Hotel van de Vijsel

The facilities in the bedroom were good and clean. We were also happy with the breakfast and friendly staff. The location was perfect and my partner and I had a nice time exploring nearby Kinkerstraat and walking through the Vondel Park.

Absolutely loved our stay! Felt very safe, thanks in part also to a lovely welcome from your reception staff. Room was exceptionally clean, bed very comfortable, and extremely quiet. Blackout curtains blocked out almost all light! (Although there is the usual "red TV light - if that bothers you, you will know what this is..!) We therefore slept great!! A few small tips to make the stay amazing, and I think you could add a much higher price (maybe this is beyond your target market of course). Firstly, 2 pillows per person is a luxury, but I think a lot of people like to sleep on two (me included). Also think about the customer experience when living in the room more generally. For instance, there wasn't really anywhere to put things in the bathroom. For two people, each with a washbag, toothbrushes, makeup.. this having somewhere to put stuff, is a must. A simple shelf on the wall would solve this. Also, it's nice to have a spare toilet roll, but it gets wet, because it's located down near the floor, next to the sink. And then in the bedroom.. two people = also two people, who need to put stuff in places. There was a big part of the room in effect wasted - a nice large area near a window, that could have housed a second chair. Here the 2nd person can put things (like clothes they take off at night), without having to share a small chair. And on that note, in the other spare corner, you could have had a lamp, which would have added extra style, and more light. And finally, somewhere to put your shoes has a double effect. It's nice to have as it is organised and tidy, but it also encourages people to take off their shoes, which ultimately helps to save your carpets, and cleaning costs. And finally breakfast. I think that hotels that provide a breakfast, should provide it in the price, but I get why there is a separate charge, for instance if the room for breakfast is too small etc.

Welcoming. Clean, comfy & quiet. Excellent location for our needs & especially museums. Good public transport, although the city is very walkable. Many restaurants in the locality.

Rooms were lovely, cosy. Maybe a bit small but that added to the cost. Lovely design which worked through the whole hotel and rooms. Friendly staff. Marshall speaker and underfloor heating in bathroom were nice touches. Lovely big and powerful shower.

+ awesome location + beautiful interior design + comfortable bed + great A/C system + big grocery shop right after the hotel building
