Suites with a story
Posted: Tue, Jun 24 2008
We stayed early spring for a 5 day minibreak in hotel the philosopher, and we fell in love. first we had a very warm welcome at the receptionists desk, they were very helpfull with giving us information and help carry up our luggage (the staircase is quite steep). we stayed in one of the wonderfull suites (115), which was decorated very stylish and even had a kitchen in there. The receptionist told us it used to be one of the appartements of the former owners ! breakfast was fine with friendly personel, internet is for free and we did some great tours to the flowerfields and trough amsterdam the hotel was able to book for us. This was our first time in amsterdam, we loved it and look forward to vist this great city and the filosopher again, thank you !

disappointed.....

We had great expectations about the hotel after seeing the pictures on their website. When we arrived the reception was not friendly or welcoming at all. We found we got a room across the street, that was a disapointment. After climbing 3 stairs we found we had an enormous room, not too clean. The bathroom was big as well but no basin so we had to wash our hands and clean our teeth in the little kitchen in the corner. Take a piece of soap, only small amount of fluid soap, no new soap after one day. There was a senseo coffeemaker in the room, not very clean, didn't want to use it. Breakfast average. All in all we've had much better for less money in other places.

Unreliable booking service

We had booked, was confirmed by e-mail/ telephone. Prices of rooms were suddently higher. two weeks before arrival the confirmation was cancelled. What a service...........
