Apartments, complete with kitchenettes, are perfect for small groups & families. A convenient and well-priced base in the city centre.”

Hotel review

V hotel offers a two sided hotel concept: value for money and ‘from Amsterdam with love’. The staff here are passionate about their city and with the help of a map, encourage exploration of the less touristy, more genuine side of Amsterdam; bikes can be borrowed from the hotel so you can travel like a local. The 48 rooms are generally small, with compact bathrooms; the beds, however, by Auping feature organic, eco duvets which ups the comfort rating. After a good day’s exploring, relax by the fire in the open plan bar-lounge with its soulful and funky background music; surf the internet on the two Apple Macs; or catch some tips from the reception staff about nearby nightlife.

Hotel V Frederiksplein

Personally styled by the owner, this hotel dances way beyond its official three-star ranking. It’s on the junction of two busy streets, but handy for sights and transport. Individually designed rooms and loft-apartments come in a wide range of sizes, and staff are friendly and exceptionally Amsterdam-savvy.
