Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Our favourite hotel in this price range, it has just eight rooms in a house dating back to 1652. Its rooms, named for Dutch painters, are furnished with simplicity, but all have canal views." Full review
DK Eyewitness "All rooms are en suite and no-smoking, and there is even a lift, making the Brouwer all-round great value."
Time Out "The eight neat, en-suite rooms here are named after Dutch painters and all of them look onto the Singel canal." Full review

Independent "Caters to a hip, young crowd and there’s pretty much everything you need on-site, from hairdressing, sauna and hot tub to yoga classes. The style is repurposed vintage, industrial piping"
Michelin Guide "Standard rooms are not without a charm all their own, boasting smart Continental thrift in the bedstee tradition with chic touches...they’re cozy, even handy, sounding the Volkshotel’s trademark" Full review
Independent "Swap the convenient location for a better price at Volkshotel. With dedicated workspaces, a raft of social goings-on and a rooftop hot tub and sauna"
