Conscious Hotel Museum Square

This was our favorite hotel we have ever stayed in. The staff were more than accommodating (helped us check in super early for free & gave us free delicious lattes our first day; they had an upgraded room available so she gave us that as well!) and super friendly. They were so attentive and helpful. The room was beautiful and extremely clean with a beautiful view of the Amsterdam streets. It is very close to bus and tram stops, as well as many restaurants and cafes. If we ever come back to. Amsterdam, we will definitely stay here again!

This hotel is exceptionally well-located. The breakfast was delicious, the room was tidy and clean. It was a good size for us. That said, the absolute charm of the hotel is its staff! Of particular mention is Sindhura. She really made a difference in our stay because she was willing to make recommendations, answer all our questions and make us feel very welcome. We are world travelers and have never come across someone with her willingness to go the extra mile. She is the consummate professional and we are so grateful that our paths crossed. Thank you, Sindhura. Thank you, Conscious Hotel Museum Square. Amsterdam is a magnificent city. We loved it and hope to return.

My daughter and I spent 5 nights at the Conscious Hotel Museum Square. The location was excellent. A few minute walk to the tram that took us to all our destinations. The rooms were comfortable and there was a nice outside patio. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Most people don't mention the housekeeping staff in their review but I wanted to recognize Yaeli for being so friendly and making sure we had everything we needed in our room. |I would highly recommend the Conscious Museum at Museum Square on your next visit to Amsterdam!

We spent 10 nights at Conscious Hotel Museumplein & it was great. Great location very close to the Concertgebouw, we were there for the Mahler Festival, and both the Van Gogh & Rijksmuseum. The staff from housekeeping to desk & breakfast/all day bar & coffee couldn’t be friendlier & more willing to help. The location and garden are first rate. Beds are so comfortable with soft cotton sheets & duvets. Lots of excellent dining in the area. Excellent value at this most hospitable hotel with elevator.

A place that calls itself “Conscious” yet shows zero consciousness when it comes to empathy, fairness, or even basic decency. Due to an unexpected visa issue, we had to cancel our trip — something completely out of our control. We reached out on June 19, trusting the so-called 'free cancellation' policy, only to be told that the deadline was at 00:00 sharp. Not midday. Not end of day. Midnight. The type of fine print trickery you’d expect from a soulless corporation — not a hotel that markets itself as mindful and human-centered. They charged us €1057 without a blink, refused any flexibility, and didn't even offer the option to reschedule our stay. Cold, robotic, and entirely focused on one thing: your money. Spend your money somewhere that truly deserves it — not at a place that only cares about profits, not people. This hotel is a hollow brand hiding behind pretty words. Disgusting, money-first business mentality disguised as ethical hospitality!!!

The room is clean and tastefully decorated. The location is great, close to a lot of places we planned to go, close to bus stops, and itself in a quiet spot. With a toddler making a mess in the room every day, I appreciate the staff cleaning up tirelessly. The only thing is street-facing room can be noisy if you leave the window open. But it is what it is, it does not really affect our pleasant stay there.

The staff is absolutely great! Avoid room 305 as there is no bathroom door and the windows don't open. The afternoon (4 pm) reception with free wine and tiny bits of cheese is very niche and not to be mist. The museums are only 10 to 15 minutes away and there are excellent restaurants within walking distance. You reache the center of the city by tram 12 in about 12 minutes.

Welcome to “Conscious Hotel” — where the only thing conscious is their bank account balance. They proudly sell “free cancellation” but hide the deadline at midnight on the exact day you want to cancel. Try explaining a visa delay? No chance. They just charge your card €1057 and send a polite robot reply. Truly enlightened hospitality!

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.
