Management was extremely disrespectful. We checked in having three people not knowing only two was allowed because the booking site just said there would be an extra fee for another person. We brought the third person into our room to figure out where he would stay and they told us that he had to leave in 15 minutes. When he left they said he must bring down his luggage to hold. We told them that we were sharing luggage since we were just in France for 2 weeks. The manager told us no and we had to have at least one luggage downstairs. I talked to Expedia to see if the could put us somewhere else but it was to late for a refund and the insurance policy didn’t cover the situation so please be aware of the insurance you buy with them. After I talked to Expedia the situation escalated. I asked if we weren’t allowed to have visitors and they said we could from 8am-5pm, but our friend was kicked out at 3pm with no choice to leave or not. They said if he was there not within visiting hours we would have a $340 fee and be kicked out instantly. When we got back at night on the first night we got locked out of our room and when we asked the guy receptionist he said it doesn’t happen often. The second morning we had someone come into our room while we were sleeping at 7am where we could only assume he was checking for a third person. We are extremely disappointed with the service and felt very uncomfortable the whole stay. We are people of color and young and felt very targeted.

Would not stay again

Arrived late after a long day of travel. Friendly greeting on arrival. Hotel is a rabbit warren of hallways and rooms. Couldn’t find our room, back to front desk for assistance. Up steep wooden stairs with large cases. Room was small, dark, smelt weird and was rustic and VERY worn and tired. Safe in room was not attached to anything so not so safe!! Door to outside walkway fell off when opened. Carpet was old and very stained. Pros: bed clean and comfortable and bathroom clean and modern. Very central and easy to access city. Management offered to change rooms but as we were only in Amsterdam for 2 nights and 1 day we declined as we wanted to see the city not hang about the hotel getting things sorted. Hotel needs a facelift to earn 4 stars. Would not recommend to anyone.

I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Van de Vijsel. Everything was spotless, and the staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful, which made me feel welcome right away. My favorite part was honestly the location — it couldn’t be more convenient. I loved being able to walk to most of the city center and explore without needing transportation. It made my trip so much easier and more enjoyable. Overall, a wonderful place to stay and one I’d happily return to.

After a long travel day from the states the shower felt great! The bed was comfortable, albeit in an upstairs loft, which we were not aware of when booking. So if stairs are an issue for you just know that’s a problem.

Located on the perimeter of the city and walkable (~30 miniutes) to the Amsterdam Central station. 2 min walk from the nearest tram station. Rooms are well-designed, furniture is slightly under-equipped (narrow desk and chair cannot comfortably fit in the space between the desk and the bed) but has the basic things you need. Kettle lid was broken and some visible wear and tear in the room, but was very clean.

Really enjoyed our three night stay at Hotel van de Vijsel. It's very convenient located close to the Vondrelpark, the Museumplein and the Leidseplein. The hotel is quiet with an excellent air conditioning system and comfortable bed. It was our wedding anniversary, so I ordered there special package of bubbly, chocolates, balloons and petals. My wife loved the surprise and the bubbly was a gorgeous Spanish Cava and the chocs were delicious. Well done Hotel van de Vijsel!
