Van Ostade Bicycle Hotel Amsterdam Location (Map)
Van Ostade Bicycle hotel is located in a typical residential area which is well-known under the name "De Pijp". The hotel is located ten minutes walking distance from the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum, the Rijksmuseum, the Concertgebouw and the RAI exhibition/conference centre.
How to reach the Van Ostade Bicycle Hotel?1) From Schiphol Airport (Amsterdam Airport): Every 20 minutes there is a train running from the airport to Amsterdam Central Station. When you arrive at the airport and you reach the central hall there is a big sign with the train information. The trains to the central station are running from 05:40 AM to 00:30 AM. The train goes every 12 minutes. The duration of the journey is about 15/20 minutes. The costs are approximately EUR 3,60 (go to step 2).
2) From Amsterdam Central Station: You can reach the hotel by tram 16 or 24 starting from the Central Railway Station. Get out at the 8th stop which is called 'Albert Cuyp Market'. Walk down the Ferdinand Bolstraat, 4th street to the left, 'Van Ostadestraat' (first street after the first traffic lights). From there you can walk to the hotel in approximately 5 minutes.
You also can take tram nr. 25. Get out at stop 'Tweede van der Helststraat,' walk in the street next to "Peters Letters" near the tram stop and take the first street to the right. The trams in Amsterdam are normally running from: 07:00 AM to 01:00 AM.
3) From any direction by car: As soon as you reach the Ring ("Ringweg") around Amsterdam (road number A10), you must leave it at exit ("afrit") RAI which is exit number S109. This means: if you come from direction "Den Haag" (A4), just go straight on until exit S109. If you come from direction "Alkmaar" (A8), first take the A10 west and then the A10 south direction "Utrecht". If you come from direction "Amersfoort" (A1) or Utrecht (A2), take the A10 south, direction "Den Haag".
After you have left the ring at exit number S109, go to the right and follow the road. You pass the RAI Congress Center. Then the main road leads to the left, but you continue to go straight on ("Scheldestraat"). After the traffic lights, crossing the "Churchill-laan", turn right into the 4th street big street on your right, "Van Ostadestraat" and you'll find us at No. 123. Look for the sign "Hotel" at your left hand, with the two bikes above it.

Friendly staff, room nice and clean
Stairway from hell !!! steep and narrow.12 Oct 09
A pleasant stay in a pleasant location.Nothing really negative, slightly thin walls perhaps...10 Sep 09
Friendly & helpful staff.Initially had some trouble finding the hotel as the road to take from the tram stop was obscured by road works. perhaps a little more detail on where to go (and where not to go) would be useful in the directions.09 Sep 09
I have rated this hotel very well for the price i paid for it (50 euros) - i really enjoyed my stay there. the place has a nice atmosphere. i would say that the breakfast is pretty average, but filling. the hotel is far from the central sites of amsterdam (although it is a very pleasant walk), but it is in a great area for the albert cuyp market, and has lots of restaurants, cafes, supermarkets etc nearby. 20 Feb 09
The hotel was near to the city centre and this made access very easyI booked my room four months in advance and i am sure i was told 157 euro for the room for four nights but when i arrived i was charged 300 euro almost twice as much 08 Sep 08

- helpful staff
- nice breakfast
- central location- the hotel was a bit difficult to find, but that may have been because we reached there at midnight.20 Apr 08
Nice and clean hotel!Early check out time at 11 o'clock and the stair steps of the hotel were too small!if you are carrying big bags with you it would be an achievement to go upstairs!30 Jan 08

Staff were incredibly helpful, especially the manager. the breakfasts were fantastic!28 Oct 07
Some of the people were very friendly and eager to help. the rooms were clean. I got the wrong impression of the hotel from the website though. we were a bit shocked when we saw the rooms. i have never stayed in amsterdam before and didn't know what to expect for the money i was paying, but if i had seen the rooms, i don't think i would have chosen to stay there. they were small, and the shared bathrooms were not very pleasant to use. especially the toilets.07 Oct 07

We just needed a decent bed for the night in a quiet location and that is exactly what we got. it had the feel of a posh hostel rather than a hotel and that was nice too.The pillows weren't great!
