Highs & Lows
-
The surprises in the ‘special’ rooms: ‘oh a bath, and look, a projector and cinema screen!’
-
Though Amsterdam isn’t known for its skyline, the roof terrace is a major sunspot and offers great views.
-
Working from your laptop in the shared workspaces, and the creative yet unpretentious vibe that surrounds the lobby in the day.
-
Finishing touches to the rooms were a little rough around the edges when I visited, but as they were still under construction at the time, all is forgiven.
-
It would be a major help if you could borrow bikes from the hotel, as most rentals you have to return them by 7, and then you’ll inevitably need to get a taxi back at night.
-
Bottles of water in the hotel rooms – gratis of course.
Important Bits
-
Type
Creative work, sleep and play space.
-
Vibe
Industrial yet cheeky, millennial yet mindful.
-
Location
Just outside Amsterdam’s old town towards the East of the city where the vibe feels closer to Berlin but with even more bikes and of course, canals.
-
Rooms
172
-
Music
Bouncy background tunes in the lobby by day, FKA Twigs and The Brothers Johnson upstairs – all in all, pretty chilled. The presence of turntables hints this isn’t always the case.
-
Year Opened
2014
-
Designed By
Urban Resort.
-
Health & Wellness
A sauna and three hot tubs on the 8th floor.
-
Restaurant
Yes, a great brunch spot in the lobby and the buzzy restaurant, bar and sunny rooftop lounge, Canvas.
-
Bar
The 7th floor Canvas restaurant segues into bar mode after midnight.
-
Minibar
A couple of small bottles of wine, beers and sodas. However, no spirits or water.
-
Children
If you’re the type of person that likes staying in a place like the Volkshotel, most likely your kids will be too.
-
Price
Very affordable – it could give the backpacker hotels in the city centre a run for their money.
