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.

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.

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.

This hotel boasts a fantastic location, just a short stroll from Centraal Station, making it incredibly convenient for exploring Amsterdam's attractions. Nestled in the heart of the city, it offers easy access to numerous sights and experiences. The staff were exceptional, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout my stay. My room was peaceful and comfortable. While the bed could have been a bit softer, that’s just a matter of personal preference. Overall, I would definitely return and stay here again.
