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

We had read about the college hotel and were pleased we finally made it. Indeed, a former school very nicely redecorated into a boutique hotel, even if a bit too dark to our taste. MAin drawback: the place is not run by professional hotel-staff! The place clearly lacks at all places a firm hand of an experienced maitre d'hotel. Already... More

Dear Traveller, Thank you for your review on Tripadvisor. As known our hotel is run by 70% students and 30% hospitality professionals. Unfortunately we had a very busy period around in the time you were in our hotel. Therefore it might be possible that the professional hand was missing. We do understand that this is not a correct way and... More

We booked this hotel through Luxurylink. We generally are not disappointed with hotels through Luxurylink, but there have been the exceptions. Well this hotel is truly a gem. Our room is nice with a good bed and we love the location. Out of the central area, but the tram and bus lines are right outside of the hotel. We have... More

After 4 e-mails and 6 phone calls I give up.I contacted persona responsible for banquets, but she never responded to my reservation request. She was constantly unavailable, never... More

I was in this hotel 6 years ago during my first visit to Amsterdam. Now, after 10+ different hotels in this city I was back in school. Why school? Because personnel in this hotel are still kids on the practice for their schools. And kids were very nice and friendly. Many of them, helping you with whatever you need, smiling,... More
