Perfect stay

Great little hotel right in the centre of Amsterdam. Our room was on the top floor, and yes the stairs are extremely tight but this is typical of all old dutch buildings. We were in room 18 which has just been refurbished and the place was immaculate. Staff were all really friendly and helpful. 5 minute stroll from the train station so really accessible. We would definately stay here again withiut any hesitation.

Amazingly quiet, great location by Centraal Statuo

Amazingly quiet given the location. Much nicer than the “fashion” hotel a few doors down which was loud. Steps from Centraal Station but somehow as quiet as the country.

Stayed in a deluxe room. Very modern room and extremely clean. We were located on the top floor and the stairs are very steep. Not an issues for us but could be problematic for those with mobility issues. Staff very friendly and conveniently located less than 10 mins from central station and dam square. Would recommend and stop here again

Great central location and handy to the central railway station. Loved that we could walk out onto the busy street area with plenty of eateries and shops. Staff were very helpful, English wasn’t a problem. Just be prepared with strong arms to lug your suitcases up the stairs. 😊 The small room we chose worked well for us. Overall a great place to stay.

Great location, great staff, unfortunately rather tired & dated and in need of renovation & no tea/coffee making facilities which in the 21st century is a must. Also I know the Dutch are tall, but not everyone is 6ft+ tall… the bathroom mirror was so high I could only see the top of my head, so no use for applying make-up.

The Hotel van Gelder was one of my favorite hotels during my two week stay in Europe. My superior single room had air conditioning, unlike my other more expensive rooms in Austria, Germany, and Croatia. When I checked in I was greeted by Khalid, a very friendly person who had lots of information about local eateries and places to visit. The room was nice and clean and looks like it was recently remodeled. Some people probably didn't like the steps, but I stayed on the third floor and I didn't mind. If I ever get back to Amsterdam and am traveling alone, I would definitely stay here again.

Nice, reasonable, clean, convenient hotel - STAIRS

Probably a typical Amsterdam "small" hotel in a former 5-6 story narrow, large house. Thus, be prepared for LOTS of stairs (no elevator) -- 2 flights just to reach the reception desk. Then 2 more curved narrow flights to floor 4 or 2 more to floor 6.Office can sell drinks and snacks for a small fee. I booked a single room which was adequate and clean, with a portable fan, small desk, and TV. A concern is the VERY slippery shower floor which hnearly caused me to slip each time. I had to hold on to the bar on the wall for my entire shower. The bathroom mirror was mounted for a 6 ft, 7 inch man, not a 5 ft, 5 inch female. Staff were friendly and helpful. Central Train Station was 2 blocks away and several Canal Tours began across the street. Lots of food businesses everywhere in closest 3 blocks, including a grocery market near this hotel.

Awesome property in the city center. Great AC and shower. Clean and comfortable. Lost a star because even though i had the Do Not Disturb option on the door, the cleaning lady decided it was her job to bang on my door at 10 am to make sure i knew checkout was at 11 am. my alarm was set fir 10:45 and everything was packed for a long trip that i needed the extra sleep fir.

Enjoyed our stay.

We are an older couple. We chose this hotel because of its character. The staff were very good about bringing our luggage up to our room. Up 58 stairs, the last 30 were winding stairs. The rooms were very clean. The staff very helpful and friendly. Very close to the canal cruises and central rail station.

As others have mentioned, this hotel had the basics and was fine for us for what we needed for the night. The hotel staff were very nice and helpful. Great location in city center. We had the quadruple room, so 4 twin beds and a basic bathroom. There was no ac in our particular room, so we had to choose between opening the windows for a cooler room (which meant listening to the noise of the streets below for most of the night), or having the windows closed and being too warm. We wouldn’t have slept great either way. It was fine for one night, but I don’t think I’d want that for an extended stay.
