The night staff at the check in reception is absolutely fantastic friendly, they did everything to provide a comfortable space for the customers. Definitely recommended.
Great location for visiting the popular sights. The room was quite clean but ridiculously HOT. Even turning off the heat, it was uncomfortable. The wifi was intermittent. The breakfast was very good and the staff was super helpful..

Room was clean and position is perfect in the heart of Amsterdam, very safe.
Great hotel, especially for the price. Staff is very friendly, bed is extremely comfortable for a hotel, and clean. Highly recommend the breakfast which was convenient and delicious.
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!
