a long journey until the following morning. Keys should be given only when a room is ready, not if it has faults or shower problems!

    I would have given a rating of 6/5 stars if not for a few shortcomings: 1. No toaster was provided in the apartment, making it challenging to prepare our own breakfast before heading out to explore the city. 2. The internet connection was excessively slow, hindering our ability to enjoy social media reels or videos without constant buffering. 3. The TV lacked popular streaming apps like Netflix, Prime, and Apple TV. This was surprising and disappointing, especially for tourists who may struggle to understand local channels dubbed in Dutch. Despite these issues, the rooms, beds, and toilets were exceptionally comfortable, surpassing our experiences in other European cities at a similar price point. Additionally, the staff were very warm and friendly. Moreover, the complimentary biscuits, fruits, and 24-hour coffee-making pantry were thoughtful touches that added to our overall comfort. It's worth noting that I am a family of six—two adults and four children. One more drawback was the limited public transportation options, with only bus 22 servicing the street directly. Other services, like Tram 7 or Tram 14, required additional walking, with Tram 14 being the farthest.

    We stayed over the weekend in late June, and overall it was a pretty great experience. It’s not right in the center of town so it’s significantly quieter and less crowded, which we enjoyed especially with a 2 year old. The rooms have skylights with blinds on the outside so it gets nice and dark. The AC works great and is really quiet, unlike a lot of hotels. The only downside is that there are not a ton of restaurants within walking distance, so having a bike is a good idea.

  • 2/5 James S. 5 months ago on Google
    My stay at YAYS was the perfect location towards the centre about 20min walk to the city and 10min bike ride , supermarket 5min walk. Rooms were nice and tidy although we experienced no clean ups in the room the 4 nights we stayed , we had to ask for new towels every second day as they did not give us new towels everyday. The bathroom had a bad odour and bathroom tap was blocked as water would just clog up .Seemed like they had no one to fix it so we just had to deal with it ourselves. Unfortunately they were the let downs other then stay it was a good location to stay.

    Gorgeous accommodation with everything you need. Great amenities and beautiful interior. Comfortable beds. All the staff are so welcoming, and gave us suggestions of what was in the local area. Both before and after check in/out you can store your luggage securely. Really close to tram lines and bus stops, easily get into the centre

  • 4/5 Angela G. 4 months ago on Google
    Located on a bus and tram line, great for getting around the city. The room was great and the ability to cook or at least have some meals in the room was a definite bonus. Staff was great, very friendly and helpful.

  • 5/5 David V. 4 months ago on Google
    YAYS Amsterdam Maritime was the perfect choice for our family stay. I was worried it was too far from the action, but it is so well serviced by tram and bus. Plus the walk is not that far. And, even more importantly, it is located in a very cool part of Amsterdam, a short walk to excellent restaurants, bars and a brewery.

  • 4/5 Ximena l. 1 year ago on Google
    Our experience was very good . If I have to suggest to YAYS an improvement, it would be the TV cable channel’s available for us . They are very limited. The cleaning service was not very good but acceptable. The front desk people are amazing…. Andreea did amaizing ! If you have any concern ask HER! She always will help you!

  • 5/5 Hamish M. 2 years ago on Google
    Really enjoyed my stay! Was a great location with easy bus and tram routes into central and the quality of the apartments was excellent

  • 4/5 Mark S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good location, cool clean rooms and the staff were great. The only downside is the noise outside the apartment was particularly loud at times throughout the night. We were staying on the ground floor so suggest explicitly asking for an upper floor room if that would upset your stay.

  • 4/5 Melanie M. 4 years ago on Google
    I stayed there for few nights and it was quite nice. I enjoyed the room with the kitchen, the dining table, the large bed and the large window that shows a great view. We were really comfortable inside but there was so things that wasn't really nice. The first thing is the bathroom. I think it's the worst thing about the rooms. It was too small and the shower was very not practical at all! It's an Italian style shower so the water goes everywhere in the room... Also the toilet were not comfortable and weird. The second thing was that we can hear everything in other rooms around us. It was okay because people we were really tired but if you're sensitive do not sleep there. And finally the elevator was a nightmare! We needed to use it with our luggages and at the end of the day as we were tired but it was really because we were not motivated for the stairs. The elevator was too slow and I think they can improved that.

    Easy checkin and great staff. Appartment was good but sofa bed was a bit squeaky. Location is a bit far to walk from center so public transport or cycle required.

  • 3/5 Shannon A. 4 years ago on Google
    An ok room but not amazing. The pillows were incredibly uncomfortable and we couldn't get them right a single night. The mattress kept slipping off the bed which also made it uncomfortable to sleep on. The bathroom, somehow, was always smelly and after showering you have to mop up the whole bathroom because there's nothing seperating the shower from the rest of the bathroom. The kitchen facilities were good. It was very noisy at night though, if you are one of those people that is easily awaken by noise, do not go here. Good location, close to a bus and tram stop so easy to get in and out of the center. Two supermarkets just around the corner too and some nice places to eat. The lift is the slowest lift I have ever seen in this world which I find hard to understand when everything else seemed quite modern. The staff were friendly and very welcoming.

  • 4/5 M H. 1 year ago on Google
    We enjoyed our stay at YAYS Maritime. The good: The apartment was a GREAT option for a family - the kids loved it. The staff were always available and smiling. The location was excellent. We loved having a massive fridge, a nespresso machine and a supermarket and good cafes minutes away. The Bad: However comfortable the apartment was, it was NOISY. Street traffic, late night parties in neighbouring venues, and movement from apartments above disrupted our sleep. When the sofa bed was out, we couldn't access any of the storage. More hooks/shelves on the 'photo' wall would have benefited us. We felt crammed and cluttered because there was no where to put our things.

  • 3/5 Gilles M. 1 year ago on Google
    I came to Amsterdam with my friends for a 4 day vacation. The apartment was very nice, very clean. I managed the reservation by paying with my card and I was not happy because they asked me to pay twice for the entire structure (I would have paid double).

  • 4/5 Colin F. 1 year ago on Google
    A great location for the family, as it is quieter and just a short walk from the centre and train station. The Yays team were extremely helpful, and we immediately felt at home. Modern and functional, and small local supermarkets and F&B are close by.

  • 4/5 Patrick N. 1 year ago on Google
    Close to centre, smaller as pictures suggest, bedrooms are separated, but cant be closed fully, you hear everything from others. For a short stay ok.

  • 3/5 Kira 1 year ago on Google
    This isn’t a bad place to stay, but the price is absolutely not worth it. I paid almost €250/night for what felt like a hostel. The room itself is actually a studio apartment so it has a full kitchen, but everything is quite basic and somewhat dated. For example, the carpet is industrial and fraying, and the vinyl flooring was bubbled and coming up everywhere so it was SUPER loud when I walked around. It’s also on a busy street, so you have to be ok with loud street noise.

  • 5/5 Antoine H. 1 year ago on Google
    I really recommend the YAYS apart hotels in Amsterdam. Lovely places to stay at and extremely professional. I stayed overall 6 weeks between Salthouse canal, Vondelpark and Maritime. All of these answered my needs in different ways. Go ahead, you won't be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Raj M. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place to stay if you travelling with your kids. We had very good experience. There are few grocery stores nearby if you want to cook (we didn't cook, but there is a kitchnette there). Staff is super friendly and informative. Few bus stops away from Amsterdam Centraal or you can walk there. We sure will stay at Yays again.

  • 5/5 Sohil C. 1 year ago on Google
    Me and my family had a fabulous time at YAYS, the place was clean and inviting. All the staff were very welcoming and made my stay great. I will surely go back again.

  • 1/5 Ryan W. 1 year ago on Google
    Booked to stay here two years ago and because of the pandemic, we weren’t allowed to cancel. The irony is that we couldn’t cancel it but they were able to increase their charge and this meant the week we’d originally paid for was only worth 4 nights.. shocking really. No fresh towels or any clean of the apartment in the 4 days we were there AND even the toilet brush didn’t have a home. Was just on the floor. Disgusting and just rubbish overall. DO NOT STAY.

  • 5/5 Kelly-Jean E. 1 year ago on Google
    A great place to stay while visiting Amsterdam...amenities include elevator, kitchen, washer/dryer on-site, location. All of this made traveling with an infant possible. Thank you, YAYS.

  • 5/5 Alexis H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place with a full kitchen and a really cozy space. We lived at yays maritime for a full week and it felt like home ! Really close to the tram and bus, not too far from the city and close to good restaurants. The people working at yays were also very nice and gave us really good infos on the city and public transportation. Will definitely go there again if we revisit Amsterdam !
