Very pleasant and helpful staff. Hotel close to many spots we wanted to see. Long flight of stairs to get your bag up and down at check in-out time. Staff offered to help.

Super friendly receptionist made me feel right at home, offered me an early check-in plus a room upgrade - really unexpected but such a kind gesture. Super clean room, decent Nespresso coffee machine in the room, great shower - and most importantly - a great location.

Not quite last minute but booking during peak season. Didn’t have a ton of choices traveling with a party of three adults. Picked two double rooms at the Hotel Van Gelder. Rooms were clean and had good amenities. The staff was outstanding. The hotel is in the CBD so it’s right in the heart of the city. No lift so pack light. It’s not like a big corporate chain hotel but that was ok with me. I’d highly recommend if you can get by with no lift

The hotel is in a great location and clean. The staff was friendly and had a very easy check in process. It’s in a busy/central area so some outside noise as expected. In general a great stay for the value.

The rooms are newly renovated and it’s great. The staff are very friendly and delightful. The location is the best location. The only issue is the stairs and that’s pretty standard in Amsterdam I guess.

Staff was super. Room was very small but clean with comfortable beds. So close to the train station was a bonus. Stairway to our room was very steep.
