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."

"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

Lonely PlanetTop choice
"In vintage Amsterdam fashion, squatters took over this former newspaper building, and an art community developed." Full review
Fodor's "The former Volkskrant newspaper plant, which closed in 2007, has been completely transformed into an affordable, hip space to stay, work, drink, dance, do yoga, and even get your hair cut." Full review

"The 172-room Volkshotel is a cool, trendy mid-range hotel with a youthful atmosphere and a stylish interior design." 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"
