As a solo traveler, I love to stay here. It’s very centrally located and the rooms are comfortable. I usually only stay a couple days in Amsterdam so the Hotel Van Gelder is a great choice. If you want a simple stay and don’t need a lot then I highly recommend staying here. Good prices and nice staff.

Good location, clean hotel.
The hotel is conveniently located. Our room which was on the top floor was very clean, comfortable, equipped with air conditioner. Bathroom was modern and clean. No breakfast but they gave 10% coupons to nearby restaurants. The only downside are the stairs which are too steep and look kind of dangerous and we were not looking forward to going up and down. But I wouldnt fault this to the hotel.

Nice place, great location
Great place, friendly staff, great location. The stairs are a trek, but it gets the exercise covered. Close to central station.
I'd be a bit concerned about how hot it can be in the summer, but I'd definitely consider it.

Good for the money. Very central. I didn't have high hopes at first, but once settled in was more than happy. Room was basic, but fresh, reasonably comfortable and cleaned out everyday. Staff were helpful. Shower and toilet worked. I've stayed in enough budget hotels to know one that is well run when I see it. This is a very well managed operation and although a bit of a maze is a good option for a single person or those on a budget looking to enjoy Amsterdam for a few days and given the proximity to the central station anywhere in the Netherlands.

Great central location
Hotel was very close to Amsterdam Central Station and very convenient for the city centre.
Rooms recently updated, very comfortable and clean with good facilities.
Only word of caution is the property has very steep narrow stairs so if you have any mobility issues request the lowest floor.

The location was great!! Five minute walk from Central Station. There are a lot of stairs which is difficult to navigate with luggage but we knew that before we booked. Lobby etc. is old and tired and room was small but very clean. Anywhere else I’d say this room was overpriced but Amsterdam is very expensive and because the location was so wonderful we felt it was a very good choice for us.

EXCELLENT location if you come in by train. Short walk from station, and right on the main tram line. Amazingly quiet given that it is on the main street coming from the RR station. Very comfy bed. Able to store luggage before check-in and after check-out.

The room was conveniently located a few minutes from Centraal Station. The difficult thing we experienced was lugging up our luggage several flights of stairs. Staff were kind and allowed us an early check in. There are lots of shops and restaurants in the area. Don’t get up too early and walk around as I encounter some scroungy looking people.

It's a nice hotel with helpful and friendly staff. Close to Amsterdam Centraal station and lots of cool shops nearby. Only downside is it's not wheelchair accessible.
