Municipality of Castricum Vacations & Trips from $1,119

The location was excellent, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby and easy access to different parts of Amsterdam. The room was very quiet in terms of street noise. However, because it was a connecting room, noise from the adjoining room or corridor could sometimes be heard. Unfortunately, our bed consisted of two single beds pushed together and was made up with two separate single duvets. The staff members we dealt with were excellent throughout our stay. The room was spacious and clean, but the lack of power sockets was disappointing. There were only two sockets, both located underneath the desk, which made charging electronic devices inconvenient. The shower was good, but there was no lip or barrier to prevent water from spilling onto the bathroom floor outside the shower area. The hotel lift was very small and extremely slow, although it was functional.

I've been staying at the Conservatorium regularly for 12 years now, and it is remarkably consistent: great location, awesome people, striking architecture, and the best gym of all the 5-star hotels in Amsterdam. This year, though, there was one welcome change and one not-so-great one: the breakfast has improved, with the addition of a buffet, which is convenient. But they also seem to have started letting local residents use the gym, so it's now super-packed at all hours, and you have to wait for machines. The gym has always been a big part of why I stayed there, so that's disappointing.

This hotel is simply amazing! The location is fantastic, and the staff are absolutely wonderful. The service is exceptional! The room is small, but honestly, we didn’t need anything more. The bed is incredibly comfortable, the room is completely soundproof and the blackout curtains make it perfectly dark, so we had a fantastic night’s sleep. We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely stay here again next time we visit. Highly recommended!

This hotel was really lovely. It was very near to the older part of Gouda and the room was clean and spacious. There were some lovely touches -- a stroopwafel on arrival and free snacks in the room! The hotel itself has real character and has a lovely courtyard and is very quiet. The staff were also extremely helpful and friendly.
