FAQs

Facilitating global living and working for the traveling professional, Zoku is a home-office hybrid, also suitable for long stays, with the services of a hotel and the social buzz of a thriving neighborhood. Zoku is a relaxed place to live, work and socialize with like-minded people while getting wired into the city.

We’re located on Weesperstraat 105, in the Eastern canal district of Amsterdam. As we’re located in the center, we’re a 3-minute walk away from public transport (metro, tram and bus) and within walking distance of many important educational institutes, culture, shops, and entertainment.

Whether you are traveling by car, plane or public transport, getting to us is easy. For specific directions, check out our Location page.

You can reach out to us via email at helloamsterdam@livezoku.com, by phone at +31 20 811 28 11 or through the chat function on our website. Our Reservations team is available from 08.00 – 18.30 from Monday – Friday and from 09.00 – 17.30 on Saturdays.

We always like to say: the longer you stay, the further you go. That means you’re welcome to stay with us anywhere from one night to one year. Beware: longer stays may cause some separation anxiety!

The Zoku Loft is a spacious micro apartment suitable for both living comfortably and working efficiently. In a regular hotel room or studio apartment, the bed always dominates.

Each Loft sleeps two and contains a full living room, kitchen, bathroom and a big kitchen table. You can even personalize your space by choosing your favourite artwork to hang on the walls and inspire you during your stay. The space is an ideal base of operation for living, working and collaborating, offering all the comfort and efficiency you need.

We have 133 Lofts in total, of which 70 are Zoku Lofts and 55 are Zoku Loft XL’s. We’ve also got other special room types which you can browse here.
