Dutch Design Hotel Vondelpark

I absolutely loved the location of the hotel. It was situated in a serene and peaceful neighbourhood, which had a very sophisticated and upscale vibe. What's more, getting to the hotel from Amsterdam central station was a breeze. All I had to do was hop on the number 2 tram just outside the station and ride seven stops. Once I arrived, I found that the hotel was just a short walk away. The hotel's housekeeping was nothing short of exceptional. I stayed there for two nights, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that my room was cleaned to perfection each morning. It was evident that the staff took great pride in their work and paid close attention to detail. One of the highlights of my stay was the complimentary breakfast, which was a wonderful touch. I was spoilt for choice with the variety of options available, including boiled eggs, toast, brown and white rolls, cheeses, pork slices, apple and orange juice, teas, coffee, and hot chocolate. I even took advantage of the option to pack a lunch every morning, which included a couple of rolls, cheese, ham, and an egg. Overall, my experience at the hotel was exceptional, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates comfort, convenience, and exceptional service.

Loved the location. A really nice residential road close to the park so the area was quiet at night. Only a 30 minute walk to Museum Square through the fabulous Vondelpark (off road, lovely park, nice bars, vibrant). Close to tram stop, less than 5 minute walk when we didn't have time to walk. Plenty of cafes & restaurants walkable for when we didn't want to go into the City Centre. Room was very clean. Staff very helpful. Able to help yourself to tea & coffee in the shared dining room was ok. Slightly random but the bathroom mirror was great - didn't steam up!

- Polite and helpful staff - Good location - direct tram to the centre is 5 minutes away. Also, the park is at the doorstep. - Clean, nice shampoo in the shower - Good bed - Some free water Overall, it is good value for money by Amsterdam standards

Rooms are all different, as you would expect but they are ALL impeccably clean, looks like everything is newly done. I actually stayed in 2 different rooms because I loved my time at this hotel so much, I extended my stay by a week! I stayed on top (4th floor). I found it to be quiet. There is a small elevator and welcome when you show up tired from travel. The location of the hotel is steps away from the beautiful and most popular park in Amsterdam, Vondelpark. And it's a 5-minute walk to Tram 2 or 10-minute walk to Tram 1. Easily walkable to Leidsplein through Vondelpark, about 20-25 minutes but Tram 1 and Tram 2 both stop at Leidsplein. Rooms don't have a fridge or coffee maker but that's fine because they offer free coffee and tea all day! For the price, this seems impossible but it's true. This keeps the rooms looking like that streamlined Dutch design. Breakfast is all you need. Yogurts, bread, croissants, cheese, boiled eggs. Other things as well. Ample to get the day started. I really can't say enough positive things about the staff. Professional, friendly and ready to help when needed. Because I stayed for a couple of weeks, I could really observe the outstanding service provided by staff at all levels. This includes Huan (sp) and Mayerlin who keep the rooms clean and take great pride in their work. Kudos to the Manager, Ana, with her personal approach to making sure you have everything you need. She and her team, Matthew and Anastasia; easy to have conversations with and highly approachable. Matthew went out of his way several times to give me directions and tips on getting around. I wish I knew the name of the woman who helped keep operations running smoothly in the morning at breakfast. She was lovely, always said good morning when you walked into the breakfast room. She has red hair! Please tell her thank you for me.

The hotel was small but great. Be warned the rooms are very tight but beautifully done. Breakfast was good although around the corner is an amazing place for Brunch, Dignita. The neighbourhood is very local and the hotel is off on a quiet side street. In less than 2 minutes walk you have the Main Street with plenty of dining options, shopping and a supermarket. The tram was easy to get and a quick trip into the city centre. The ideal location for the Marathon. They even had breakfast available 30 minutes earlier to accommodate.
