You can reserve with 10% discount through our website, by email or by phone .

Of course! You can call us 24 hours a day at: +31 20 2629200.

There is a 10% discount on the daily price for all direct bookings made via our own booking site, via email and via phone. The discount is already calculated in our offer.
The price is always lower when you book directly with the hotel, than when you book through an online agent/booking website.

The ability to change or cancel a hotel reservation, and the associated fees, depends entirely on two critical factors: How you made the booking and which rate you selected.
You can always find the definitive rules applicable to your stay on the booking website (before you confirm) or on your official booking confirmation.
1. Direct Booking, Standard Rate
• Method: Booked directly with XO Hotels via our official website, e-mail, or telephone.
• Flexibility: This method typically offers the best and most flexible cancellation policy.
• Why? XO Hotels encourages direct bookings and reward guests with superior terms.
• Policy: Free cancellation deadline of 2:00 PM the day before arrival
2. Online Agent Booking (Standard Rate)
• Method: Booked via a third-party Online Travel Agent (OTA) or booking website (e.g., Booking.com, Expedia).
• Flexibility: The cancellation policy for a standard rate booked through an OTA is usually less flexible than a direct booking.
• Why? While a third party may offer competitive prices, their cancellation terms are stricter, sometimes requiring 48 or 72 hours notice, or involving a different process for changes. You must adhere to the OTA's specific terms, an hotel has no influence.
3. Non-Refundable Reservations
• Method: Booked either directly or via an online agent, specifically choosing a rate labeled as "Non-Refundable," "Advance Purchase," or similar.
• Flexibility: These reservations cannot be changed or cancelled.
• Why? These rates are offered at a discounted price in exchange for the guarantee that the hotel receives the revenue regardless of whether the guest arrives. By accepting the lower price, the guest agrees to waive all flexibility.

Minimum one person per room needs to be 18 years or older on the day of arrival.

If you would like to stay with us with a group (six rooms or more), please contact us by email for a suiting offer.

Maximum one child up to 2 years old can stay in the room free of charge. We can, on request, place a cot in the room for children up to 2 years old (free if the room reservation has been made directly with the hotel, otherwise €10 per stay). A cot needs to be reserved at least 2 days prior to arrival and is subject to availability.
For children from 3 years old it is necessary to book and pay for their own bed.

It is not possible to place an extra bed in the room.

That is possible if you have booked directly with us. If you send us an email with all the details of your booking (hotel name, names of guests, reservation number, arrival and departure date), then we can check if we have received the booking.
If you have reserved through a different website, please contact that website for a reconfirmation.

We can email you a confirmation with signature and stamp when you pay the first night of your reservation. This is a non-refundable fee, in case of cancellation of your reservation we will not refund this fee. Contact us by email for more information.

We do not accept pets in our hotel.

We can make a note of your request for a certain room. The reception will do her utmost to arrange this for you, but can not guarantee this until the moment of arrival.

Choose Hotel Van Gogh if you want to explore Amsterdam's world-famous museums, enjoy a comfortable place to relax and stay within easy reach of the city's cultural highlights. Located directly opposite the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam's Museum Quarter, our hotel puts you within walking distance of the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk Museum, Museumplein and the elegant P.C. Hooftstraat shopping street. The green surroundings of Vondelpark are also nearby.
Your room offers a comfortable bed, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, free coffee and tea facilities, a safe and a private bathroom. The art-inspired décor reflects the hotel's surroundings, while free Wi-Fi helps you plan your sightseeing or stay connected during a business trip.
Getting around Amsterdam is straightforward, too. The nearby tram stops connect you with other parts of the city, and you can reach the hotel from Schiphol Airport by public transport. Start your morning with our breakfast buffet, and make the most of your day exploring Amsterdam's art, architecture, shopping and canals.

When you book directly through xohotels.com, you can enjoy a 10% discount and free late checkout until 12:00 when you select the applicable option. Hotel Van Gogh is an excellent choice if you value a prime cultural location, practical comforts and convenient access to Amsterdam's highlights.

"Is Hotel Van Gogh really worth choosing, or am I mainly paying for its location near the museums?"

Location is one of Hotel Van Gogh's biggest advantages, but your stay is about more than being close to the museums. You have a private room with a comfortable bed, air conditioning, complimentary coffee and tea facilities, a safe and your own bathroom. The hotel also offers free Wi-Fi, a breakfast buffet and a reception that is open 24 hours a day, so you can get assistance whenever you need it.
The location can save you valuable sightseeing time. You can visit the Van Gogh Museum directly across the street, walk to the Rijksmuseum and Stedelijk Museum, or take a relaxing break in Vondelpark without spending much of your day travelling between attractions.
It is worth knowing what the hotel does not offer, too. There is no private parking on-site, and the hotel does not have a restaurant serving lunch or dinner. If you arrive by car, paid parking is available at a nearby public car park. For other meals, you can explore the surrounding neighbourhood, which offers shops and places to eat.

If your priority is a well-located, comfortable base for discovering Amsterdam rather than a full-service resort with extensive dining and leisure facilities, Hotel Van Gogh offers a practical and appealing choice.

"Can I stay somewhere that lets me experience Amsterdam's art scene without wasting time travelling between museums?"

Absolutely. Hotel Van Gogh is directly opposite the Van Gogh Museum, making it especially convenient if you want to explore Vincent van Gogh's work. The Rijksmuseum and Stedelijk Museum are also within walking distance, and Museumplein is just a short stroll away. You can plan a full day of art and culture, return to your room to rest between visits, and head back out without needing to cross the city.

"Is Hotel Van Gogh a good base for a romantic weekend or a few days exploring Amsterdam together?"

Yes. The Museum Quarter offers an appealing setting for a city break, with leafy streets, renowned museums, cafés, shopping and nearby Vondelpark. You can spend your days exploring Amsterdam on foot or by tram and return to your own comfortable room in the evening. The central location also makes it easier to organise your plans without relying on taxis for every journey.

"Will I feel comfortable staying here on my own, and can I get help if I arrive late?"

Hotel Van Gogh offers private rooms, in-room amenities and a 24-hour reception, giving you a convenient base for exploring Amsterdam independently. Whether you arrive late after travelling or return from an evening out, you can contact reception for assistance. You can also store your luggage free of charge on your arrival or departure day, allowing you to enjoy more of the city without carrying your bags around.

"Is Hotel Van Gogh difficult to reach if I am unfamiliar with Amsterdam's public transport?"

No. You can travel from Schiphol Airport by public transport, including direct bus 397 to Museumplein, which is a short walk from the hotel. The nearby tram connections also make it easier to reach other attractions and neighbourhoods. The hotel does not operate its own airport shuttle, so it is best to check the latest transport information before travelling.

"Will I face unexpected costs, and can I save money by booking directly with Hotel Van Gogh?"

Booking directly through XO Hotels gives you access to a 10% discount on rates and the option of free late checkout until 12:00 when you select the applicable offer. You can review your booking conditions and total price before confirming your stay.

Remember to budget separately for extras such as breakfast if it is not included in your rate, meals outside breakfast and parking if you are arriving by car. Hotel Van Gogh does not have its own parking facilities, and parking nearby is paid. Checking these details before booking helps you plan your trip with confidence.

Hotel Van Gogh offers four room categories to suit solo travellers, couples, friends and small families: a Small Single Room, a Double Room, a Twin Room, a Triple Room and a Quadruple Room. The main differences are the number of guests each room accommodates, the bed arrangement and the amount of space available.

Small Single Room
1 guest · 7 m²
Designed for solo travellers who want their own private room. It has a comfortable single box-spring bed, a private bathroom with a shower, coffee and tea facilities, free high-speed Wi-Fi and the essential amenities for a convenient city stay.

Double Room
2 guests · approximately 15 m²
Best suited to couples or two guests who prefer to share a bed. This room features a queen-size bed, a private bathroom with a shower, coffee and tea facilities and free high-speed Wi-Fi.

Twin Room
2 guests · approximately 15 m²
Offers the same general room category as the Double Room, but with two separate single beds instead of one shared bed. It is a practical choice for friends, colleagues or anyone who prefers to sleep separately.

Triple Room
3 guests · 20 m²
Suitable for three people travelling together. It has three single box-spring beds, so everyone has their own designated bed without needing an additional bed to be brought into the room.

Quadruple Room
4 guests · 25 m²
Designed for four guests sharing one room, with four single beds. It is a convenient option for families with older children or friends travelling together who want to stay in the same room.

All these room categories provide a private bathroom with a shower, air conditioning and heating, a flat-screen TV, a safe, a hairdryer, toiletries, towels and bed linen, plus free high-speed Wi-Fi and coffee and tea facilities.

"Will I get enough space and a proper bed for everyone, or will we end up cramped in a room that is too small?"

Choosing the right room makes a real difference to your comfort in Amsterdam. At Hotel Van Gogh, the room categories are designed for different group sizes, so you can choose accommodation that matches the number of people travelling with you.

The Small Single Room is compact at 7 m², making it most suitable if you are travelling alone and mainly need a comfortable place to sleep and freshen up. If you are travelling as a couple or with a friend, the Double and Twin Rooms offer approximately 15 m² of space for two guests. For larger parties, the Triple Room provides 20 m² for three guests, while the Quadruple Room offers 25 m² for four.

Importantly, the Triple and Quadruple Rooms have permanent beds for their intended occupancy. Hotel Van Gogh does not add extra beds to rooms, so you should select the correct room category when booking rather than assume another bed can be arranged later.

If you are travelling with children, friends or colleagues, check both the room dimensions and bed configuration before confirming your reservation. This helps you avoid surprises and ensures everyone has a designated bed.

"Should we book a Double Room or a Twin Room if we are travelling as a couple?"

Choose the Double Room if you prefer sharing a queen-size bed. If you would rather sleep in separate beds, the Twin Room offers two individual beds. Both options accommodate two guests, so the deciding factor is your preferred sleeping arrangement.

"Can two friends or colleagues share a room without having to sleep in the same bed?"

Yes. The Twin Room is designed for two guests who prefer separate beds. It allows you to share the convenience of one room while maintaining your own sleeping space. When booking, select the Twin Room specifically rather than assuming that every room for two people has separate beds.

"Which room should I book if I am travelling with two or three children?"

The right choice depends on the total number of guests and the ages of your children.
- Two adults and one child: consider the Triple Room, which accommodates three people in three single beds.
- Two adults and two children: consider the Quadruple Room, which accommodates four people in four single beds.
Hotel Van Gogh does not provide extra beds for children in standard rooms. One child aged up to and including two years can stay free of charge, subject to the room conditions, and a baby cot can be requested in advance, subject to availability. Children aged three and older need their own bed.

If you are travelling with a baby or young children, contact the hotel before booking if you need to confirm cot availability or a particular bed arrangement.

"Is the Small Single Room too small for a comfortable stay in Amsterdam?"

At 7 m², the Small Single Room is compact, and it is important to know that before booking. It is designed for one person who values privacy, a private bathroom and the essential facilities needed after a day exploring Amsterdam.

If you plan to spend most of your time visiting museums, shopping or discovering the city, it can be a practical choice. However, if you prefer more space to unpack, work or relax in your room, compare the available room categories and prices before deciding.

"Do all Hotel Van Gogh rooms have the same facilities, and can I request a particular room?"

The main room facilities are available across the advertised categories, including a private bathroom with a shower, air conditioning and heating, a safe, a hairdryer, coffee and tea facilities and free Wi-Fi. The principal differences are room size, occupancy and bed arrangement.

You can request a preference, such as a particular floor or room location, by contacting the hotel. The team will do its best to accommodate your request, but specific room assignments cannot be guaranteed in advance.

Hotel Van Gogh does not have specially adapted rooms for guests with reduced mobility. If accessibility is important to you, contact the hotel before making a reservation to discuss your needs and determine whether the facilities are suitable.

Booking tip: Visit the official hotel website to compare room types, prices and availability for your travel dates. Select the correct number of guests and your preferred bed arrangement to make sure you book the room that best suits your stay.

Hotel Van Gogh welcomes a variety of international guests throughout the year, from couples and solo travellers to families, friends and visitors travelling for business. Its location directly opposite the Van Gogh Museum, in Amsterdam's Museum Quarter, makes it particularly attractive if you want to explore the city's museums, cultural attractions, shopping streets and green spaces.

The type of visitor you may find yourself sharing the hotel with varies with the season and events taking place in Amsterdam.
- Spring: Visitors come to enjoy Amsterdam's canals, museums, parks and seasonal attractions. Couples, friends and international city-break travellers are likely to appreciate the hotel's location.
- Summer: Amsterdam attracts international tourists, couples, families and groups of friends looking to explore the city on foot, visit museums and enjoy outdoor cafés and parks.
- Autumn: Cultural travellers, museum enthusiasts, couples and business visitors can enjoy the city's attractions beyond the busiest summer period.
- Winter: Visitors come for museums, shopping, Christmas activities and city breaks. The hotel's location provides a convenient base for exploring Amsterdam whatever the weather.

Throughout the year, Hotel Van Gogh is especially suitable for guests who want to spend their time discovering Amsterdam rather than staying in a hotel with extensive leisure facilities. Its private rooms, free Wi-Fi, in-room amenities and convenient public transport connections make it a practical base for different types of travellers.

"Will Hotel Van Gogh suit the kind of trip I'm planning, or is it mainly for tourists visiting the Van Gogh Museum?"

Although Hotel Van Gogh is particularly convenient for museum visitors, you do not need to be an art enthusiast to enjoy staying here. The Museum Quarter also offers shopping, cafés, restaurants, access to Vondelpark and public transport connections to other parts of Amsterdam.

The hotel can suit you if you are:
- A couple looking for a convenient base for a weekend in Amsterdam.
- A solo traveller who wants a private room and easy access to the city's attractions.
- Friends or colleagues who prefer separate beds in a Twin Room.
- A family looking for a room suitable for three or four guests.
- A business traveller who values a central location, Wi-Fi and convenient transport links.
It is important to choose a hotel that matches your expectations. Hotel Van Gogh focuses on comfortable accommodation and a convenient location rather than extensive resort-style facilities. It does not have a hotel bar, and its restaurant does not serve lunch or dinner. If you want a hotel with a swimming pool, spa or extensive on-site dining, you may prefer a different type of accommodation.

If your priority is exploring Amsterdam and having a comfortable place to return to at the end of the day, Hotel Van Gogh is well worth considering.

"Is Hotel Van Gogh a good choice for a romantic city break throughout the year?"

Yes. The Museum Quarter provides an appealing setting for a couple's getaway, with museums, shopping streets, cafés and Vondelpark within easy reach. You can spend your days exploring Amsterdam together and return to your own private room in the evening. Whether you visit in spring, summer, autumn or winter, the location makes it easy to plan a varied city break.

"Will my children feel welcome, and is there a suitable room for our family?"

Hotel Van Gogh offers room options for families, including Triple and Quadruple Rooms. The best option depends on the number of guests and your preferred sleeping arrangements. An extra bed cannot be added, so choose a room that accommodates your entire party. One child aged up to two years can stay free of charge under the hotel's conditions, and a cot can be requested in advance, subject to availability.

"Is Hotel Van Gogh suitable if I'm visiting Amsterdam for work rather than sightseeing?"

Yes, particularly if you want accommodation with free Wi-Fi, a desk in your room and convenient public transport connections. You can combine business commitments with visits to nearby restaurants, shops and cultural attractions during your free time. If you need meeting rooms, extensive business facilities or a specific location near a conference venue, check those requirements before booking.

"Will I be surrounded by noisy party groups, or is Hotel Van Gogh suitable if I want a more relaxed stay?"

Hotel Van Gogh is located in the Museum Quarter, an area known for its cultural attractions rather than Amsterdam's main nightlife districts. This may appeal if you prefer spending your days visiting museums, walking through the city and relaxing in cafés. However, the hotel cannot guarantee that every guest or room will be completely quiet. If you are a light sleeper, you can request a quieter room location when booking, although requests are subject to availability.

Hotel Van Gogh is located in Amsterdam's Museum Quarter, directly opposite the Van Gogh Museum and close to the Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk Museum and Museumplein. Depending on your room's location within the building, you may look out onto the surrounding streets or neighbouring buildings. However, a view of the Van Gogh Museum or a particular Amsterdam landmark is not guaranteed.

The hotel focuses on providing a comfortable, convenient base for exploring Amsterdam's cultural attractions. If you plan to spend your days visiting museums, shopping or discovering the city, you can enjoy the neighbourhood's highlights just outside the hotel.

If the view from your room is important to you, let us know your preference before arrival. Our reception team will do its best to accommodate your request, subject to availability.

"Will I get a disappointing view of a wall or neighbouring building instead of a nice Amsterdam city view?"

We understand that the view from your room can influence how you experience your stay, especially if you enjoy natural daylight or like looking out over the city while relaxing.
Hotel Van Gogh is situated in an established urban neighbourhood, so the outlook varies depending on the room you are allocated. We cannot promise a panoramic city view, a view of the Van Gogh Museum or an unobstructed outlook from every room.

If you have a preference for a particular view, a higher floor or a room with a more open outlook, please contact us before your arrival. We will add your request to your reservation and do our best to meet it, although the final room allocation depends on availability.
We prefer to be transparent about this so you can choose your accommodation with realistic expectations.

"Can I request a room with a particularly nice view for a romantic weekend or special occasion?"

Of course. If you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary or romantic weekend, you are welcome to contact Hotel Van Gogh in advance and tell us what would make your stay more special. We can note your preference for a particular view or room location and do our best to accommodate it. Please remember that a specific view cannot be guaranteed.

"Will my room have natural daylight, or could I end up with a restricted outlook?"

The outlook and amount of daylight can vary depending on the room's position within the building. If natural daylight or an open outlook is particularly important to you, please contact us before booking or arriving so we can discuss your preference. We will do our best to help, subject to availability.

"Can I request a room with a quieter view away from the street?"

Yes. You can request a room in a quieter location, and our reception team will do its best to take your preference into account. However, we cannot guarantee a specific room location before arrival. If you are sensitive to street noise, please mention this when making your reservation so we can record your request.

Check-out at Hotel Van Gogh is by 11:00 AM on your departure day. Please make sure you leave your room by this time so our housekeeping team can prepare it for the next guest.
Would you like to enjoy a little more time in Amsterdam before leaving? You can leave your luggage in our luggage room free of charge on your departure day, allowing you to explore the city without carrying your bags.
If you would prefer to stay in your room longer, you can ask reception about late check-out, which is subject to availability and may involve an additional charge. If you book directly through the XO Hotels website, you can enjoy free late check-out until 12:00 when you select the applicable option during booking.

"Will I have to leave my room at 11:00 AM even if I want to enjoy a relaxed morning or have a late flight?"

We understand that you may want to make the most of your final morning in Amsterdam, especially if your flight or train leaves later in the day.
Your standard check-out time is 11:00 AM, but you may be able to arrange a later departure, depending on availability. When booking directly through our website, you can select the applicable free late check-out option until 12:00. Longer extensions may be available for an additional charge.
If a later check-out is not possible, you can still leave your luggage with us free of charge on your departure day and enjoy your remaining time in Amsterdam before travelling home.

"Can I leave my luggage at Hotel Van Gogh after checking out?"

Yes. You can store your luggage in our luggage room free of charge on your departure day, so you can explore Amsterdam before heading to the airport.

"Can I stay in my room until noon without paying extra?"

Yes, if you book directly through the XO Hotels website and select the applicable free late check-out option until 12:00. Availability and the conditions of your reservation apply.

"Can I check out after 12:00 PM?"

You can ask reception whether a later check-out is possible. Extensions are subject to availability and a charge of 10 Euro an hour extra apply. Please confirm the arrangements with reception rather than assuming your room will be available beyond the agreed check-out time.

Hotel Van Gogh does not have specially adapted rooms for guests with reduced mobility or wheelchair users. However, the hotel does have a lift, and all rooms are accessible by lift. Please note that lift access does not necessarily mean that every room, bathroom or route is fully wheelchair accessible.

If you have reduced mobility, use a wheelchair or need step-free access, we recommend contacting the hotel before booking. Our team can explain the available facilities and help you assess whether the hotel is suitable for your individual needs.

"The hotel has a lift, but can I actually access my room and bathroom comfortably in a wheelchair?"

We understand that accessibility involves much more than simply having a lift. You may need wide doorways, sufficient space to manoeuvre, step-free access to the bathroom or a shower that you can use safely and independently.
Although all Hotel Van Gogh rooms can be reached by lift, the hotel does not offer specially adapted accessible rooms. We therefore cannot guarantee wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, grab rails, roll-in showers or sufficient turning space for a wheelchair.
We want you to know this before you book, rather than discover that the facilities do not meet your needs after arrival. Please contact us in advance to discuss your specific mobility requirements.

"Can I stay at Hotel Van Gogh if I use a wheelchair?"

You are welcome to enquire about staying with us, but Hotel Van Gogh does not have specially adapted wheelchair-accessible rooms. As accessibility requirements vary, please contact the hotel before booking to discuss your needs and establish whether the available facilities are suitable.

"Is Hotel Van Gogh suitable if I have difficulty climbing stairs or walking long distances?"

The hotel has a lift serving all rooms, which can help you avoid using stairs to reach your floor. However, we cannot guarantee that every route within the hotel or every room is completely step-free. If you use a walking aid or have difficulty with steps, please contact us before booking so we can discuss your requirements.

"Can I book Hotel Van Gogh for an older relative who needs an accessible bathroom or additional support?"

That depends on the level of assistance and the bathroom facilities your relative requires. While the hotel has a lift, it does not offer specially adapted rooms for guests with reduced mobility. If your relative needs grab rails, a wheelchair-accessible shower or other specific adaptations, please contact us before making a reservation to determine whether the hotel can accommodate those needs.

Hotel Van Gogh serves a daily breakfast buffet with a selection of hot and cold dishes, fresh bread, pastries, cereals, dairy products, savoury toppings, fruit and drinks. Whether you prefer a light continental breakfast or a more substantial hot breakfast before exploring Amsterdam, you can put together a meal to suit your morning.

The buffet includes:
- Bread and pastries: white and brown bread, white and brown bread rolls, croissants and chocolate pastries.
- Cereals and dairy: muesli, cornflakes, natural yoghurt and strawberry yoghurt.
- Cheese and toppings: chicken breast slices, young mature cheese, butter, strawberry and blueberry jam, chocolate spread and honey.
- Hot breakfast dishes: boiled eggs, scrambled eggs and bacon.
- Fruit and vegetables: fruit in syrup, cucumber and tomato.
- Drinks: coffee, cappuccino, espresso, latte macchiato, hot chocolate, tea, orange juice, milk and soy milk.
- Condiments and extras: salt, pepper, mayonnaise, ketchup, coffee creamer, sugar and sweeteners.
The buffet also includes additional items such as salami, aged cheese, peanut butter, white beans, chicken sausages, lettuce, potato salad, apple juice and olive oil.

Breakfast times: Monday to Friday, 07:00–10:30; Saturday and Sunday, 07:30–11:00. The published breakfast price is €15 per person per day. Check the hotel's official breakfast information for the latest details.

"Is the breakfast buffet varied enough to fill me up, or will I have to find somewhere else to eat?"

We understand that breakfast needs to be more than a quick coffee and a piece of toast, especially when you have a full day of sightseeing ahead of you. At Hotel Van Gogh, the buffet combines bread and pastries, cereals, yoghurt, savoury toppings, eggs, bacon, fruit and a range of hot and cold drinks.
You can opt for a light breakfast with cereal, yoghurt and fruit, prepare toast or a bread roll with cheese or chicken breast, or choose a more substantial plate with scrambled eggs and bacon. Coffee, tea, juices and other drinks are available to accompany your meal.

The selection is designed to suit a range of everyday breakfast preferences. However, it is worth knowing that this is a breakfast buffet rather than an à la carte restaurant, and the selection is more limited than at some larger hotels. If you have specific dietary requirements, please check the available options before booking.

"Can I have a gluten-free breakfast at Hotel Van Gogh, or will I be limited to fruit and coffee?"

Yes. Gluten-free bread and cornflakes are available on request. Please contact the hotel in advance at info@hotelvangogh.nl so the team can prepare for your requirements.

If you have coeliac disease or a serious gluten intolerance, please explain your needs clearly before arrival and ask the team about ingredient information and the risk of cross-contact during buffet preparation. We recommend confirming the arrangements directly with the hotel rather than assuming that every buffet item is gluten-free.

"Is there a proper vegan breakfast at Hotel Van Gogh, or is soy milk the only plant-based option?"

Hotel Van Gogh offers soy milk as an alternative to dairy milk. However, a dedicated vegan breakfast selection is not currently available on request.

Some buffet items, such as certain breads, fruit and cereals, may be suitable for a plant-based diet, but ingredients can vary. If you follow a strict vegan diet, please contact the hotel before your stay to check which items you can eat. We do not want you to assume that vegan cheese, meat alternatives or other specialist products will be available.

"Can I enjoy a filling vegetarian breakfast without eating meat or fish?"

Yes. Depending on your preferences, you can choose from bread, rolls, croissants, cereals, yoghurt, cheese, eggs, fruit and vegetables. You can also enjoy coffee, tea, juice and other drinks.

Please note that some hot buffet dishes, including bacon and chicken sausages, contain meat. If you have specific dietary requirements beyond avoiding meat, check the ingredients with the breakfast team.

"Will my children find something they enjoy at breakfast, even if they are fussy eaters?"

The buffet offers familiar options for many children, including bread, rolls, croissants, cornflakes, yoghurt, eggs, fruit and hot chocolate. This variety allows you to put together a breakfast according to your child's preferences.
If your child has a food allergy or intolerance, please speak to the hotel in advance and check ingredient information before serving any food.

"Can I have breakfast early enough to make the most of my day in Amsterdam?"

Yes. Breakfast is served from 07:00 on weekdays and from 07:30 at weekends. On weekdays, the buffet closes at 10:30, while at weekends it remains open until 11:00.
If you have an early flight, a museum reservation or a scheduled excursion, plan your morning around these opening hours. The hotel does not advertise an early breakfast service outside these times, so contact the team in advance if you need to leave particularly early.

Yes. Officially certified service animals are permitted at Hotel Van Gogh, even though ordinary pets are not allowed.
Your service animal can accompany you in any of the hotel's room types, including the Small Single, Double, Twin, Triple and Quadruple Rooms, provided the hotel's requirements are met. There is no separate service-animal surcharge to pay.

To arrange your stay, please contact the hotel before arrival, provide a valid certificate for your service animal and obtain the hotel's permission in advance. Your service animal must remain with you throughout your stay.
For arrangements or confirmation, contact Hotel Van Gogh at info@hotelvangogh.nl.

"I need my certified service animal with me. Will I be charged extra or refused accommodation because the hotel does not accept pets?"

We understand that your service animal may be essential for your independence, safety or daily activities. Although Hotel Van Gogh does not accept ordinary pets, officially certified service animals are treated differently under XO Hotels' published policy.
No separate fee for a certified service animal is specified in the published terms. To avoid uncertainty at check-in, please notify the hotel in advance, provide the required certification and obtain confirmation before your arrival.
Your service animal must remain with you during your stay. Please contact the hotel directly if you have questions about documentation or your specific requirements.

"Can I bring my guide dog if I book a Double or Twin Room?"

Yes. Certified service animals are permitted across the hotel's room categories, including Double and Twin Rooms, subject to the hotel's advance-notification and certification requirements. Please contact the hotel before booking or arrival to confirm the arrangements.

"Do I have to pay a cleaning fee or an extra nightly charge for my service animal?"

XO Hotels does not ask a separate nightly fee or service-animal surcharge.

"What should I do before arriving at Hotel Van Gogh with my certified service animal?"

Please notify the hotel in advance, provide valid certification and obtain permission before arrival. Contact info@hotelvangogh.nl so the team can confirm the requirements and make the necessary arrangements for your stay.

No, Hotel Van Gogh does not serve lunch or dinner in its restaurant. The hotel offers a breakfast buffet with a selection of hot and cold items to help you start your day in Amsterdam. There is no hotel bar, either.
However, you will find plenty of places to eat in the surrounding Museum Quarter. The nearby Van Gogh Museum has cafés and Bistro Vincent, where you can enjoy lunch if you have a valid museum admission ticket. You can also explore the cafés, restaurants and eateries around Museumplein and the nearby shopping streets.

"If I return to Hotel Van Gogh hungry after a day of sightseeing, will I have to go somewhere else for dinner?"

Yes, you will need to eat outside the hotel if you want lunch or dinner. Hotel Van Gogh focuses on comfortable accommodation and a convenient location for exploring Amsterdam rather than providing full-service dining throughout the day.
Fortunately, the Museum Quarter has a range of cafés and restaurants within walking distance, giving you plenty of opportunities to find something that suits your appetite and budget. You can ask reception for suggestions to help you find somewhere nearby.
Please note that Hotel Van Gogh does not serve alcoholic drinks, although you are permitted to bring your own alcoholic beverages to enjoy in your room.

"Can I order room service or have a meal delivered to my room?"

Hotel Van Gogh does not operate a restaurant serving lunch or dinner. If you would like a meal, you will need to make arrangements outside the hotel. Please ask reception for guidance on nearby dining options.

"Will I find vegetarian, vegan or other special-diet meals at the hotel for lunch or dinner?"

The hotel does not serve lunch or dinner, so it cannot provide dedicated lunch or dinner menus for special diets. The breakfast buffet has a selection of hot and cold items, but vegan options are limited. For other meals, you can explore nearby restaurants and check their menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or other dietary options.

"Can I get something to eat at the hotel if I arrive late in the evening?"

Hotel Van Gogh does not have a restaurant or bar serving evening meals. If you expect to arrive late, we recommend arranging your meal before arriving or checking nearby eateries and their opening hours. Reception can help you with local information.

Hotel Van Gogh does not offer its own parking facilities, so you will need to use public street parking or a nearby car park if you arrive by car.
Street parking in Amsterdam's Museum Quarter is paid, and the price depends on the exact street and the applicable parking hours. You can check the current rate for your intended parking location using the City of Amsterdam's official parking map.

According to Q-Park, the garage has 24 electric vehicle charging points. These are intended for charging while your car is parked, rather than for rapid DC charging. Q-Park's public information does not specify the connector type or charging power for these individual points, so check directly with Q-Park or its charging app to confirm compatibility with your vehicle.
Please note that Hotel Van Gogh does not have its own parking garage or EV chargers. Charging is available at the nearby public Q-Park facility, subject to charger availability and the applicable parking and charging fees.

To avoid surprises, check the Q-Park website or charging app before your journey. Confirm that the charger is compatible with your vehicle, whether you need your own cable, and the current charging tariff. You should also check the garage's vehicle height limit of 1.90 metres if you drive a larger electric vehicle or one with a roof box.
Because Hotel Van Gogh does not operate its own parking or charging facilities, the hotel cannot reserve a charger for you.

Answer: Q-Park lists EV charging facilities but does not clearly publish the power rating and connector specification for each point on its public garage information page. Do not assume that rapid DC charging is available. Check the charging app or contact Q-Park to confirm the charging speed and connector before arriving.

"Can I park and charge an electric SUV or a vehicle with a roof box at Q-Park Museumplein?"

The garage's stated maximum vehicle height is 1.90 metres. Check your vehicle's total height, including roof accessories, before entering. If your vehicle exceeds the limit, you will need to find a suitable alternative parking and charging facility.

"What should I do if all the EV charging points near Hotel Van Gogh are occupied?"

Since the hotel does not provide its own EV charging, planning an alternative helps you avoid relying on a single charging location.

- Prepare for your arrival: If unfamiliar situations are stressful, ask about check-in arrangements and any practical details you would like to know before arriving.
We want you to have realistic expectations before booking, so you can decide whether Hotel Van Gogh is the right fit for your needs.

"Can I request a quiet room where I can relax after a busy day in Amsterdam?"

Yes. You can request a room in a quieter location when making your reservation or by contacting the hotel before arrival. The team will do its best to accommodate your preference, although it cannot guarantee a specific room or complete silence. If noise is a significant trigger for you, explain your needs before booking so you can discuss the available options.

"Can Hotel Van Gogh help us prepare for our child's sensory needs and make the stay less stressful?"

We recommend contacting the hotel before your arrival and explaining what helps your child feel comfortable, such as a quieter room location or advance information about the arrival process. The team can discuss your requests and explain what may be possible. If your child benefits from familiar routines, bringing favourite comfort items and planning quiet breaks between activities may also help.

"Can I be sure my room will be quiet at night if I am particularly sensitive to sound?"

Hotel Van Gogh can record a request for a quieter room location, but cannot guarantee a completely quiet environment. Noise levels may vary depending on the room location and other guests. If you are especially sensitive to sound, contact the hotel before booking to discuss your concerns and consider bringing familiar earplugs or other aids that you find helpful.

"Can I request specific lighting, window or room conditions to help prevent sensory overload?"

You are welcome to explain your requirements to the hotel in advance. However, specific lighting adjustments or other sensory adaptations are not advertised as dedicated hotel services, so please confirm what is possible before booking. Most rooms have windows that can be opened slightly, but some rooms have windows that cannot be opened. If fresh air or a particular room environment is important to you, mention this when contacting the hotel.

"Can I find out what to expect before arriving, so I can prepare for my stay?"

Yes. You can contact Hotel Van Gogh before your trip to ask practical questions about your arrival, room preferences and the facilities available. Reception is open 24 hours a day, and the team can help with questions during your stay. Sharing your needs in advance can help you plan, although specific room arrangements cannot be guaranteed.

Our recommendation: If sensory comfort is an important factor in choosing accommodation, contact Hotel Van Gogh before making a non-refundable reservation. Explain your specific needs and ask which arrangements the hotel can confirm. This gives you a clearer picture of what to expect and helps you make an informed decision about whether the hotel suits you.
