Hotel van de Vijsel - Overtoom 13-17

Very good hotel near city centre. Nice and tidy rooms. Friendly staff. Reasonable price.

The room was small and had no storage space for the luggage, the only way i was able to open my bag was to put it on the bed or the hallway.. also no mini fridge and they do not offer cleaning even tho we stayed there for 3 nights. Breakfast was ok, nothing special. The staff wasn’t customer friendly (only a woman with short blonde hair was helpful). Also something very gross about the bed… there were these tiny bugs walking on it, i thought that they had come from an open window or something but now being back home (arrived home 1 week ago) i realised that they were bedbugs!! My boyfriend has these itchy spots on his arms and back.. so no i would not recommend this place to anyone!

Great rooms, centric location close to the museum quarter, super value for money, and the staff was helpful throughout. Recommended!

Just spent 3 nights here , great location really big bed , loved the pillows I would love to get some like that myself, staff was friendly, only complaint is you can hear everything the upstairs room does and says through the vent , we really enjoyed our stay thanks again

Really nice hotel. The atmosphere in the hotel is really friendly. Staff was always willing to help and answer questions. I definitely recommend this hotel. Is located near the center of Amsterdam and the rooms were very comfortable with excellent service.

Super lovely hotel! Great atmosphere like home, cool design, friendly staff and easy to get here! There are some recommendations for car parking near hotel with some discount! Really recommended!

Most of the staff are friendly! The men are not as warm a welcome as the women were! We booked a room with a balcony and confirmed it would be a balcony when we went early to check in and left our luggage when we collected our room key the woman mentioned you are not to step out onto the balcony unless it’s a fire emergency - this was laughable when we got to our room and it a box room with no balcony anyway. We didn’t bother fussing for the balcony in the end because they aren’t so helpful when it comes to room facilities although they did supply us with an adapter as I forgot mine (€25 fee if lost) Luggage storage available. Powerful shower , plenty of towels and room cleaning offered each day You can come and go as you please throughout the night once you have your keycard Negatives Small room no space for anything other than coming in and settling on the bed(this was fine with us) very little storage space in the actual rooms, so little we didn’t bother unpacking in the end. Dark room which is nice in the evening and a warm feel to it but the option for a brighter light bulb or lamp is easily done and would really help as an option- mooDy lighting Makes you fuss less about what you’re wearing atleast haha No bin for rubbish other than bathroom bin, which was tiny they love small in this place- the coffee cups are espresso cups and hold about 30 ml of liquid they can’t even fit the teabag supplied! No plug points near the Tv this was a big sad for us because we brought our chrome cast for the trip as they don’t have smart TV and we couldn’t plug it in. The location is fabulous though- supermarket, dominos, Starbucks, stach, and bike /skate rental and park basically on same stretch of the road as the hotel , it’s a 5 minuet walk to leidsplein Square and virtually a half hour walk to the dam Sq and lots of other quaint places within that walk frame Our fave local coffee shop: The rookies (10 minuet walk from hotel) Fave pizza place: pizza beppe (five minuet walk from hotel) Best coconut macaroons ever : stach cafe (5 mins from hotel) Best bike rental and great prices: otto Bikes its about 10+ minuets walk down from hotel and €7.50 for 4 hours or the day can’t remember. really good quality bikes, not tacky rentals !

the lady at the front desk was the best! we had a lovely chat with her. they handle everything very professionally. the breakfast tasted good as it was freshly made. the lady serving the breakfast was so sweet. the hotel is easily accessible by public transport and situated close to the (normally) vibrant Leidseplein. the hotel was quiet even though we weren’t the only guests! thank you for everything.
