The hotel is nicely located in a quiet side street off Overtoom, close to tram stops and Vondelpark, and walkable to the city centre - this is the upside. Our room was in an annexe, and was very tired and dingy. I accept the hotel is intended to be characterful and quirky, however our room was simply in need of... more

This was my first stay in Amsterdam since my whippersnapper days when i would have slept anywhere. Now i,m looking for comfort, good service and value for money. The Hotel de Filosoof fits all these categories and i would recommend it unrservedly more

Second time staying here and no particular criticisms of hotel other than expensive - ended up more than we'd expected - maybe down to us. The location is excellent - minutes from the Vondelpark and tram to Central Station a few meters away. On second occasion we were in the annex. OK but we didn't know til we got there.... more

We spent a long time looking for a hotel in Amsterdam. We finally settled on The Hotel de Filosoof. It was a great decision to have made, and a real relief when we arrived, since even the good hotels have their fair share of bad reviews. We contacted the hotel directly, who matched the internet agent's price, and where very... more

Made booking with online internet travel group reservation site. Arrived at Filosoof hotel, but then I realised I made wrong booking October 12-14, instead of September 12-14. The Hotel was unfortunately full, and so were a lot of hotels in Amserdam, because of the a big number of visitors attending the IBC conference. The Hotel manager was very helpful to... more

My Girlfriend and I went for a long weekend in Amsterdam and the Hotel de Filosoof turned out to be a lovely hotel in a decent location. My girlfriend is Dutch so managed to get a special deal from a dutch website, which meant we got a room upgrade and breakfast for only 20 euros extra each. With breakfast at... more

The Hotel de Filosoof and I got off to a bad start weeks before I arrived. I was informed via email that my credit card information (which had been printed out erroneously and left unattended presumably) had been snatched by opportunistic bandits from the reception slash bar area. For the inconvenience of having to cancel my card 'Jaime' offered me... more

We stayed early spring for a 5 day minibreak in hotel the philosopher, and we fell in love. first we had a very warm welcome at the receptionists desk, they were very helpfull with giving us information and help carry up our luggage (the staircase is quite steep). we stayed in one of the wonderfull suites (115), which was decorated... more

We had great expectations about the hotel after seeing the pictures on their website. When we arrived the reception was not friendly or welcoming at all. We found we got a room across the street, that was a disapointment. After climbing 3 stairs we found we had an enormous room, not too clean. The bathroom was big as well but... more
