Wynnobel

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

Our team of Cheapos couldn't decide what we liked best about the Hotel Wynnobel. There's Jon, our friendly host, plus an excellent Vondelpark location and the smattering of antiques throughout this bed-and-breakfast.

Technophobes, welcome. Technophiles, beware! Forget about the muffled noises of a neighbor's television or the buzzing of an office fax machine. There's only one telephone—Jon's. As for the Internet—are you crazy? This is a respectable 1930s establishment. And, did we mention the Wynnobel only accepts cash? What do you get in return for this technological abstinence? Silence. We swear we heard it in the lobby, the halls, and the rooms.

The Wynnobel has 12 rooms characterized by high ceilings and somber décor. Sturdy wooden furniture, funky candlesticks, and framed sketches create a homey atmosphere. Rooms in the back face foliage in the yard. The ones in front have soundproofed windows, and face the Vondelpark.

In summary, the Wynnobel is a winner plain and simple. Call to make a reservation because the only other way to contact Jon is by post. Breakfast is served in your room.
