Over priced for what it is.
Impossible to get ahold of staff as it’s a digital hotel and no reception.
The staff were loud at 1:00am, I had to ask them to be quiet.
Our room was in lower level, second night we got flooded it’s been almost a week and I haven’t got my refund back from the hotel.

Good location, electronic key system worked well, but meant you had to make sure your phone was charged at all times.

Information pre check-in was accurate and timely.

Light switches in the room didn’t all work and one was flickery.

Tiny tiny twin room.

You get what you pay for. We booked a twin but luckily ended up in a 4 single bed room. There is no wardrobes or storage but as we had a spare bed each this was not a problem on this occasion. The window did not full shut but we weren’t cold and the beds were comfy. There was a nespresso machine & kettle provided but no pods or milk to make coffee. There is unfortunately no fridge to purchase your own milk. The shower was great but the button from the flush was missing and the sink is small.
Access to the building was convenient using the app but this depends on you not having your battery die!

Clean place however needs maintaining, for example the toilet was missing a button to be able to flush it and entrance to hotel smelt very strong of urine. A very nice area to stay in but I wouldn’t say this place screams luxury at all, you get what you pay for. Walls are very thin so you can hear everyone around you. Doors are unlocked using phones which doesn’t feel so secure alongside no proper manual locks on doors that work. It would also be nice to see more staff as one only checks in online and there is no reception.

The location was very convenient — easy to walk around and close to bus stops. However, there’s no elevator, which makes it difficult for seniors. Communication with the administration was very slow and disappointing. For example, the safe box didn’t work, and staff made no effort to fix it despite our requests.

The hotel was in a goid neighborhood, but that was it. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The bathroom was full of mould (walls and shower curtain) and emited a strong, unpleasant odour.
The doors (especially the bathroom door) and walls of the room were visibly dirty.
The bedding consisted of a topper placed on two mattresses which were themselves very dirty, raising hygiene and comfort concerns.
These conditions fall well below the standards of cleanliness and safety that one can reasonably expect. In the last night we were also as well locked out our room, because the digital system failed. I have complained, but no answer came back.
As a paying guest this is unacceptable.

Our stay was good perhaps the room didn't have good Wi-Fi, was super slow and the signal was poor, no frige, no iron, no microwave, and the bathroom extractor didn't work, I reported it but they didn't do anything about it. The room had a tv and a safe, if you ask me, it doesn't worth it for the price we paid.

The room was small but comfortable. The location was very convenient to Leidesplein, the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museums and Vondel Park. The check in and electronic key system was inconvenient and confusing. They provided a Nespresso machine but not the little coffee packets—so we couldn’t actually make coffee. There was no person on site for reception or guidance, but weirdly—while we were out—someone entered the room to tidy the bedding. That felt creepy since they didn’t bring coffee or any other amenities—it just seemed like an invasion of our privacy. I would recommend it to budget/no frills travelers, but most people could find a more pleasant location. There was a yard in back—but we weren’t allowed to enter. In general, they made no attempt to make this a pleasant stay—just a functional place to sleep.

Hotel Vondel is the absolute WORST HOTEL in Amsterdam I would not bother coming to a place like this! The hotel lies on expedia about amenities and also lied about having a 24 hour front desk! The hotel advertised 11am check-in and when we arrived we were sent away until 3pm as no room was available! Not front desk was working we had to talk to a door bell it was a very scary experience for a family feeling stuck across the world! After checking in to The hotel it was was small dirty and noisy next to a party place! Not suitable for family as they have a bar and a party atmosphere next store it completely ruined our trip booking this hotel caused a lot of extra in needed stress

Please do your research properly on this hotel..

In a few words, the hotel’s pictures do not match the room we stayed in. Could be that the pictures were taken when the hotel was newer. Bed comfy, (however mattress torn) that’s the only positive. Room narrow and dark, bathroom just big enough for a child, curtain hanging off, stained pillows and you can tell it’s been that way for a long time, banging doors all night long and people stomping around in the early hours for extended periods of time. Receptionist I spoke with remotely, talked over me the whole time so difficult to get our self check in. It states the hotel has reception is staffed and open until 10pm this is not true! She also told me I could stay elsewhere at my expense and I would not be refunded..I will be pursuing getting some if not all of my money refunded!

Beware the 3rd floor single rooms!

This hotel is in an old Dutch home with four levels and a very steep and narrow stairwell, and no elevator. My tiny single room was on the top floor, was L-shaped and barely fit me and my suitcase. It had a skylight window that clearly had a leak as there was mold all around the window and the room reeked of mold and bleach from the bathroom. This room might be fine for a young budget traveler with a light suitcase or backpack, but was not good for me. I will say the staff was kind and helpful.

Birthday get away

Lovely place to stay for an easy going couple of days. The location is wonderful as it's tucked away from the masses but Vondel Garden is a quick walk away if you wanted to spend some time in nature and close enough to the excitement not to feel left out.

Rooms are a little on the smaller side, and as a result get very warm but make up for this with the size of the wetrooms and windows.

Close to local amenities which is perfect if you're in the mood for a late night treat.

Beware if you have trouble with steps, there were 45 from front door to room 202. Of course they are narrow, that's typical. We found it charming, but we had only a small luggage and are in pretty good shape.
It seems to have good security, and fair amount of hot water. Room 202 is a family room with a queen bed and 2 twins. Staff is helpful and friendly. The hotel is a just few minutes walk to Hard Rock cafe and great restaurants. Get off the bus from the airport at leidsplain.

Tiny room with very unreliable water

Tiny top floor single room. Mosquitos in the room -- in October! Uncomfortable bed. But the worst thing was the water. In the late afternoon, the shower just barely dribbled down the wall for 20 minutes before the water pressure returned and the shower was then fine. Late on the evening the tap on the sink had nothing. No hot water, no cold water. Just some weird gurgling. 10 minutes later the water worked fine.

Family trip in summer

Room was okay for 4 adult stay. Bathroom was decent size. Room was clean and beds were comfortable.

Watch outs: No A/C. Stairs are very steep. Try to get a room on first floor. Ours was on 2nd floor and you have to be careful going up and down. This is an old building so not a lot of room for stairs. Also, the shower is a bit slow.

Great place to lay your head for a nice traveling stay in Amsterdam! It’s a small room but had two cozy beds and functional bathroom. Highly recommend this place if your main goal is NOT to be in the room much as it is quite small. We were hardly there and just used it to sleep.
Close to public transportation and plenty of restaurants and shops.

Staff were all accommodating and nice but the hotel is in shambles. The water stops working in the mornings because their plumbing can’t handle more than two people using it at once. Also there’s no elevator and the stairs are really steep. There are a couple other things but those are the big two.

More than just the price.

Our stay was short but exciting. If you are looking for fantastic views this isn't the place. However the hotel is clean tidy and has really helpful staff.
It's located very close to all the main districts in Amsterdam with literally 10 easy walking minutes to them all. We were allowed to leave our bag's early from an early flight before check in and could pay extra for early room check in( not required).
Easy walk to tram stop.
Will advice anyone to purchase the 24hours tram tickets as valid much more than 90min bus.
The hotel rooms are not large but totally adequate for shorter stays, we had hot showers but could have done with airvent extraction!!
Good access to small outside space.
Hotel has dated decor in the reception and corridor areas but sparce in the bedroom. I would definitely recommend this for short stays especially if you aren't going to be using it for more than just functional purposes. It was cheap but delivered more than just the price.
