We love this hotel. It’s the second time we have stayed here when visiting Amsterdam. The hotel has a lovely vibe. Can’t quite put my finger on why. The rooms are spacious and the bar and restaurant facilities of a high standard.
The hotel is close to a metro rail stop and makes accessing by public transport easy. On the outskirts of the city a little but so easy to get to.
Will probably always stay here whenever we are in Amsterdam.

we spent 4 nights at this hotel at the end of our trip in the Netherlands. The spa and wellness center was LOVELY. The sauna's and steam rooms were great and we enjoyed relaxing in the pool. Just a heads up the pool is in the wellness center, so although kids are allowed it's not really a \"jump and splash\" kind of pool.

We stayed in a family suite which was excellent, spacious, and well designed. The only minor feedback is that there is no air vent in the kids bedroom and if you close the pocket door it gets very stuffy in there. But the room was excellent and well appointed.

We opted for the breakfast buffet and it was very comprehensive. The metro station in very close to the hotel and takes less than 15 minutes to Amsterdam centraal.

The property is well-maintained and clean. It is ideal for my work travel to Amsterdam. It is very close to the Over Amstel Station, so you can easily take the Metro into the city centre. I have stayed there multiple times and found that the front desk staff are not completely helpful. Both times I had check-in (room key pick-up) issues. The restaurant and bar staff are friendly. The breakfast buffet is a expensive for this location. There are spa amenities on the property, which I have not used.

Love this hotel. Stayed already 3 times. The best one in Amsterdam i would say. Close to airport, only 20 min away, great clean area, 2 min walk to metro station to go to the center which will take only 10 min by train. And cheap, arpund 2£. Hotel is very clean, well maintened. Great staff at the reception, very welcoming. Great staff at the restaurants, very friendly. Room is spacious, clean, love the design. Good tea and coffee facilities, water. In shower you have shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, which is great, not the 10 in 1 options :D body lotion in bathroom. Love the product, very good. Try SPA, so great amd relaxing: sauna, steam, aroma sauna, foot bath, relaxing area. Restaurants great. For breakfast good variety of food, delicious coffee and fresh juices. Try pizza from Moqum, you can take it as room service, very delicious. Bar itself is great. Highly recommended hotel.

Big rooms with nice views, especially if you are on high floors. Beautifully decorated.
Mixed feelings about the mattress and pillows, which is a very Dutch style are square.
No offence, but shorter people will find that many things in the room are placed very high, like the sink, the liquid soap and the closet racks to hung clothes.
Excellent cocktails at the bar!

Staff was a bunch of idiots who did not care about needs of the client and chose to argue rather than provide some solution blaming Expedia for booking issues. Overall experience is simply bad, no help in baggage and pricing changes. My stay was suppose to be about $667 and was charged well over $900. They blame Expedia for the reservations issue but are unwilling to come to some sort of compromise. I would recommend just stay away and find a place closer to the city.

This place did not meet my expectations.

The hotel is in a remote area and required the use of multiple trains to get there.

I did not feel safe being so remote at all. Even the area around the property was desolate. Especially the train station. I ended up not leaving my hotel which made for a terrible trip. There is absolutely nothing to do in the hotel or around the hotel.

They also nickeled and dimed me. I needed a rollaway bed and was charged an additional fee for a bed that was available and not being used at the time.

The rooms were entirely too small and the onsite bar and restaurant left little to be desired. I would not recommend.

The room was spacious and clean. The Wi-Fi was very good, but dropped out each day. The staff were helpful and very friendly. There were two small water bottles provided each day. However, I would suggest a water station is provided on each floor for guests to use. This would be environmentally friendly and provide guests with hydration. The climate control in the room needs better information on how to access the hot mode. The air blows on the bed with a coldness despite the fan being turned down.

If you're into goth style then this might be your place, room I got was black, which is an odd color for a room. The toilet had a rather weird wallpaper (at least i hope it was wallpaper) green leafs and island birds on it. The staff told me they weren't part of the chain of van der valk hotels but had the part of the same name as the chain and used the exact same logo, that's sounds like copyright infringement to me but its a different country maybe they do things differently there. I mention this because somehow i end up there instead of the hotel i was trying to book (van der valk Haarlem), could of sworn i triple check the name before booking. Asked if they could help me transfer the reservation but they said that they weren't a part of the chain. I could leave but that they wouldn't refund me, i ended up almost an hour away from where I should have been.

Nice Hotel Let Down by Extra Charges & Rude Staff

At first the hotel seemed attractive, but several issues soon became clear. The pool is outdoors, which was not obvious from the photos, so if the weather is bad you are exposed to the elements. The hotel also charges extra for many things, including breakfast which many Amsterdam hotels include, spa access and bathrobes, so the advertised price may not be the whole picture.

On my last night I requested a late checkout and was told there was normally a fee but that it had been 'sorted'. The next day as I was about to leave an angry staff member banged on my door, accused me of lying and demanded I go to reception to pay immediately. I understand mistakes can happen, but being treated like a dishonest guest was upsetting. The situation could have been handled far more politely, although she did apply a small discount in the end.

Some staff, especially in the bar, were genuinely lovely, so it is a shame that the experience was marred by how I was treated at the end. I have stayed at this chain elsewhere with only positive experiences, but this incident has left me questioning how new guests might be treated.

I stayed at the Van der Valk Hotel and was genuinely impressed. This is a beautiful, modern hotel in a fantastic location—just a short 2-minute walk to the metro and less than 15 minutes into central Amsterdam. It’s the ideal balance of convenience and calm.

The staff were welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. My room was spacious, spotless, and stylishly designed, with all the modern comforts you’d hope for. The on-site spa and gym were excellent additions, perfect for unwinding or keeping up with a fitness routine.

Honestly, I can’t see why anyone would leave a negative review. Everything exceeded expectations, and I’ll definitely be staying here again the next time I visit Amsterdam. Highly recommended!

The room was nice, the hotel is a little out of the way but it’s a pretty walk to the nearby metro. The spa was great, and very welcome after a long flight.
Note though, the ‘fridge’ in the room is not a fridge! I bought some supplies and put them in there. Only to have my food be warm the next day. I had to throw away my yoghurt and salad. I was told that it was meant to keep temperature, not keep things cold.
Apart from that a great stay, friendly staff and a positive experience.

I had higher expectations for this hotel given its high-rise design and facilities. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite match.

Despite the hotel having many upper floors with views, I was assigned a room on the 4th floor — which is effectively the first floor above the gym, offices, and other service areas. It lacked the views and quiet I had hoped for.

We placed the “Please clean the room” sign before leaving in the morning, but when we returned late in the evening, the room had not been cleaned. I also had to call twice to receive the complimentary daily water — the first request was ignored, and only after the second call (20+ minutes later) was it delivered.

The hotel has potential, but attention to basic service and room assignment makes a big difference, especially for guests expecting more.

The door for the toilet is made of transparent glass. I am not kidding you. If you are sitting on the toilet, everyone in the room will be able to see you. It was extremely embarrassing.

We loved this property! We booked the Family Suite. It included bunk beds in a separate room with its own TV. The main suite was well appointed, clean and a nice size. One note, all of the family suites are next to the elevator but we weren't disturbed by any noise. The amenities at this hotel were outstanding with 2 restaurants off the lobby and a spa, no fee required. We loved the spa as it has a sauna, steam room, bucket shower, heat swings, outdoor pool, beds for lounging, foot bath, filtered water, ample towels... just awesome. One downside is the location is a 20 minute taxi ride from downtown. There's a metro station very nearby but no shopping or cafes in the area. Altogether, a great stay!

The hotel was a pleasant discovery. Didnt expect it to be so beautiful and so well themed. A very warm welcome at the reception by the team, we have got our room straight away, which is amazing. You feel welcomed and expected. Property is very clean and well maintained. Room is amazing. Spacious, comfortable, big panoramic windows and view on the river side. Loved tropical theme of the hotel and our room. Thank you to the housekeeping for making it clean for our arrival. I liked, that they have green initiative and no cleaning in daily basis. Only when you really need you can request. Shower gel and soap is amazing, even purchased for myself (at the reception you can buy it). SPA is superb. Amazing tropic sauna, finnish sauna and steam. All also decorated as tropical theme. Swimming pool is small. Gym is fine, you have all you need for your fitness holiday routine. Restaurant is great, but would not reccomend steak, but carpaccio, seafood, oysters are great. Bar is great and even you can order any cocktail of your choice even if its not on the menu.
Hotel is 2 min walk to the train station and you can reach in 10 min the center. Very easy, very convenient. Loved our stay and definitely will be back.
