The room was literally the size of a closet. 1.5 armspans long, 1 armspan wide. For nearly $1000 for 8 nights I expected a little more. Had I been notified of the size of the room I never would've booked with this hotel. It was absolutely horrible!!!!

"Worst place ever!"
Location is very good, however it is the worst place I have ever seen, room was extremely small, only the bed occupied the whole space, the service was terrible, they didn't even care there was people staying there. The place looked awful and the bed wasn't even a bed!!! I know these places are cheap but I stayed another night in a different hostel for the same price and it was 10 times better so there are no excuses!

"No go"
Basic room and breakfast. Lack of good service. Some staff really rude and not service minded at all.

"My Stay in Vivaldi Hotel"
I've stayed in Vidaldi Hotel the night of 18th April and I was fully satisfied considering the purpose of my visit which was to attend a retirement farewell of a friend in Heineken Experience located 2 minutes walk!Everything worked as expected but a Single room/bed is what it really means! To someone above average size I would recommend a double bed for his comfort overnight. Dutch people are above medium size and I would expect to find their beds re-sized accordingly!!!

"Better than expected"
My expectations weren't that high after the reviews I read. But when we arrived we were pleasantly surprised. Yes, the room was tiny and no one came to clean it, but at least it was on the third floor and had a window with a nice view over the backyard, from which we could hear birds in the morning. There was no sign of rats or bedbugs and nothing was stolen. Only the fact that there was no elevator in our building and that the lady at the reception didn't speak English and ignored us for about 5 minutes while we just stood there makes me give the hotel 1* in service. The location is quite nice. It's next to the Heineken brewery and walking about 150m north you can find some coffee shops. But, if you want to explore the Red Light District and other parts of the city, you'd better buy a OV-card (for trams) or rent a bicycle because otherwise you'll spend a lot of time walking to your destination.All in all me and my friends would recommend this hotel to anyone who just needs a place to sleep and doesn't need a good service.

"Great location and great value"
The shower and bathroom were modern, clean, and there was an abundance of hot water and water pressure,! The rooms were small with little furniture. old curtains and small beds but they were clean and comfortable with duvets. We never had the breakfast but the breakfast room came with a microwave, coffee machine and tableware --convenient for late risers like me. The staff was nice and helpful.
