Our twentieth trip to Amsterdam: best neighborhood yet; finest hotel staff we've encountered; fine bars and cafes within minutes; BUT eccentric room layout--the architect lost, the bean counters won--long, narrow, on the verge of absurd; shower pressure and temp tops, but required floor wiping after use; beds qualified as cots, with one angled out to avoid the radiator; tatty, soiled...

We have traveled to Amsterdam for visiting, so this hotel was a very good choice. The hotel is located in a very quiet area, close to the biggest park in Amsterdam - Vondelpark.

Each room is themed after a different Philosopher. The best room is probably Spinoza - here at least the internet works (in most rooms it doesn't... More

Nice location in a lovely neighborhood adjacent to the park. I stayed in one of the suites, which I was surprised to find in a townhouse across the street from the main hotel. This wasn't a problem per se, and the townhouse type location allowed me to pretend that I actually lived in Amsterdam (and would be great for a... More
