Conscious Hotel Museum Square

Stayed for 4 nights and the rooms were very comfortable, beds perfect. They were thoughtful to place our two rooms side by side therefore giving us a complementary upgrade for one of the rooms. As far as customer service is concerned there are improvements that can be made. Shocked at the lack of customer service. One of the rooms had a toilet that was constantly running, when I mentioned that to a front end staff she said “oh”. No further inquiries by her, no I’ll have someone look into it. She just did not care. Staff were not helpful with navigating the city, just kept pushing their bike rentals. They do not offer umbrellas. The way/tone a staff member spoke to us was less than acceptable. This was the end of a long vacation with exemplary service at all our stays so perhaps the bar was set too high but good customer service should be easy …..if you care.

I stayed one night at Conscious Hotel and I had a great experience as all the staff is amazing, very welcoming and kind, I was traveling alone and I got almost all my requests anticipated! Special thanks to the lovely ladies at reception and at service room. The room was really clean, good space with design forniture (I loved the steel blue desk!) the welcome basket in the room had top quality products like Clipper teas. I hope to come back soon for more days to experience bike renting too and to enjoy the lovely restaurants in the neighborhood. Ciao!

Stayed here for 3 nights. Very easy check in/ out with a welcoming staff. The lobby is cozy and while we never ate breakfast here- it always smelled amazing. We appreciated the complimentary wine and snacks offered 5 to 7 pm. I give our room 3 stars because we were located on the ground floor facing the street and could never open our curtains because you literally had no privacy if we opened them. As a result our room was quite dark- not really an issue because who spends all day in their hotel room, anyways. The feel of the room is modern utilitarian and the lighting is horrible for makeup, ladies. Despite being on the ground floor, the Museum Square area is quiet enough we were able to sleep well. I would definitely stay here again but would request a different room.

Stayed here with family and had the best time. Staff were absolutely wonderful, nothing was a problem. They upgraded our rooms without asking so we could have rooms next to each other. Highly recommend.

Great location, large clean rooms and friendly staff. There was nothing extremely good nor extremely bad about the hotel. Albert Heijn is literally a 5 minute walk. The nearest tram station is also 5 minute walk so you could essentially get to Central Amsterdam in 10 minutes. This is also a walking distance on good weathers. (We didn't do it as we were travelling there during the winter.) ||The only thing we are giving this an average is that since it's mediocre then the room rates become the discounting factor. (Although during the time we visited the rates were higher than average everywhere) ||This is a good hotel for people looking to be close enough to central but away from the crowd and noise.

The Conscious Hotel Museum Square packs a lot into a boutique hotel. The team is welcoming from the moment the front door opens. The digital check-in process is simple and seamless. The multi-use common space serves as a reception area, meal area, and an all-day gathering space. Rehka makes you feel at home, especially with her fresh, warm morning croissants. While the rooms are contemporary and simple, everything needed is provided, and the team gladly provides replacements upon request. Will absolutely be returning to the Conscious Hotel Museum Square.

If cleanliness is not a priority for you, this hotel might be suitable. We had booked 2 nights at this place, which I would compare more to a hostel than a real hotel. Upon arrival, we first noticed urine stains on the toilet bowl. After informing the reception, we were told that this issue would be resolved upon our return from our walk in Amsterdam. Coming back, we were surprised to find that only a deodorizer had been sprayed in the toilet, but the urine stain remained. My partner had to go down again and ask for the necessary cleaning to be done. Paying a bit more attention to the room, we noticed that it simply had not been cleaned. From the bathroom to the bedroom, all the furniture was still covered with a nice layer of dust. We asked for a refund so that we could leave for another hotel or at least change rooms to enjoy our weekend properly. The manager only offered us breakfast, which we declined, simply not trusting their hygiene standards. We chose to cut our stay in Amsterdam short and lost one hotel night.

Stayed here and on the first night the fire alarm went off for minutes around 4am, waking everybody up. The second night the fire alarm went off again around 5am although for only a few seconds. Other guests said the breakfast kitchen was the culprit for the alarm. That being said, the organic breakfast was amazing! The shower door had a construction flaw that is not tight and spills water to the bathroom floor. Sure enough they provided extra towels for this issue. The room was spacious. Location was great and the staffs were awesome!

Great hotel. Very friendly people. Clean, Smart, Close to US consulate, Rijksmuseum, PC Hoofdstraat, but without the crazy busyness. Highly recommend

We loved this place. We thought everyone was very kind and our room was lovely- and large. The shower was fantastic with some of the best water pressure I've had anywhere. It was tempting to take a couple of showers a day. There is a school near the hotel- so if you sleep late the noise of children might bother you if you don't use earplugs. We are early risers, so it was not a problem. The breakfast was wonderful and served in a beautiful setting. The back patio is really peaceful and pretty- as is the inside eating area. Coffee and tea were delicious. The wine happy hour was a lot of fun. I loved the area. There's a store quite close and of course the symphony is just down the street and the Rijksmuseum is an easy walk. The Vondelpark is very close and we enjoyed a stroll there in the mornings. Lots of wonderful eateries around and a fun (small) farmer's market just a block away. We have stayed in many places in Amsterdam but this place is my favorite. It was the best location for price and the most comfortable and the friendliest.

I had a quick, but nice stay at the Conscious Hotel Museum Square. Its a bit away from downtown, but 10-15 min walk from many museums as well as the tram. They have an all-digital process for check-in and out, but when checking-in, I prefer to deal with a person to address questions etc. Lucky an attendant was available when I was checking-in and she was very accommodating. The room was exactly as advertised! I felt much relieved, as at times pictures can be deceiving. It was spacious, with a sleek modern feel to it. There was a small safe as well as a bar to hang clothing (not a proper closet, which is common in Europe). Note there was no refrigerator or microwave. My room was on the first floor right next to the elevators, which I thought was going to be problematic but I actually didn't hear anything at all (or maybe they had low occupancy at the time?). My only qualm was that the room did not have AC! The receptionist explained that they are a "flat roof building" where the heat is expected to rise, and only the 4th floor rooms have AC. The balcony door does open but since there is no screen, I was weary of bugs and did not keep it open all night. The room was equipped with a fan but I still woke up drenched in sweat.

My family of four had two excellent rooms near one another for a four-night stay to primarily visit the nearby museum district and it did not disappoint. Before I post more thought it is imperative that visitors secure tickets to the art museums in advance. My son-in-law spoke with several guests who arrived without tickets and were unable to see the Vermeer and the Van Gogh exhibits as they were sold out. The museums are very close to the hotel - just a few minutes walk. The Rijks Museum is large and filled with a variety of art. We saw the Vermeer exhibit there. The Van Gogh Museum is among the best I've ever been to. Be prepared for large crowds of photo-taking tourists at all the museums. There is a very convenient underground grocery store right next to the Stedelijk Museum that is fully stocked with whatever you need and the prices were exceptionally low compared to U.S. grocery stores. For example, you will find an ample selection of excellent wines at very low prices. I bought an exceptional red from Spain for 5.99 Euros. Speaking of Euros, you don't need any. Many places will not even accept cash. All you need is a chip card for everything. Tipping was never expected or pressed for. Most taxis to the downtown area (The Anne Frank and the Rembrandt House, for example) were right at 20 Euros each way to and from the hotel. Unless you're a frequent and confident bicycle rider I don't recommend renting one to get around. The locals ride very fast and can be unforgiving if you stray into the bike lane when walking. If art is what you're going for then this has to be the best hotel option for art lovers. I highly recommend it.

I just finished a week at the Conscious Hotel at Museum Square. I had only one problem with the hotel and will mention at the end of this review. The location was excellent for walking to the museums. I have an elderly parent that joined me and she was able to walk to and from the Rijksmuseum and Van Gough Museum. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms had newer fixtures. The shower was large for a European hotel. I enjoyed being able to have breakfast at the hotel prior to venturing out around Amsterdam. Only gripes I had about my stay was the communication when booking and the checking out process. When I initially book the room in January, I didn't get much of a response from the hotel. I did receive a booking number, but not mention of the dates I would be there and the amount. When trying to communicate through their website, I didn't find they were very responsive. It took awhile to get an email confirmation with the dates associated with my reservation. The checking out process should have been simple, but the front desk mixed my room up with a family member. Even after letting them know multiple times, they still couldn't get it right. The other problem I ran into was getting charged twice. I book back in January/February and was charged the full amount for just the room. When I checked out, Conscious Hotel charged again. I tried to contact them via their website, and no response back. I had to call my credit card company to dispute the double charging. My message to the hotel is I had a great time and enjoyed most of my services; however, you need to improve on your administrative functions at the front desk. Your staff struggle with being able to print out receipts, and none of your staff could get my room number correct. I do want to return to your hotel, but you will need to make an effort to apologize for my inconvenience and improve on your reservation check out process.

Not bad~ Loved the smile we got from the hotel concierge when we first checked in around 10pm on a Saturday night. It definitely gave us a positive energy :) and made us want to go out and explore the city right away! The rooms were clean and spacious and the beds were very comfortable. I also liked the complimentary breakfast~ Their sausage was really good and I also appreciated the cold cuts an the cheese~ I do wish that I stayed a little more inland since the museum square was a bit further away from the main area with the canals, but it wasn't too far. The hotel is very close to all the museums which works because you want to go to the museums during the day and slowly walk up to the canal areas later in the day. (The other Conscious hotel in Vondelpark is even further away fyi)

I had an excellent 2-nights stay! The staff is very friendly and helpful, the housekeeper in particular was so energetic and friendly she lit up the room! The breakfast is delicious (all organic), the common area on the ground floor is cosy and perfect for a chilled glass of wine or beer at the end of the day! The room are simple, could do with an update (windows let in some cold air), but are very comfortable and clean! I would definitely stay here again!

Excellent hotel!! Prime location - walking distance to Rijksmuseum, Concert Hall, Van Gogh, ... The hosts are genuinely personable, helpful, affable, engaging. Maya and Colin went out of their way to show us the way of parking sensibly and economically in Amsterdam. Colin recommended some great eating venues, just an all around great guy. Kudos to this hotel and the people who run it effortlessly and paperless-ly!!

Our experience there was delightful. The room was clean and cozy. And the location alongside all the museums was great. But what really made the stay wonderful was the staff. Every single person we interacted with was welcoming, warm and helpful. It was like staying with friends. We loved our stay in Amsterdam and the hotel made that stay even better. Could not recommend it more highly

John Q's review is so comprehensive that I really don't have much to add, but I will say that I enjoyed my two-night stay here and that I didn't mind the location being a little away from the center, particularly since I rented a bike from the hotel (10 euro a day, if I remember correctly) and since I was lucky enough to have in rain during my day. Then again, if you're going to be going out late at night, and you don't want to bike or take a taxi, you'll find that the late-night transit service (regular service ends around 12:30a) isn't ideal for this location.
