Very close to the lovely Vondelpark and an easy walk to Rijksmuseum & Van Gough Museum. Quirky decor - each room devoted to a different philosopher and there are lots of books (many in English) to read!

Hotel de Filosoof is one of the places that hunts you, the minute you hear its story. A hotel built and decorated as a homage to great thinkers of history. Every room has an invisible habitant whether it is Aristotle or Wittgenstein. The rooms are styled in accordance with the thinker behind. Well since you are also one of the... More

I booked a twin cozy room through expedia to this hotel and the price was quite high. When we arrived the hotel stuff said that there is only one cozy room left. This was an absolute horror in basement for 4 people - 4 separate beds, almost no light and tubes in ceilings. The room is number one and I... More

My daughter and I stayed for three days in March 2013. This hotel is very intimate, and located on an extremely quiet street. There are restaurants within walking distance and the trolley was nearby. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. Although the room was small (by American standards only) it had everything we needed. It was neat and clean.... More

Going yearly to the hotel for now 5 years, I really appreciate warm welcome, cosy rooms and ideal location. Situated on the border of the vondelpark, near leidseplein & museumplein in the friendly Overtom neighborhood, the hotel is regularly refreshed :) and rooms are nicely decorated. Remember to book online to get special offers!

It was snowing, Amsterdams fairytalelike canals were white and silent. So was the Vondelpark where hotel de Filosoof is located. They gave me the Erosroom, although alone it was lovely. Painted lightblue with angels all over. I left the curtains open allnight long to look at the beautiful big gardens of an old church and some mansions. Breakfast was okay.... More
