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.

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.

Excellent experience at Hotel van Gelder
The location of the hotel is perfect, just a few meters away from the central station. Additionally, the staff was very kind, solved all my questions and the room was very clean. Price-quality was amazing and would love to stay there again because of the service.

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.

The staff was extremely helpful and very pleasant. Location was easy to get to from the airport and convenient to many places we wanted to visit. The stairs to our 2nd floor room was daunting but very picturesque.

The location was unbeatable, walking distance to most everything and to the train, which took us to the central station from the airport in minutes. Clean and comfortable place with helpful and friendly staff. FYI, there is a laundromat around the corner and ample coffee places for breakfast. planning on coming again.

Helpful friendly staff. Centrally located.
Basic rooms, but clean. Stairs only! If you have any type of mobility issues, this isn’t for you.
Would recommend for a relatively well priced room.
