Municipality of IJsselstein Vacations & Trips from $934

Rooms are big and clean. The coffee at the lobby is great. Easy to get to town via the metro just a short 2 min walk.

I loved this hotel. Located within a canal house, the view from my window was beautiful. The room was small, but clean and cozy. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were amazing. Extremely helpful when my flight was canceled. Extremely helpful with restaurant suggestions, quarters in Amsterdam to visit and activities. The breakfast was very good. The hotel had a lovely lounge that was available to guests. The location was convenient for walking around the city. I would go back.

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.

It was so noisy, felt I was in a cardboard box.
