Hotel Iron Horse Amsterdam - Historic Police Building with Modern Rooms near Vondelpark

Located in a former mounted police building on Overtoom street, this 3-star Amsterdam hotel features horse-themed decor throughout its modern interior. The Iron Horse occupies a monumental structure in the Oud-West district, characterized by early-1900s architecture, quirky design shops, and craft coffee spots. Each room includes a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, work desk, and a modern bathroom with shower, toilet, and hairdryer. The property stands 0.5 miles from Vondelpark and 0.5 miles from both the Van Gogh Museum and The Concertgebouw. Five restaurants operate within 0.3 miles, including Umami by Han and Thai Restaurant Sawaddee Ka. Bus 197 connects directly to Schiphol Airport from nearby Leidse Square, while trams 1, 2, and 5 provide transport to central Amsterdam.

Pros

Reception staff provides local dining and activity recommendations

Bicycle rental service available for city exploration

Luggage storage offered before check-in and after check-out

Building's historic character creates unique room layouts

Cons

Located 1.5 miles from Red Light District and Artis

“The horse theme nods to the building's past as former police headquarters. It's near the Museum Quarter, so major attractions are an easy walk or tram ride away. I particularly appreciate the free Wi-Fi and in-room beverage facilities, which make a comfortable base for exploring the city.”

I loved how close it was to everything! the hotel is near the bus stop going to and from the airport. there is also a supermarket next door and many restaurants down the street near the park. the staff was beyond lovely. I really appreciated her recommendations for sightseeing. she helped me decide what i wanted to do and booked activities (what a thoughtful thing to do!).
our room was a bit stuffy (the ventilation fan was not really working).

non-functioning keysrude staff
My room faced an outdoor passage where people smoked. i couldn't open the window or curtains because i would have been in full view of everyone. also, i had several issues with the door keys. I was stuck outside my room for half an hour with my belongings. it seemed the access cards rarely worked and the staff didn't apologize, instead acting cold and annoyed by the situation (i found that quite rude).
