I travel 130 days a year for work and I need a hotel that is high on comfort and friendliness but low on ceremony and overbearing staff overkill. As a traveler, those 5 star hotels drive me nuts. I prefer to be left alone and not nickled and dimed to death. 5 dollar bottles of mini-bar water and 12 dollar... more

to make it short it was by far the worst experience in my travel both in india and abroad. we visited 8 different countries during our european tour and the only moment we regret is when we choose this hotel to stay. the front office had only people with very little knowledge of english and very little IQ. sorry to... more

Hotel V Frederiksplein is conveniently located on or close to several main avenues and that made walking around Amsterdam easy and enjoyable. There is a tram stop just across from the hotel, so getting to the farthest corners of the city is a simple matter. We found the room small, but modern and spotless. Our objective was to spend as... more

I definitely agree with many of the other reviews that the rooms are too small, and there isn't enough storage. They’ve crammed one too many rooms onto each floor and then concentrated on appearance over practicalities. We stayed for 3 nights in a standard double room. Everything looked very good, but the bed was cramped into an alcove and just... more

Me and my wife had a few nights stay at Hotel V Frederiksplein. It is located in a lovely neighborhood not far but not close to the Dam (20-25 min walk). Museumplein is in short distance and there is tram stop just outside the hotel. Although we are fans of walking, we used the tram no.4 or no.15 from/to Centraal... more

Nice try at design, but incredibly unpractical. LOTS of sharp edges in the rooms. Very THIN walls. The doors in the hallways are always slamming. Average breakfast. Nice staff. GREAT beds. CLEAN room. Unfortunately, this place is overpriced for what you get. Wow... how can the doors slam so hard? Is this the 90th time since 06.30??? No need for... more

You have got to try this place when in Amsterdam! Very chic property with a staff that is absoultely fabulous in helping your stay in the city be an awesome experience. This hotel is an easy 20 minute walk from the Central rail station right through the heart of the city. Puts you a stones throw away fom the heinken... more

This was booked thru a friend of a Hen party I went with. I have stayed in Amsterdam six times before and for ease (and less expense) try to stay as near to central station as possible! The problems started when our cab drivers didnt know where they were going, however the hotel being fairly new it was prob expected!... more

Just returned from a 3 night stay at the V in Frederiksplein. I agree with InspectorBaggaley's review below. The hotel is well designed and quirky, with high quality finishes and fittings. It has some idiosyncrasies, but the great atmosphere and the friendly staff make you forget them. We really felt at home there and often hung out in the lobby... more
