Hotel V Frederiksplein

Overall a lovely hotel, decor in rooms tired and needs some love - new wallpaper etc. lots of cobwebs so marked down for cleanliness but sheets etc clean.

The lobby is lovely, slightly misleading. Rooms are slightly dated now, dusty, window didn't lock properly so the blind slammed/ be aware if you face the street its noisy at night- asked to move and they couldn't move us. For the price it's not worth it. Be prepared to lug luggage up four flights of stairs/ lift doesn't work and even if it did it fits one person- claustraphobically small. Good location though- that's the only perk.

L’albergo in sé non è male. La colazione è buona, il personale cordiale, ma pessime le stanze economy, piccole, anguste. Nessun posto per le valige,nessun ripiano per gli oggetti personali. A stento riesci a passare da una sponda all’altra del letto. Ed inoltre non sono state neanche accontentate le nostre richieste, tipo quelle del cambio lenzuola visto che erano macchiate, e la sostituzione del phon che non funziona bene. Sicuramente un tre stelle senza lode. Inoltre la pulizia pessima, troppa polvere, esagerata.

Good hotel room, booked double bed but it was just 2 single beds pushed together so wasn’t the best sleep. You can hear every single thing outside and in the corridors so keep that in mind too

The room was clean and the staff were friendly. The room was soooo dark that’s my only issue x

Had to ask to move rooms as the first one had a leaking radiator. Reception did so in a manner that suggested it was our fault. The pictures on .com draw you in, but they suggest the hotel is nice than it is. I'd say massively overpriced and the quality of some elemnts - for example, the carpets in the common areas - is more a hostel standard. Lift is tiny and very poor if you have lots of luggage. I'd definitely return to Amsterdam, but not Hotel V.

Very nice hotel beds super comfortable. Heating was great as could be controlled in each room. Room was clean and they left popcorn tea and coffee

Een leuke kamer, met prima voorzieningen. Er lag eel wat stof op de meubels en het behang is aan vervanging toe

Great location, comfy bed and friendly staff

The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was basic but as described. The lobby and bar/restaurant area was nicely decorated, if a little rough around the edges. Unfortunately the lift was out of order on arrival, so we had to climb the very steep stairs with our cases. (The lift was repaired the following day.) Sadly, the rooms really let this hotel down. I've read plenty of negative reviews about the dungeon-like basement rooms but we booked a standard double, so had hoped for better. Our room was small and oddly shaped, the lighting is poor and in particular needs a light near the wardrobe and mirror. The room was clean but unfortunately it was very cold on arrival. This is mainly due to the poor condition of the windows, which are incredibly draughty. We used bathroom towels to block the worst draughts. The bed was reasonably comfortable but there was a dip in the middle which I kept rolling into. The pillows were huge, and plump - which I appreciated. There were two reading lights attached to the head board but neither worked. The safe also didn't work due to a low battery. There was a kettle and capsule coffee maker but unfortunately no cups or mugs provided. The toilet/shower room seems like it has been decorated more recently, so looks fine. However, there is only half a shower screen so it is impossible not to flood the rest of the bathroom when showering. Also, it could do with more shelving for guests to put their toiletries on.

Icecold room which was not ideal w a 4 months old baby. Heater didnt heat during night. Room sprayer w perfume , again not ideal w a baby. Room way smaller than displayed on hotels. Coffemachine and lamp couldnt reach the sockets. Leaking sink in bathroom. Very dusty and still dusty after requested cleaning of the room. Very unhelpful guy in the reception who didnt do much to help. Wouldnt recommend. Called hotels they didnt help with anything. After this stay our 4 months old was ill for 2 weeks.

To much walking

All good

The room was spotless, but you literally can see the people walking and gym across the window, the room is ground level you might hear people walking and talking right outside. However everything else is great. Nearby tram and Albert Cuyp market, and De Pijp! Fun location.

Un service courtois et réceptif. Nous avions un soucis avec la chambre et la réception a réagi rapidement.

Hôtel bien situé, le personnel est agréable, la déco est top. Très bon rapport qualité prix.

the staff was great and the location was amazing. our room had an odor that came from the bathroom. i hesitated to mention it hoping it would go away but it persisted. i think it’s one of the sewage drains, it smelled like rotting mold or dirty sewage in the bathroom which made it difficult to use it as often as was needed. we made due with what we had and appreciated the customer service. I wish the room was vacuumed. a lot of dust accumulated under the bed.

The room did feel neglected: the blinds didn’t work, the layout was awkward and there were noises coming from the radiator. The staff were friendly and amenable, but for our two nights whilst we were there, the hot water wasn’t working meaning that we had to take cold showers. There wasn’t any prior warning about this, and it was only after enough people mentioned it at the reception that this was then communicated to the guests. After the water had been fixed the first time, the hot water broke a second time. We were promised some compensation for this, but we weren’t able to get cash because we booked via Expedia. The reception said they’d give us compensation through the app, but we haven’t received anything yet.

Huone oli kylmä ja likainen. Ilmeisesti yläkerran huoneita ei kukaan kehtaa siivota kunnolla, kun ei sinne meinaa päästä ilman kiipeilytaustaa. Ylihintainen.

The employee who checked us in not very knowledgeable and he did not seem very engaged, e.g. he suggested to move our room so we could use the lift as we had a young baby. Immediately after the change was made he told us our pram wouldnt fit in the lift and we probably needed to leave it downstairs. We were originally in a first floor room and would now be in a second floor room. This seemed like an complete waste of time and the room we ended up in did not feel like the advertised 16sqm (probably because of the weird shape to the room). We also dis not feel comfortable to use the advertised parking as the employee couldn't tell us anything about where our car would be taken. Overall, this hotel is only a step up from a hostel and that is the 'vibe' you get when you arrive. I wouldn't choose to stay here again as a family.
