Great Location - right off a park and in a very pretty neighborhood. The room itself was also nice, with direct access to an outdoor courtyard. The bathroom smelled a bit like mildew and the room itself was cold. I loved the theme and the decor was cute. More

The room itself in pretty poor shape. A very amateurish mural on the wall, mismatched furniture, badly stained carpets, faded drapes, a dorm-room quality bed -- just basically in bad need of updating and refreshing all around. The wi-fi signal did not reach my room, which was a particular disappointment. On the plus side, the staff were extremely, extremely friendly... More

I was staying here on business. Check in was very efficient and all the staff I met were friendly and helpful. I normally stay in rather bland 4 star chain hotels so it was nice to be staying somewhere with local character. The public areas were clean, cozy and nicely decorated. There is a lift to the upper floors if... More

Very old and dusty hotel. The pictures of the rooms are not representative of the hotel. We have visited 4 rooms after having asked to change the room. Need a total renovation: paintings, electricity, bathrooms pipes, beds…Very expensive, not worth of it. Don't be surprise if your room is in the building in front of the main buidling also! Do...

Hotel de Filosoof is a hotel with clean and cozy rooms and friendly personnel. It is situated just outside of the center but is very easy to reach by tram. Also, Leidseplein is on walking distance. The room we stayed in was small, but was decorated nicely according to the philosopher theme. Everything was clean, the bed was great and... More

I would rather stay at nice 3 star, than a poor 4 star. The good points of Hotel Filosoof. 1) rooms nicely decorated with a theme. You don't feel like you could be in any city in a big brand name hotel that doesn't really care about you: hence point 2) free wifi: 3) nice cotton sheets on bed. this... More

The hotel is very quaint,but the bed was terrible. The center of the bed was so indented that when you rolled over you experienced the sensation of falling. The shower had a tiny glass partition that did not protect the bathroom from experiencing the shower, too. The toilet and the floor were soaked despite every attempt to keep the water... More

We were in Amsterdam for 10 days; in Hotel Filosoof for 4 days. It was awful. Our other hotels were fabulous. Fodor's likes this hotel-- DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT THEY SAY!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. WAY OVER PRICED. WAY OVER RATED. NOT NICE, RATHER TAWDRY CRAPPY SERVICE. PATHETIC BATHROOMS. THE OVERALL GENERAL MANAGER IS 22 YEARS OLD! YES, AND THE... More

This hotel is very nice. Although the decor is a little dated, it is spotlessly clean. The staff were very helpful at all times. We were up on the 3rd floor, a really steep stairs up to it but the lift was also an option. Our room was spacious & clean. Our en-suite bathroom was recently renovated & although small,... More
