Who are we?

We are a home hotel hybrid offering short and long-term stay in a new and creative space. A flexible landing ground for international young talent coming to Amsterdam to work or study. We provide the privacy of your own room when you need it and a community when you want it.

We strive to make our guests feel a little less like a tourist and a lot more like a local. And we do so with success! We are opening our second location in May 2023, and we invite you to be a part of it!

The name at the core of our hotels, Jansen, is one of the oldest and most common Dutch family names. Inspired by this heritage we are driven to revive a feeling of family. Everything in the hotel revolves around this family idea. Our newly rebranded Café Jansen Amsterdam is the heart of the hotel; it’s our lobby, a workplace, and a hang-out spot.

The restaurant is a welcoming space for all. Our menu will be designed to reflect a true sense of seasonality. The light flavours of summer, the warm comforting tastes of winter and the freshness of the seasons that meet in-between. We as the chefs will craft classic dishes with simple contemporary twists, creating a unique culinary experience that celebrates the vibrancy of each season.

The menu will change throughout the year to reflect the availability of the ingredients. Featuring seasonally inspired dishes, from classic comfort foods to innovative creations that highlight the uniqueness of local flavours. Café Jansen is a place that feels like Amsterdam, inspired by the diversity and originality of the neighbourhood that is the newly redeveloped Bajeskwartier.

VISUAL CONTENT CREATOR & SOCIAL MEDIA INTERN HOTEL JANSEN AMSTERDAM & CAFÉ JANSEN AMSTERDAM

Hotel Jansen Amsterdam

We are a flexible landing ground for internationals coming to Amsterdam. A home hotel hybrid, designed to offer our guests the privacy of their own room when they need it and community when they want it. We chose the name Jansen as it is one of the oldest and most common Dutch family names; easy to pronounce and especially down to-earth. Everything in the hotel revolves around this family idea. Our uniquely designed hotel has everything that is needed for a welcoming stay whether that be for one day or six months. We strive to make our guests feel a little less like a tourist and a lot more like a local. And we do so with success! We are opening our second location in May 2023.

Café Jansen Amsterdam Bajeskwartier

It’s safe to say that Café Jansen is built on the ground of an iconic landmark: the Bijlmerbajes. Once a restricted area, soon a green and bustling place where everyone is welcome. On the first of May our doors will swing wide open and everyone will be welcome to come and go as they please in our brand new all day playground.  Breakfast will be pure joy, with a menu featuring our spin on everyone’s all-time favorites (yes, we mean eggs Bennie). For lunch, we embrace our international side going beyond the typical Dutch sandwiches. But dinnertime might be our favourite time…

During dinnertime chef Vaughn and his team will work their magic in the open kitchen with a menu inspired by French cuisine and ranges from classic comfort food to innovative dishes that highlight the uniqueness of local seasonal flavours. With a background in British, French and Mediterranean cuisine the chefs style is hard to define and that’s what makes it so interesting. The wine menu will be a nice balance between conventional and biodynamic wines and the cocktailmenu consists out of the classics (done right!). Coffee comes from local coffee brewery Stooker and is not to be missed. Trust us. So start your day with a morning coffee and find yourself an all day working spot. Start your afternoon drinks a little early and stay for an amazing dinner. Get lost on the terrace while trying to follow the sun and dance the night away with friends. Café Jansen is more than just another restaurant.
