Michelin Guide "Communal areas, bedrooms and conference room in a decidedly contemporary style."
Frommer's "Even the smallest rooms -- some are small even by Dutch standards -- utilize clever design to maximize the available space, so they don't feel cramped." Full review
Fodor's "Everything about this hip hostelry instills calm, from the light-and-flower-filled lounges with their sumptuous couches to the garden." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Eighty-six rooms occupy seven 19th-century mansions to form Hotel Vondel, which is installed in the museum district of the Dutch capitol." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Near the museums and designer shops, this stylish non-smoking place is decorated throughout with art, and it appeals to a chic crowd."
Star Service "This eclectic outpost is composed of seven pretty brick town houses and presents visitors with one of the most sophisticated boutique backgrounds in the city." Full review
Time Out "Another hidden gem near museums and upmarket shopping opportunities, this thoroughly chic place is covered with art and boasts a lovely decked garden." Full review
Lonely Planet "Rooms have a dark and subdued calm with comfy decor (lots of plush grey), and guests can lounge next to goldfish and koi ponds in the Zen-like back gardens." Full review
OysterUpscale

Frommer's "Maybe too close to the Red Light District for some people's taste, and on a slightly seedy street, the Winston is a step up from grungy and has a hang-loose, alternative rep." Full review
Lonely Planet "Most rooms are 'art' rooms: local artists were given free rein, with results from super-edgy (entirely stainless steel) and playful to questionably raunchy." Full review
Rough Guide "Part of the St Christopher’s Inns chain, this self-consciously young and cool hotel has funky rooms decorated with crazy art, and a busy ground-floor bar that has regular live music."
OysterBudget
"People book a room at the St Christopher's at Winston Hotel to have fun and mingle with like-minded revelers." Full review
Time Out "Now part of St Christopher's Inns, a UK-based hostel chain, the legendary Winston still manages to maintain its youthful, party-loving atmosphere and arty rooms." Full review
Let's Go "Hotel Winston feels more modern and continental than the other boozing-and- snoozing complexes on the street, thanks in part to the attached sleek bar and trendy club." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"Hip, high-energy, with a popular bar and club attached, and very much part of the red-light district: this is a place to party, not for early nights or a quiet break." Full review
