We always try to see the good before the bad, find the positive in the negative but the Vondel almost makes us throw that philosophy out of its boutique window! Good things about the Vondel :- Location is excellent. Cleanliness what you hope for. Not so good things :- Sound insulation absolutely non existent. We did not have to turn... more

First of all, I would like to point out that I'm a 23 year old student, and not very demanding. I found this hotel on booking.com and booked it because it was a very good price (190 euros for 2 nights) for a hotel in the centre of Amsterdam. The receptinist was quite nice and gave me a room on... more

We stayed here for 1 night in late March 2008. Anyone booking accommodations in Amsterdam will have found that hotels are quite expensive. We got a [relatively] good deal on this one at otel.com The hotel’s location is pretty good, not in the centre but an easy tram ride. We quite liked the hotel’s design and the lobby itself was... more

The hotel was clean and nicely decorated. However our nice experience stopped there. Walls are so thin you can feel (yes feel) people walking past the room. Originally we were placed in a stunning room, with a huge double bed and lovely bathroom with bath and shower BUT it was right next to the lift and after realising how noisy... more

Being from Belgium, we are not inclined to visit nearby destinations as Amsterdam (only a 3 hour ride by car from home) But Amsterdam was full of surprises. A very vibrant, hip and beautiful city with splendid walks to discover over the little bridges over the Leidse grachten. Hotel Vondel is not a cheap hotel when you book it through... more

Great location, great decor, large rooms, very swanky, helpful staff - we loved it! Very modern, original art all about, lovely restaurant/lounge area. Arrived and asked for a quiet room - we got room 304, which was out the back and very quiet, but extremely small. Next day I went and asked for a bigger room (as we were staying... more

Location, location, location...That's all I've got to say. Design was great (lobby, bar and rooms). Only remark: The guy at the reception was a bit snobby and not very friendly. He kept talking english to me and I'm Dutch (go figure). Have fun! more

Stylish, modern, great location, good service, and even a great breakfast... and all within minutes walk of the best part of Amsterdam, the Leidseplein - full of trendy bars, shops and of course coffee shops. Would highly recommend this as a change from the usual Marriot or chain hotels... more

My partner and I arrived on Sun 13th Jan for a 5 night stay in the Vondel Hotel. We were greeted by a friendly receptionist who showed us to our rooms in the furthest part of the hotel from the bar etc. The room was spacious, modern and clean so we settled in for a good nights sleep. We were... more
