Hotel Atlas Vondelpark, Amsterdam

We stayed 3 days in Amsterdam. The hotel is a block off a main road, so no road noise. Unfortunately, there were soundproofing issues - we could hear every conversation in the hall. However, because the hotel is so small, this was not a huge problem. The complimentary breakfast is delicious with a wide variety. Croissants are baked fresh on site! Staff were friendly and knowledgable. Twin beds were small and a bit lumpy but not terrible. No way to change room temperature. 3 block walk to tram stop, 4 blocks to Van Gogh museum. Not many neighborhood restaurants.

Nice hotel chosen for its proximity to the park. Wonderful staff. Within 20 minutes walking to good shopping and restaurants.

Stayed 5 days. Beautiful location well serviced by trams.

Was charged a "city tax" that was not on my Hotel.com booking confirmation. Atlas is a non-smoking hotel. However, I clearly smelled cigarette smoke the next morning, that was coming either through the bathroom vent or via the hallway, and which I had to go down to the desk to report because there were no instructions in room how to call the desk. There was not much sympathy expressed at the desk when I asked for a refund because of the smoke that was giving me a headache. The bathroom lighting was very poor. Breakfast cost an extra 10E so I bought food the night before at nearby grocery store for a light breakfast.

Very quiet part of town.Nearby park is lovely.Best museums are walking distance. Neighborhood is tidy. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good but was 10 euros.
