vacation”

Nice small hotel in good location on quiet street. Staff was really great, especially Elenor. Was there for 6 days. Had one meal at the Joost Restaurant which was very nice. The room was clean and comfortable. The shower, however, only dribbled out water slowly. I can understand why, but it took some getting used to. Had a wonderful time in Amsterdam and the Hotel Vondel was certainly an important part of the experience.

Great boutique hotel well located for attractions”

2 minutes walk from Leidseplein but on a quiet street the Vondel hotel is a great base for the Amsterdam sites. Rooms nicely furnished and smart bathroom set up. Staff very friendly and helpful. Vondel Park nearby good for running or a quiet stroll.

Comfortable Hotel”

Hotel Vondel is located about 20 minutes from most of Amsterdams attractions. It is clean and the bed is one of the most comfortable I have slept in. Coffee and tea are provided but no milk. The shower in our room had a large fixed shower head but not removable head, which we found inconvenient. There also needs to be more hanging space for towels. The room was very hot and the air con could do with upgrading. Besides the above cons it was a perfect hotel for a visit to Amsterdam.

FANTASTIC HOTEL...THE BEST!!”

We LOVED the Hotel Vondel...the location could not be beat and the rooms were very nice. We were upgraded to a triple so our room was particularly large! The bed was fantastic...the best bed we have had in 3 weeks in Europe! My only gripe is with booking through Agoda. We had a problem and there is no way to contact them. We inadvertently used the wrong card when we made the reservation months ago. We assumed we could straighten it out when we arrived at the hotel, however Agoda charged our account several days before we arrived! As soon as we realized we had been charged, we tried to call Agoda...we never could get ahold of a live body...after going through all the voice selections we got music that played forever, no person ever came on the line. Their website lists no way to contact them by email. I will never ever book through Agoda again...the hotel was unable to contact them, now was my bank. I think it is terrible that they charged my card 4 days before arrival!

Sensational”

Excellent customer service. Staff available 24 hours for all your needs. My incoming flight was cancelled. Hotel Vondel maintained my reservation and upgraded my room upon arrival. Beautiful room with nice finishings. Amazing location. Only steps from trams, airport shuttle bus, shopping, Vondelpark, restaurants and nightlife. Could not have picked a better place for my first visit to the Netherlands. Thank you.

Enjoyable stay in a quiet city location. Some issues with bathroom shower.”

My wife and I had a nice stay at Hotel Vondel. The check-in was easy and the receptionist had good recommendations for our 2 day visit to the area. The room we were offered was on the small size (#130 I think) but comfortable and had air-conditioning. The bed/bedding was very comfortable. We had an issue with our shower draining (ie: overflowing onto bathroom floor) which was unfortunate. They attempted to fix it but we found it still not draining properly on our 2nd and final night of our stay. 2 showers in a row was too much for it to handle! Upon checkout, the front desk was courteous about the situation and offered us a continental breakfast in the restaurant which was appreciated for the trouble. We would stay here again but perhaps in a different room because of the shower issue.

Great Hotel!”

The Hotel Vondel is a lovely, quirky hotel with fabulous, friendly and extremely helpful staff. It is in a great location with easy access to everything and yet surprisingly quiet. Would definitely recommend.

Quaint hotel in very central location”

I would love to stay in this Hotel again. The staff is wonderful, the Hotel is clean and the location is perfect. Vondel is less than a block from a tram stop and within walking distance of everything! Stay here!

Excellent Hotel”

I loved staying at the hotel the location is great close to all the museums and canals and easy to walk everywhere. It was the first time I was in Amsterdam and traveling by my self I felt very safe and loved the location. The staff were very helpful to where to go, they upgraded me to an amazing room it was beautiful, clean and I will stay there when I go back and HIGHLY recomend it.

Nice boutique hotel”

Beautiful place, cozy room, next to the beautiful Vondel park. Easy walking distance to public transportation. Plenty of stuff within walking distance as well. Lovely and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Great Hotel and a great location”

Hotel Vondel stays my favourite hotel in Amsterdam. The location is perfect. The breakfast could be better, not that much choise for the money.

Exceptional”

Great hotel to stay at near museum quarter,tram and Vondel park. We had a great stay, staff were very helpful as well.

Exceptional”

The place was lovely but smallish. The lighting was insufficient- lots of overhead spots but room was dark. The hot water takes forever to start running. Don’t know if the size and the hot water are typical of Amsterdam. Staff was very nice and location was great.

Disappointing for 4-star hotel”

We travelled to Hotel Vondel as a family to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary. We booked a double room and triple room and e-mailed ahead to request that our rooms be as near each other as possible. Our double room was fine (seemed to be in a newer part of the hotel) but our son and family's room was not even in the same wing and was very disappointing. There had obviously been a leak from the sprinkler onto their carpet which was damp - we reported this to reception and they were changed to a different room the next morning (but again in a far away location from us in the older wing). The staff were very friendly and helpful (except for the lady serving in the bar) and location was good. However I do not think this hotel deserves a 4-star rating.

Underground room”

The room was equip with a really huge bed! It was excellent. Had a bath-tub, A/C worked perfectly. Floor carpet needs to be steam cleaned though and the room updated, but it wasn't so bad. Location was excellent - close to Vondel Park and the city all in one. Nice place to stay.

Good quiet location”

Nice stay, would come back. Near Vondel park (great parc in summer time), very close to the Leidsplein and Tramway, quiet location

Exceptional”

The room was bigger than expected considering how they are in Amsterdam. The location is great and the breafast very nice. The staff is very helpfull. I would stay again

Very good”

Pros: location is amazing just outside of Amsterdam city centre and so close to museums square and de pijp. Staff were helpful with some requests I had. Cons: TV in my room wasn't working and was told the TV signal for the hotel was off. Found out from another person staying that their TV was fine. Also the mattress in the single rooms was a thin mattress that kept sliding off the base. So I had to constantly push it back I place.

You won't find much better then this hotel”

I do not normally do reviews but this hotel needs a mention. This hotel is in a great location with easy access via trans, bikes, walking etc to most attractions. The rooms are a really good size and the whole feel of this hotel is extremely good. The staff we found were outstanding and I will be returning to this hotel again and if you pass this one by, you will regret it.

Very good”

It’s a small nice hotel in a quiet street that is centrally located and close to trams and buses. Rijksmuseum, Vondel Park and canal cruises are just walking distance. There are many restaurants and cafes nearby. There’s a bus stop at the corner where you can take your ride direct to the Schiphol airport. I love this hotel.
