Hotels near Museum Vrolik, Amsterdam

This is by far the worst hotel I have stayed in during the last years. It is completely run down, dirty and filthy and all this for 220 Euros per night. We have stayed here for a congress with a bigger group and same impression for everyone. The rooms are super dirty and not sure if and when they have been cleaned, see pictures attached. You don’t want to touch anything, because it has this filthy feeling. Stains everywhere and sometimes you just don’t want to know what it is. The „fancy“ design shower in the middle of the room is completely useless, no temperature control. To get warm water, you need to go for full power. Afterwards all the floor is wet, nice to have water in the room. The sink, same here, not practical and water everywhere. Matress way to soft, bed with all kind of stains again. Aircon is horrible as well, super noisy and for sure never cleaned. Of course you can’t have any fresh air in the room. Two small and slow elevators for 18floors cause a mess and delay every morning. Lady during Check-in was asking when we want to have breakfast, we told her 7:30 - thanks for not telling that on Saturdays they don’t open before 8. Service in the bar mediocre as well, for how long can you ignore someone? Not sure what is going wrong in this hotel, but do yourself a favour and stay somewhere else, many nicer hotels around, unless you really fancy the view to Burger King and Kentucky Fried. Of course noone at Check-out wanted to even know how our stay has been. For sure they know the answer!

Very well priced, two minute walk from metro station. From the airport to the hotel was one train and one metro,really easy. While dining options close by are limited , a short one metro stop and you are in the arena district with countless options. Very helpful staff, nice rooms, not spotless but have seen much worse. Also very easy to access old town, that metro that stops out front will take you there in 25 minutes. We liked it because it took us away from the crowds.

Bravo

Stayed at the amazing Via Amsterdam recently. First impressions were great a lady helped us massively before arrival answering all our queries in reservations and was very helpful with tips of places to visit and getting tickets etc even very helpful travel tips from the airport. We came to check in and loved the place it’s about a 10 minute walk from the local station could be done quicker once you know the route. The whole reception lay out is huge, lots of seating, games area, even it’s own cinema area. We had a very nice gentleman on check in called Bart who was lovely, he helped us with directions, booking breakfast and dining tips. We dined in the Bar called the dude and had a couple of drinks. Bar is quite expensive but nice vibe only fault we found was a very limited restaurant menu choice, we did eat the burgers (no other choice) and they are recommended but you don’t want to eat the same thing every night. Rooms are spacious but quite sp**** could do with a table and a couple of chairs to be fair so you can sit and chat. Very clean and comfy beds. Showers only and a bit small but offer free shampoo and shower gel, no towels so bring your own. Breakfast was a bit of a poor show and could do with improvements. For the amount you pay it’s not worth it. You could go into Amsterdam and buy something better for cheaper. We had seen online people complaining about not being central but honestly it’s no issue there is a metro within walking distance and takes you directly into Amsterdam central in about 15 minutes and run regularly. Overall had an fantastic stay and would highly recommend to anyone. You cannot fault the place. I did have a nightmare after checkout tho and was my only complaint as I was overcharged and tried for nearly a month to get a refund from the manager jonannes who wouldn’t speak to me because apparently he was too busy (not the best customer service from a manager) I tried calling and emailing but he just wouldn’t reply or sort the problem and other poor staff tried to make excuses for it not being sorted sooner, it was eventually sorted by someone else but after such a good stay it did leave me feeling slightly disappointed. Hopefully he has improved his customer service by now as this does not reflect on how good this place actually is.

The hotel facilities are newer and clean. There is a fridge and minibar in the room, as well as a safe. There is a gym and sauna provided by the hotel. The view from the window is very good. The location is relatively remote, five minutes walk to the 62 bus, 10 minutes to the metro station.

Perfect for sleeping and storing the luggage, which is exactly what we needed! Nice and helpful staff. The atmosphere was cozy and the place felt clean. Slight downside is how warm the room got in the night. We also got the absolutely smallest room which was fine with us but beware it’s cramped. But I’m definitely staying here next time I’m in Amsterdam.

Definitely one of the coolest hostel I’ve been. Super cool stuff,easy and fast check in and out , great facilities,bar ,coffee shop , hall area super chill atmosphere. I am very satisfied with my stay in this hostel and with reception staff. Location is perfect too . I had lovely stay and will definitely come again and recommend it to everyone. Only one thing is not good ,check in is at 4pm and check out is at 10am 😭 that’s kinda annoying 🤷♀️ but all other things are just great 🤩🤍

was impressed by the rich history and craftsmanship. The tour highlighted Mr. Freddy's pivotal role in shaping Heineken into an iconic brand. The detailed process—from barley storage to yeast addition and achieving that perfect golden hue—was captivating. The interactive quizzes along the way added a fun element, with chances to win small prizes. Knowledgeable guides enriched the experience, providing insights into the company's evolution and global reach. The display of original beer-making vessels showcased the authenticity

We loved our stay at Zaan Hotel. Fantastic location. It is just opposite to the train station, from where you can access trains to the airport, Amsterdam and various other destinations. The train to Amsterdam is only about 12 minutes ride. The train to the airport is only 3 stops away and about 18 mins ride. There is a fairly large supermarket opposite the hotel. It being in the heart of Zaandam, has several cafes, restaurants and beautiful shops as well as high street stores extremely nearby. We had a great time walking around the shopping street and also got to enjoy local Dutch food at the cafes. The hotel location is EXCELLENT in one word. Fairytale place is how we would describe Zaandam. We were very happy with the service at the hotel too. Our comfort family room was spacious. The fridge in the room is very useful. Our rooms were cleaned everyday and toiletries replenished. The staff were very helpful. All areas of the hotel are very well maintained, clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast was lovely too and so was the dinner. We would strongly recommend this hotel to everyone planning a trip in the Netherlands.
