Dutch Masters Apartments, Amsterdam

Lets Go Dutch

Advantages: quick, friendly service, huge panckes, good vlue
Disadvantages: Not much on main menu if you don't like pancakes

Pancakes should be simple to make since they are only flour, egg and milk right? Well I do like pancakes and not just on Shrove Tuesday but very rarely make them myself. When I fancy a fix I will go to a pancake house or creperie. I have fond memories of the Pancake Place in Scotland and the now sadly gone Dutch Pancake House in Manchester. Now I am in London I do not have to go without my pancake fix as I have discovered My Old Dutch Pancake House. My Old Dutch Pancake House is a mini chain of Pancake Houses with branches in Holborn Central London, Ealing and Chelsea with a new one in Kensington recently opened. I've only visited the Holborn one but if the others are as good I would happily visit them if I was in the area. The Holborn branch is super easy to find, as it is located on High Holborn just two minutes walk from ...

Review of My Old Dutch, London

My Amsterdam experience

Advantages: Fun, lots to see, easy to get to, clean
Disadvantages: A bit seedy and very cold in winter

rooms are open while they rebuilt other areas. In these rooms they have put the most viewed items, those which people would come to the museum to see. These include artifacts in the first couple of rooms, from the Dutch Golden Age. Then there are rooms of paintings, including a room for Rembrandt, one for Vermeer and one for Frans Hals. The most famous painting was the Night Watch by Rembrandt, which was enormous. The museum building was absolutely huge so I'm quite glad that I didn't have to walk through all of it in the time we were there. However, I would like to go back there if I had more time. The Van Goch Museum was interesting, but to be honest I'm more of an Old Master person! It was interesting to learn about his life, although his ear, or lack thereof, was not mentioned! There were many of his paintings on display ...

Review of Amsterdam (Netherlands)

Apartment smelled of drains

Advantages: Nice pool, pleasanr helpful staff, appartment very clean
Disadvantages: Bathroom stunk of drains, kitchen antiquated, no kettle, toaster or hairdryer

in the car and go and explore for a while. SUNSHINE MAKES EVERYTHING LOOK GOOD: We made our way up to the pool area and were pleasantly surprised by a couple of big pools, lots of sun loungers and umbrellas, a couple of quiet bars and a restaurant. It all looked quiet, sunny and inviting. We sat down and enjoyed an iced tea and toasted sandwiches. We had been up since 2am and I had only had a cup of coffee and water so I was quite hungry by now. The waiter was lovely and the food was fine. We were getting quite positive vibes and when we went back to reception they said our apartment was ready we were almost on a high. MAYBE I SPOKE TOO SOON: We drove around to near our apartment and went up to the top floor, no lift but we are quite fit so that is not a great problem. We struggled with the old key in the lock and eventually got in. It ...
