Catalonia Hotel Vondel Amsterdam (ex Vondel Hotel)

Had a great stay at this hotel, the staff are very friendly and helpful and the rooms are clean and tidy. The location is great, with most attractions in Amsterdam within a short waking distance which is perfect if you’re sightseeing. We stayed in a large double room which was very spacious with a large TV and the beds/pillows were very comfortable. The only issue was that there was not enough storage space for clothes and we therefore had to keep some in our suitcase. The value for money is excellent and if we visit Amsterdam again we will definitely be coming back here!

I really liked this hotel to start with, the rooms were comfortable and the staff were friendly. Unfortunately though, the noise from other rooms spoil the experience. We were woken up by noise from an upstairs room. All they were doing was walking around, but as the ceiling was so thin the noise was magnified. I think if they carpeted the rooms it would help and would eliminate some of the noise.

My stay at the Catalonia Vondel Amsterdam was an overall pleasant one. Our party was 4 total, and we split into 2 rooms of 2. I was fortunate to get a large room on the ground floor, with abundant space for our suitcases and a luxurious bathroom. However, I got lucky - the other 2 in our party were placed in a much smaller, somewhat cramped room on an upper floor. While the rooms themselves were lovely and clean, the hotel itself was undergoing some renovations during our stay, making navigating the hallways difficult. It also meant the restaurant just to the left of the lobby was closed off, and we also were not permitted to enter the garden/courtyard behind the hotel. Other than that, the hotel is in a perfect location, just steps away from lots of restaurants, bars & museums, and the breakfast was delicious and had lots of offerings. Since I'm sure the renovation issues have been resolved by now, I definitely do recommend a stay here.
