Van der Valk Hotel Amsterdam - Amstel

An Unforgettable Birthday Stay at Van der Valk Amstel! From the moment we arrived at Hotel Van der Valk Amstel, everything felt like luxury wrapped in hospitality. We landed in Amsterdam early at 8 AM and were warmly welcomed by the front desk, who allowed us to store our luggage and even offered us an early check-in at 12 PM at no extra charge. That alone set the tone for the incredible service we experienced throughout our stay. Now let’s talk aesthetics—this hotel is absolutely stunning. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with sleek, modern decor, cozy ambiance, and floor-to-ceiling details that scream elevated comfort. It’s the perfect balance between elegant and inviting. To top it off, I was celebrating my birthday—and let me just say, they showed out! We were upgraded to a luxurious room on the 14th floor, complete with a jaw-dropping view of Amsterdam, a spacious shower, and a jet tub that felt like my own private spa. The room was beautifully decorated for the occasion and came with a complimentary bottle of wine—such a thoughtful touch that made me feel truly celebrated. The bed? Like sleeping on a cloud. The shower? Spa-level vibes with all the space you could want. The hotel has everything you need on-site: a gorgeous restaurant, a lively bar, and a cozy café bar where you can grab a drink or snack any time—super convenient, especially after a day of exploring the city. And speaking of exploring, the location is about 15 minutes from the heart of Amsterdam, which we actually loved. It gave us a peaceful, quiet space to return to each night—away from the city buzz but still close enough to access it with ease. The staff was kind, professional, and truly went above and beyond to make our stay feel special. Every little detail—from the early check-in to the birthday surprises—was handled with care and intention. If you’re thinking about staying here—do it.

Lovely hotel, very well located train station was 5 minute walk and had access to city centre as well as other areas. Rooms are great, the view was very nice from our room, house keeping was done everyday and rooms were kept clean. The breakfast was AMAZING a lot of options. We also used the spa and it was clean and well-kept. Staff are very helpful and was available 24.7. Will definitely re-visit.

Very clean. Helpful employees on the reception. Close to the Tram station. Quite place.

A fabulous hotel with such beautiful decor, facilities and attention to detail. There was everything we needed in the room including a fridge, drink making facilities and glasses. The spa was stunning we used it every day throughout our stay. It’s not huge but all the facilities are great and it’s clean. The outdoor pool is lovely and refreshing, the sauna and steam room were lovely and all well maintained. You can hire a robe and slippers at reception for €5 which was good. The location was perfect you can see the metro station from the hotel and it’s not too far from the centre of Amsterdam about 20 mins, it was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle. Also there’s 24 hour pizza available and it was delicious! You can also hire bikes from the hotel which we did one day and had a ride into the centre of Amsterdam which was a good experience.

As soon as you enter the hotel it smells delightful. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful thoughtful through the stay. The restaurant has such a wonderful cozy, cool vibe and the food was delicious! I had the cheese stick, loaded fries with onions rings and cheese burger. Anything I try never disappointed at all especially the drinks. I love and appreciate being place on the 3rd floor with the amenities: spa, pool, handicap and the space in the most gorgeous decorated room I ever been in
