I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Van de Vijsel. Everything was spotless, and the staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful, which made me feel welcome right away. My favorite part was honestly the location — it couldn’t be more convenient. I loved being able to walk to most of the city center and explore without needing transportation. It made my trip so much easier and more enjoyable. Overall, a wonderful place to stay and one I’d happily return to.

After a long travel day from the states the shower felt great! The bed was comfortable, albeit in an upstairs loft, which we were not aware of when booking. So if stairs are an issue for you just know that’s a problem.

Located on the perimeter of the city and walkable (~30 miniutes) to the Amsterdam Central station. 2 min walk from the nearest tram station. Rooms are well-designed, furniture is slightly under-equipped (narrow desk and chair cannot comfortably fit in the space between the desk and the bed) but has the basic things you need. Kettle lid was broken and some visible wear and tear in the room, but was very clean.

Really enjoyed our three night stay at Hotel van de Vijsel. It's very convenient located close to the Vondrelpark, the Museumplein and the Leidseplein. The hotel is quiet with an excellent air conditioning system and comfortable bed. It was our wedding anniversary, so I ordered there special package of bubbly, chocolates, balloons and petals. My wife loved the surprise and the bubbly was a gorgeous Spanish Cava and the chocs were delicious. Well done Hotel van de Vijsel!

You might be looking at this hotel and thinking, "Seems like a modern, hip hotel in a convenient area of Amsterdam for a good price -- I should book it!" Did you know, however, that in a city which famously resides below sea level, it's possible for hotel rooms to be in the basement? Neither did I. For four nights, I descended to level "Minus 1" and passed cleaning supplies and bags of sheets from other, presumably above ground, rooms in the hotel, all of which was stored in the hallway. My room's only window looked out onto a courtyard shared with the lobby, so employees and guests could conveniently peer into my subterranean dwelling. In the hallway, the cleaning staff often looked startled to see me, as if I'd wandered into a part of the building where I wasn't supposed to be. "No!" I wanted to say to them. "You don't understand! I was assigned to live down here, despite paying the same price as guests staying on the upper floors." I didn't, but I do know that I won't be back.
