This is a restored building in the south Museum district of Amsterdam, about 20 mins by tram from Central Station and 10 mins from Zuid Station. The rooms are well decorated with lovely taupe, brown and red colors...very tastfully done. The bathroom is smallish (Europe!) but the tub was very nice, as was all the hardware. The overall vibe of... More

Excellent location close to the museum quarter and away from the touristy Centrum. The hotel strikes vistors from the outset with clean crisp lines and considered modern interior fittings on top of the period brickwork. Attentive service from the start, but for the missed room service order of Earl Grey tea one evening (they provided it on second request, complimentary... More

Stayed here after a dinner at same hotel. Restaurant is ok but a bit overpriced for the service you get. The location and decoration are well done and create a unique atmosphere. Rooms are very charming and cosy with high ceilings and spacious interior. The bathroom looks different than a normal hotel room and gives a special taste to your... More

Pros: Fantastic venue and location Cons: significantly overseasoned, poor show of skill, rubbery meat, below average food dressed up to try and appeal Wilko Hoogendoorn's restaurant in The College Hotel begins its journey well: the setting within this wonderful hotel is an appealing prospect. That is until the food arrives. I had high expectations, but was beyond let down. I've... More

"Special", "unique" are words I would use to describe the atmosphere at this hotel. When you penetrate into the building through the large and elegant main door, it's a big wow feeling! At the reception and in the hallway, colors are dark and atmosphere is very cosy. I would say staff is also a bit different than in regular hotels...maybe... More

Do not be put off by students running the hotel - they do a good job - maybe not quite as polished as a Hilton, but plenty of passion. I reduced my stay half way through and they only charged me an extra night - so pretty fair I thought. Rooms are small but very well appointed, comfortable and quiet.... More

Early October 2011, I had booked a room with College Hotel with a tariff of 250 Euros/night. A week before the day of arrival, I had to cancel the trip due to an unexpected issue and subsequently called the hotel to cancel the booking over the phone. According to the cancellation policy of the hotel, there was not to be... More

Was a little dubious of booking this hotel after reading reviews regarding the service due it being run by students however was most definately impressed. The hotel itself is exceptionally good looking being a converted school/monastry. The rooms are dark and romantic and the communal areas including the outside area are well thought out. The staff, although a little slow... More

I booked this trip as a surprise for my boyfriend's birthday. I contacted the hotel in advance with queries which they helped with promptly and informatively. I spoke with a lady called Louise who was totally lovely and organised a couple of little surprises of her own for our trip. We were upgraded, not only to the luxury room but... More
