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. Very easy to reach from the airport - you take the bus 197 to Leidseplein and from there you need 10' walk towards south on Overtoom or... More

We stayed in the annex across the street from the main hotel. The room was a good size, with a bath and shower. The wallpaper and carpets were a bit tatty but the room was clean, beds were very comfortable. Very friendly, helpful staff. The room was cold when we arrived and I found that the radiator wasn't working. I... More

As often the case the website made the hotel look somewhat better than it was in reality.Our first room was in the hotel annex up some very difficult twisting stairs which i believe can be common in Amsterdam .The bathroom was minute and a sort of box added into the room and the beds were really lumpy although the room...

Stayed here in february. That time it was freezing in amsterdam, temperatures round -10 but my room was warm and clean, and bed was comfortable. Location is superb, right near the vondelpark and a 15 min stroll to the leidseplein. A big plus for me was they sold Duvel beer in the little bar at the reception. More

As the Dutch philosopher Spinoza said; "All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare. " I've stayed at his hotel a couple of times and it is ok ... for Amsterdam standards. 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

Great Location - right off a park and in a very pretty neighborhood. The room itself was also nice, with direct access to an outdoor courtyard. The bathroom smelled a bit like mildew and the room itself was cold. I loved the theme and the decor was cute. More
