This was to be my first stay at the Black Tulip and, having stayed at Gay owned venues in other Countries was not entirely confident it was going to be such a good experience! I have had my fingers burned previously but always try and support 'gay commerce. My room was spacious (double), clean, well equipped in all respects. TV/radio/phone/safe/beverages/minibar,... more

My husdand and I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights in July 2008. This hotel was all that we were expecting. The reviews were very good for that. We stayed in one of the rooms on the first floor. Yes there was a ladder in our room but it really did not bother us a bit. It's the style... more

We arrived at the hotel quite early since our flight was an early one, it's not far from the train station, situated within the red light district and was really easy to find. At check in, even though we were not expected until later in the day, Onno (one of the owners) made us feel very welcome, fresh coffee in... more

The Black Tulip has its own website with detailed photographs of each room, so you know what your supposed to be getting before you book. Its very central and a good location to get around the city. Being a gay traveller going to Amsterdam for the first time, I was looking forward to this trip. I think the whole plannet... more

Management response from
Onno Tang, manager, co-owner

we always hear : 'room 12 is such a beautiful, charming room'. (see for ex. review on Feb. 18, 2008) But this diappointed guest is also right in his room-observations : some things can be improved... ***room 12 is our last room with a regular television, as in all other rooms it will very soon be replaced by a (big)...

Stayed here with my partner two nights in December of 2006, and thoroughly enjoyed it. We stayed in one of the larger "themed" rooms, and loved everything about it. The room itself was very large, clean, had all of the comforts you could ask for. The bathroom was also very large, and had an amazing shower. The Bed was also... more

We could not have been more pleased with our ground level room which was spotless, comfortable and well-appointed. My wife and I had just finished an eleven day cruise along Western Europe and needed accomodations for a short stay in Amsterdam. I found the Black Tulip here on Trip Advisor and chose it because of reviews written by others, because... more

We found this hotel after looking on the top ten hotels for Amsterdam on Trip Advisor and are we glad that we did! If you're stupidly homophobic or a complete prude then this isn't the place for you... for us? It was great fun! and if we go back to Amsterdam we'll certainly be booking again. I booked it for... more

We had such a pleasant stay at the black tulip. I am a 23 year old female and I stayed in a classic room with my boyfriend, also 23. The classic room was squeaky clean and super comfortable. The hotel and our room were absolutely beautiful. Onno and Jurrich were so nice and helpful. The breakfast was really delicious. This... more

After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor (and despite a couple of negative ones) we decided to book this hotel. We are so pleased that we did. We stayed there for three nights from the 10th April along with two of our friends. Bi the way we are both male/female couples who can be very sociable. The hotel is situated... more

My second stay in this hotel with a group of friends, and hopefully we will all be back again. The co-owners Onno & Jurrich are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. It is a very quiet hotel in a quiet location. Whatever your sexual orientation I would recommend this hotel. The rooms are clean & the beds most... more
