Hotel Vondel - Amsterdam

Location

Very Expensive and i booked this because it was rated to be 4 star, but infact it is not. I would rate this as to be 2-3.

Location

Moving about the hallways and stairs. Typical old eu, narrow and lots of different levels to watch out for

Location

room was basic - located directly under the reception area which meant we were kept awake with the sound of footsteps and moving of luggage.Breakfast was poor value.

Good location

The breakfast was too expensive. Neither my husband nor I eat enough for breakfast to justify that high a price.

Location

We book standard room (not small room) and it was WERY small room!

Location

I aksed for a quiet room 3 days in advance of stay - I got a room on 1st floor beside the walkway, so really noisy. Room service was brutal, staff brusque and guess what - this was all 310 euros per night - crazy price

Really good location.

1) I was bitten all over by bed bugs in the first night. This is not something I would expect for nearly 300 Euros / night. I was then moved into an executive room (without bed bugs) but no further action was taken. I would have expected them to not bill the first night or at least take the room service charges off. Or go to a pharmacy and get me something for the bites!!! 2) My colleague was given a room directly underneath reception (wooden floors) facing the front of the hotel - it was so noisy that she also had to move rooms. 3) The executive room I was moved to had no aircon and it was sub terrain. It was extremely stuffy and I could not open the windows as anybody could have literally just "walked" in. The room service menu was extremely poor for vegetarians - you could either get a (small) salad or fries. Overall I was extremely disappointed, given that this hotel had come highly recommended.

The hotel is in a beautiful street and very accessable to all the main sights and next to the Vondel Park. Weather permitting you can sit in the garden in the back of the hotel. All the staff speak English and were very friendly.

We were given a double bedroom (room 205) facing the street. Nice view but lots of traffic noise as there are several hotels in the street. We could hear our neighbours through the wall, word for word when they had an argument on our second morning at 6am; obviously they had to catch an early flight. We were too tired to ask for another room. The new guest was on his own but we could still hear when he was talking on the phone, the television and using the bathroom. The bath/shower was difficult to climb into. It took two nights before we were given proper bath towels in addition to the hand towels issued and for the torn quilt cover to be replaced. Very disappointing for a 4 star hotel.

The staff was friendly!

The room we stayed in smelled of fresh paint so it wasn't too comfortable and it was on the 4/f without elevator access .Luckily, the staff helped us with our luggage but you still need to walk up some steep stairs. In addition, we had problems locating our friend's room on other floors - alot of twists and turns.

Great location next to Vondel park and main museums, friendly staff, very atmospheric

walls are a bit too thin so you may here loud neighbors or the cleaning lady

The location is very nice - perfect for exploring the city!

My room was sadly not as clean as I would expect in such a hotel, plus wifi was hardly working. Avoid room in the basement, poor value for money

The staff are amazing. Me and my partner had a bit of trouble in Amsterdam where he got attacked in city centre. He got taken into Accidents and Emergency. The reception team were great at comforting me as I was shocked and also took very good care of him. I wish that the experience in Amsterdam was different however stuff happens that is out of our control.

I would highly recommend this hotel to a friend. Great location and staff was very helpful. If you are a Van Gough fan, this hotel is for you. Try the pancake when you are there; loved them!!!!!

My only complaint, if it is a complaint at all is that the bed was too high. After a long flight, it felt like I needed to stretch before climbing in.

Very nice rooms, great breakfast with fresh orange juice and coffee machine to make your own latte. Close to the hop on hop off bus and canal cruises and many restaurants 5 minutes away.

A bit pricey. The corridors to our room on third floor needed a refresh.

great location for the museums and very comfortable bed

We were given a basement room - with no view whatsoever - on querying this we were told we had specifically booked a basement room - which was completely untrue. The staff were inflexible on changing our room, basically saying to us take it or leave it - it had already been paid for!
