Volkshotel, Amsterdam: Affordable design hotel with a naughty streak

By Nina · On 25th September 2015

Set in the former HQ of the De Volkskrant newspaper, Volkshotel is an affordable design hotel with a naughty streak.  The hotel’s former life is repeatedly referenced in the newspaper print artworks and décor, but the current design theme is a real mixed bag from a myriad of eras, with some comedy signage, risqué comics and plenty to eat/see/do thrown in for good measure.

Standard rooms start from €59 for a Miss Petite, or you can check in en masse  – a Ms. Big room has space for four and costs just €139.  All rooms have huge windows and great views.

Alternatively, you can splash out a little for a Special room, each of which has been individually dreamt up by a different designer (from €139).  Stand out rooms for me were the minimalistic Japanese-inspired Bathing Bikou Room, White Bike Room (dedicated to the Dutch love for bikes, with “all parts of a bike utilized around the room”) and green and serene Cabin In The Woods.  With a full spectrum from classic to wacky, there really is something for everyone.

But it’s not all sleep at the Volkshotel.  There’s Canvas, the 7th floor bar and restaurant; Doka, the basement speakeasy cocktail bar; and Werkplaats, a spot for eating or working (there are meeting rooms available to rent for those with business to get down to).

Three barrel-style hot tubs plus a wooden sauna are up on the eighth floor for those who fancy a soak with a view, or sit-up-and-beg Dutch bikes can be hired for €12 a day, the quickest and most atmospheric way to get to the city centre for sure (there’s also a Metro stop right outside).

Volkshotel is fun, functional and affordable – a great mini break choice for the young at heart.

Ready to run: Vondelpark is about 3km from Volkshotel, and is a great place to run or workout – just watch out for the thousands of cyclists!

  • SF is pouring rain (wtf California). Mexico was better
  • Another delightful stay at  @hotelsancristobal 
  • Out of office on  @hotelsancristobal  Baja, Mexico
  • We found THE MOST AMAZING hidden bar in Austin, but they have a strict no photos rule, so you'll have to make do with this picture of the (actually pretty cool) outside wall... Founded by an Englishman and an Irishman, and serving some of the best drinks we've ever had - we went twice during our 5 day trip. Look up Here Nor There (book via the app; promise it's worth it)  #HYHOIinAustin 
  • New Austin brunch fave: Mattie's. A grand white house with wraparound porch, set amongst a grove of Texas Live Oaks. (Unsurprisingly it's a popular wedding venue) Stunning interiors, bottomless coffee and massive plates of French toast ☕ that's the way to my heart!  @mattiesaustin 
  • Caffeinating in my most favourite American city ☕  @mananaatx   @southcongresshotel   #HYHOIinAustin 
  • Last weekend I ran with  @sfrunco  in the Marin Headlands - one of the things I most wanted to do upon moving to California. So cool to start in the fog, and then top out above the clouds ☁️ 11 miles, 2000 ft of elevation ⚡✌
