Hotel van de Vijsel is a 4-star hotel on Overtoom, in Oud-West, a few steps from Leidseplein. It has buffet breakfast and contemporary-design rooms, and leaves you a short walk from the big museums and Vondelpark.
Location and getting around
Overtoom is the avenue that runs west from Leidseplein. From the hotel, Leidseplein and the main entrance to Vondelpark are about a 5-minute walk.
The Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum are about 10 minutes on foot, and the Bloemenmarkt flower market about 15. Rembrandtplein is about 20 minutes, still within walking distance.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms have a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a shower. A buffet breakfast is served every morning.
Wifi, a bar, a restaurant and a 24-hour reception are not listed. If any of those services matters to you, ask directly before booking. Parking is not listed either, something to bear in mind if you plan to arrive by car.
