Volkshotel Amsterdam

"Volkshotel was an interesting experience. The hotel is very eccentric and artsy—especially the lobby, which is always bustling with people. However, the actual rooms could use more attention when it comes to cleanliness. The toilet lid in my room was dirty upon arrival. In both my loft and my mom’s regular room, the toilet and shower were in separate spaces. In the loft suite specifically, the toilet is on one floor while the shower is on the floor above, which isn’t the most convenient setup. Another thing to note: if you sleep in and wake up after 11 AM, your room won’t be cleaned until the following day. This wasn’t mentioned at check-in, and the front desk staff wouldn’t make any exceptions—they were a bit rude about it, too. Breakfast is not included, and while they do offer a buffet for €16 per person, it’s definitely not worth it. You’re better off grabbing coffee and pastries from the shops nearby. Also, the basement club they have called Doka has terrible reviews about bouncers and security being physically aggressive to guests (including women). Because of all the heinous reviews, we were too nervous to even check it out. So proceed with caution!! Overall, I appreciated the creativity and artistic vibe of the hotel, but there are definitely some areas that need improvement."

"Volkshotel was an amazing value stay. Great vibe from the bustling lobby, coworking space and cafe. We booked the smallest private room and were surprised by the size - more than spacious for a couple. We wished there were more than two pillows and the bed was pretty stiff/uncomfortable. So the actual sleeping situation was not great, but the room was otherwise what we wanted. Hot tubs on the roof were a nice touch, although a little stressful in terms of getting to use them - kind of wish there was a reservation system given they really only accommodate one group at a time and there are only four of them. Would stay here again! Staff was always helpful and accommodating with universal plug adaptors, etc."

"This hotel was a perfect base for Amsterdam short break. Clean and well resourced. We stayed in a double standard room with private bathroom. Decor was modern and functional, no extra seating or curtains in the room - electric blinds - which were perfect. The ground floor was buzzing with the cafe and workspace. Chilled rooftop hot tub with amazing views. Right next to the metro with little to no waiting for the next train. Quick transfer from airport on public transport (approx 20 min). Hired bikes which were easily cycled from the hotel to the centre. Excellent. All staff kind, pleasant and individual. Refreshing!"
