Volkshotel
About
Volkshotel is a one‑throw, reimagined former newspaper headquarters that now hosts 196 rooms ranging from intimate hide‑outs to extravagant suites. Every corner of the 17‑floor building celebrates a DIY ethos: think modular furniture, exposed concrete, solar panels, and pop‑up art installations created by the hotel’s own crew. The hotel’s rooftop, called Badplaats, offers free hot tubs and a sauna open daily from 07:00 to 23:00, and is a staple destination for those seeking a slice of Amsterdam’s nightlife and a breathtaking view over the city. Beyond the spa, guests can take advantage of a free co‑working space on the ground floor, indoor and outdoor dining at Canvas, and a creative studio that doubles as a rehearsal space for local musicians and performers. Rooms range from standard rooms with two single beds to the iconic “Miva” wheelchair‑friendly suite, each decorated by different artists to keep the experience fresh. The hotel also encourages social interaction with communal areas, open‑air beers, and its own micro‑cultures of DJs, artists, and creatives. Check‑in begins at 16:00 and guests are welcome to leave their luggage with the friendly front desk if they need to explore the city. Breakfast is available between 07:00–10:30 on weekdays and 08:00–11:30 on weekends, with both quick pastries at Werkplaats and a buffet on Canvas. The hotel charges €25 per day for parking guests, while visitors pay €4 per hour or €35 per 24 hours. Whether you’re a solo traveler looking for an ultra‑modern base, a couple seeking a quirky romantic escape, or a creative professional wanting to work in an inspiring environment, Volkshotel offers a city‑wide community vibe that redefines what a hotel can be.
