Hotel De Hallen

At the time of writing this review, Hotel de Hallen is still very new and hip. It’s situated in an amazing building that not so long ago used to be a huge tram shed. It brings great atmosphere to the hotel. Everything about it is nice in a designy way. Rooms are nice, not crazy creative, but still cool and very comfortable. In the same building as the hotel you’ll find a really nice cinema and the amazing Foodhallen, a MUST visit. Check the reviews. The hotel by the way serves very nice food too and staff is very friendly. Even if you’re not staying over, they’ll let you use their comfty corners, where you can sit back and relax or plug in your laptop and do some work.

Awesome hotel. I’d recommend this place to anyone visiting Amsterdam.
The rooms are typical size for European hotels, in my opinion, and the beds are super comfortable (with especially poofy pillows). The staff at the hotel was wonderfully hospitable, helping with tram tickets/​metro passes (at a discount), directions, mail (I sent postcards back to my office), scheduling a taxi to the airport, and just generally keeping the hotel clean and wonderfully welcoming.
The thing about the hotel is that it’s also located in a fairly residential area, so the noise level is minimal (and though there was a construction area near the hotel, we never heard any construction going on during out stay — and, humorously enough, used the large crane in the construction area as a bit of a «north star» in initially learning our way around this portion of Amsterdam). The tram is easily accessible in a variety of directions though, allowing for you to get to the Central Station, Museumplein, or a number of different locations within just a couple minutes.
An additional benefit? There’s a food hall pretty much right next door. While I recommend checking out the neighborhood restaurants (there are plenty of them — as well as a Farmer’s Market about a block away, seemingly open from 10am-​4pm every weekday), the food hall accounts for a variety of different eatery options with just a quick walk next door.
Honestly, this unique little hotel is JUST what I would have hoped for during my stay in Amsterdam. The décor is unique and playful, the staff is fantastic, the location is great, and everything is clean and tidy.
TL;DR This place is awesome. STAY HERE. You won’t regret it. :) If I ever get back to Amsterdam then I won’t hesitate to stay at the Hotel de Hallen again either.

New property in a renovated warehouse. Super cool design. The rooms are clean, well designed and very comfortable. We got adjoining rooms with our kids ages 7 and 9. They loved the hotel. Breakfast, restaurant and bar are all really good and tasty. Staff are very helpful. Nothing negative about this place other than be prepared to pay taxi fares of 10 to 15 euros to get to the center of the city.

Beautiful design, great location. A little bit bizarre for rooms that don’t have windows. Also sound can be a bit much for sleeping. Huge tub, comfy bed. Decent prices. Overall a cool spot if you get a good deal.

I really wish more hotels were like this. The hospitality was phenomenal. I had been emailing with the reception staff asking questions and trying to ensure that everything for our honeymoon stay was simply perfect. They went above and beyond my expectations with everything. They even set up a taxi to pick us up at the airport after our long flight.
Our room was ready upon arrival which was nice because we just wanted to shower and begin our adventure. The room was the perfect size for the two of us and the bed was extremely comfortable. The WiFi in the room was fantastic. The also had a computer area available for guests to use. We were on the top floor and did not hear a thing!
The ladies at the reception desk suggested that we purchase a metro pass which they had available and provided us with a map and noted the areas I asked them about. I will definitely stay here again and recommend Hotel de Hallen to all of my friends visiting Amsterdam.
Next door, there is a place called De FoodHallen which you MUST check out!

Cool surroundings. Downstairs rooms are a bit like cabins with no windows but the overall vibe in the building was one of a kind.

I did leave it to a chance for hotel choice in Amsterdam — all the booking sites offerings did not please me, so I decided to rely on hoteltonight app and play Russian roulette. Waiting for the luggage in airport, I scrolled nervously thru openings — and finally settled on De Hallen. I am happy I did. No, no — not just happy, ecstatic.
This hotel is one of a kind. Truthfully, it is a statement of modern design embracing historical space, with all comfort of guest in mind.
Built in renovated tram depot, open two-​story-​high space is mind-​blowing. Every detail is in place, every aspect is anticipated. Main atrium filled with curious sculptures, art, comfy couches, pillows and tables to hang out and relax.
Café and restaurant up front offer great food choices, and bar is open late. There is also open air seating in front of the hotel, and it’s wonderful to get a drink or cup of coffee in the morning.
I loved the open structure of the roof, the bright light of the skylights, and the art. There is even old rail still running through the restaurant, preserved with clear coating! Heavy doors still stand from old times, reminding of what once was.
Rooms are super-​quiet thanks for the service corridor running on the window side — so you get double sound proofing from hustle and bustle of busy Amsterdam life. Rooms are modern, and super-​clean, with all amenities, of course. Service desk call you once a day to check if you need anything, and arrange anything you need — be it discounted tickets to museums, reservations or taxi.
It is pretty close to the great restaurants, parks and museums, and short ride on the tram will get you easily to city center or train station.
Note: this area is still under construction, so do expect some of that while walking around the neighborhood.

Das noch sehr neue Hotel überzeugt durch ein sehr frisches Design. Der Innenausbau der alten Markthalle erinnert an Stände. Sehr cool gemacht.
Die Inneneinrichtung ist klar, modern und funktionabel. Der im Hotel dominierende Betonfussboden sieht cool aus, ist aber (im Mai) relativ kühl und führt leider auch dazu, dass man Trittgeräusche — auch von außen — hört.
Die Betten empfand ich als relativ weich, habe aber dennoch sehr gut dort geschlafen.
Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und insgesamt ist das Hotel sehr serviceorientiert. Freies — und vor allem auch schnelles — W-​LAN war selbstverständlich, ebenso wie eine Espressomaschine auf dem Zimmer.
Insgesamt ein schöner Aufenthalt.
