our room was very small. i'm used to small hotel rooms but this was nuts. the bathroom TINY and very poorly designed. the toilet didn't work in our room and there was someone else's stuff in it! the tv also didn't work. they gave us a new room across the hall. everything in working order but again the room was... more

This hotel is tucked away by Vondel Park...which to some is better than staying in a loud slum right in the heart of Amsterdam. Oddly enough, like many said we did not have towels, but they brought them to us. The service was a bit unfriendly but not unaccomadating. You have to ride a tram to visit any attractions like... more

Other than we usually see in European hotels, this one has a great "personality". Each room has a different theme, I stayed with my boyfiend at the most "minimal" one and an other friendly couple at the Confucius room. Ok, I have to admit that the tv was a bit old, the boathrooms of both rooms too small but still... more

We stayed in this hotel after having been there a few years ago. It has most definitely gone downhill. The staff were as helpful and friendly as on our previous stay and I can't comment on the food as we didn't eat there. 15Euro is a bit much just for breakfast! However after having stayed in the annexe last visit... more

The hotel is nicely located in a quiet side street off Overtoom, close to tram stops and Vondelpark, and walkable to the city centre - this is the upside. Our room was in an annexe, and was very tired and dingy. I accept the hotel is intended to be characterful and quirky, however our room was simply in need of... more

This was my first stay in Amsterdam since my whippersnapper days when i would have slept anywhere. Now i,m looking for comfort, good service and value for money. The Hotel de Filosoof fits all these categories and i would recommend it unrservedly more

Second time staying here and no particular criticisms of hotel other than expensive - ended up more than we'd expected - maybe down to us. The location is excellent - minutes from the Vondelpark and tram to Central Station a few meters away. On second occasion we were in the annex. OK but we didn't know til we got there.... more

We spent a long time looking for a hotel in Amsterdam. We finally settled on The Hotel de Filosoof. It was a great decision to have made, and a real relief when we arrived, since even the good hotels have their fair share of bad reviews. We contacted the hotel directly, who matched the internet agent's price, and where very... more

Made booking with online internet travel group reservation site. Arrived at Filosoof hotel, but then I realised I made wrong booking October 12-14, instead of September 12-14. The Hotel was unfortunately full, and so were a lot of hotels in Amserdam, because of the a big number of visitors attending the IBC conference. The Hotel manager was very helpful to... more
