Aadam Hotel Wilhelmina

Lovely hotel. Decorated to a high standard, lots of character. It's in a quiet residential pretty street. Vondelpark is five minutes walk, so lovely. The streets are lined with trees. The rooms are plenty big enough, we had a table and chairs at the window to watch the world go by. Excellent soundproofing. They only provide paper cups with the tea and coffee facilities, which isn't eco friendly, need ceramic mugs, maybe biscuits and bottled water would be good. Bathroom is well stocked with toiletries. Breakfast is a little disappointing, not much for the price, not many options and you are only served espresso. Hotel is close to restaurants, supermarket, wine shop, chocolate shop and tram stop, very convenient. Vondelpark has a few cafe's to choose from, as well. We would stay again.

Really nice place, good location and friendly staf. I felt safe as a solo traveller, and room was tidy, quiet and clean. One minus from the stairs: there is no elevator and it’s hard to curry big heavy bags up to 3th or 4th floor because the staircase was really small and steep.

Very nice area with direct tramway to the center. Very friendly stuff but very strange to have to pay the city yax in cash while accepting card for the rest. The room was ok but hard to access as there are very narrow staircases Thin walls

Good value for money in a peaceful, lovely area near the Vondelpark & about 15 mins lovely walk to Rijksmuseum but with the option of a tram stop outside. The bedroom was clean, quiet with big windows looking out onto an attractive street. We had a comfy bed with good quality sheets. There were tea making facilities. The bathroom was a good size and very clean. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, especially during breakfast. Breakfast was very good value and the room lovely. The stairs were narrow going up to our floor, so could imagine might be difficult for some, but luckily we were ok, and my understanding is that this is the nature of many buildings in Amsterdam, being tall and thin. The weakest part was the temperature of the shower, despite being hot in the evening, it was cold in the later morning (we showered after breakfast so maybe all the hot water had run out). We generally had a great experience and would be happy staying here again.

Room was spacious and clean, however it was extremely hot, no AC. They did give us a tiny plug in fan on request. Some of the front desk staff was not very helpful. Upon check in we were told we could only pay the city tax in cash which we did not have. The next day someone told us we could pay by card for a 6% fee. After that we were told only cash again. Very inconsistent. I asked to use a phone as the one in our room didn’t work and she told me I was not allowed. I threw some food wrappers away in the common area trash can and was told that we are not supposed to use that one. Overall it was ok but would probably not stay here again.

We stayed for 5 nights in a small couples room and while we didn't expect a lot due to the price, it was definitely not what we expected. The stairs are very steep and narrow making it hard to go up and down them, if you have any luggage bigger than a hand-held one you will find it difficult to maneuver them on it. Would have appreciated the offer to help us take it up to our room which was on the THIRD floor. The bathroom was okay however the toilet is more suitable for a child or slim built person, I had to sit rather uncomfortably every time I needed to go - which includes sitting sideways as there is barely any space in front of the toilet. The bed was comfortable, on the small side but decent. There was also a random a hole in the floor at the foot of the bed that made it uneasy to walk over due to the feeling of it feeling like it would cave under you. House-keeping was good when they don't randomly walk in. One morning we had a house keeper walk in without knocking 3 separate times. There is no tag to let them know we are in the room and did not require their assistance. I had a friend check-in and stay a couple nights in while we there and they were given a fairly larger room/bathroom on the bottom floor right across from the reception - the check in lady told us to "Not be jealous" when we told her what room we were in. She herself knew our room (20) was not in a great location. Lastly, the paper thin walls often woke us up hearing our neighbor, we could literally hear their phone vibrating. I do not recommend if you are looking for comfort after a long day of activities as those stairs are killer to climb. The street in front of the hotel is completely under construction too so don't expect to be able to be dropped off in front of it either.

Comfy bed sheets and pillow Great location

After staying in a different property close by that ended up being an all-around disaster, so much so that we decided to move hotels midway through - walking into the Aadam Hotel Wilhelmina was like a breath of fresh air. We were warmly welcomed when dropping our bags off and when told about our experience in the other hotel, staff were very sympathetic and gave us a beautiful and spatious room here. Disaster struck again for us realising a passport had gone missing, the staff helped us look for it and when it couldn't be found, gave us some information about how to get to our embassy, where we could file a police report and get photos taken for the replacement documents and comped us breakfast for our stress. The front of house was so warm, friendly and helpful throughout our stay here. Highly recommend. Will definitely come to stay again (once I get a new passport!)

Great hotel in a quiet area of Amsterdam, close to convenient transport links such as the tram which departs frequently to the central area. Friendly staff.
