My partner and I stayed at this hotel in august 2011. We were very surprised with the location of the hotel as it was 5 mins walk from the main train station and in the heart of the city! It was also close enough for us to visit some of the main attractions without any headaches. Room was clean and... More

The hotel is located right in the heart of the action on the Damrak and a very short walk from the Red Light District. The neighborhood is loud but that is to be expected. One thing North Americans might find a little weird is that you leave your key at the hotel when you leave your room. The staff were... More

This hotel is basic and clean. The staff are helpful and efficient. A tip is to bring ear plugs because music and loud speech occurs outside all night. There is smoking at this hotel More

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was an excellent location. Our room wasn't nothing special but it was big enough and the en-suite was also a good size. I think Room 10 is probably the best room in hotel as it has 3 windows looking out over the hustle and bustle of street where trams run up and... More

Hotel is situated right in the hustle and bustle. Food and entertainment all around! I was at the SIbos event during the week and was staying at a premium hotel before switching to accommodate my own pocket. And you do pay for what you get! I shouldve booked earlier! Now, if you have large bags you may have to negotiate... More

The hotel we had stayed in until that time tripled the prices over night as a result of the high demand for rooms in that period of time, with everyone stuck on the ground for what... More

We have just returned from 3 days in Amsterdam. We hadn't booked any hotels and found the Van Gelder after a lot of walking about!! I was able to check the room first before taking it. Value for money, the room was no.26 which faced onto a shopping road at the back of the hotel. The staff were friendly. The... More
