Conscious Hotel Vondelpark

Amsterdam


The 81-room Vondelpark branch of this enviro-conscious group is a friendly place to stay, close to Overtoom restaurants and green Vondelpark. It wears its eco-heart on its sleeve, with a plant wall in the lobby, self-sustaining pot plants in the rooms, huge floral murals, and recycled materials made into artful furnishings (including pressed-cardboard bathroom bench tops). The organic breakfast buffet costs €16.

Bike hire is available at €15 for the first day, then €10 for subsequent days.
