A difficult review to write, as I was severely disappointed on arrival, but very pleased on departure. Upon arrival (9pm at night) the receptionist confirmed they were putting us in a luxury room which is what we had booked, however, when we got to the room, it was only a superior room. I knew this as I had printed the... More

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed visiting Amsterdam. The hotel is within walking distance of all the interesting sights. The rooms are very modern, quiet and have all the usual luxury amenities. The included breakfast is excellent and the service is attentive. No hesitation to recommand srongly.

It is situated in the heart of Amsterdam. All the shopping streets as well as the attractions are at walking distance. The service of the hotel is awesome. It is a 300 year (approx) old property for which they even have a guided tour which starts at 11 in the morning. The rooms are quite morden and very tastefully done.

Although only a single night (with a welcome extended check out time) the Hotel really did impress me 100%. Staff were extremely helpful without being in your face and the level of the room was amazing. First class hotel by far and in one of the most central of locations to explore Amsterdam .....

We just stayed there for a night and we really regreted that we couldn't stay longer. The location, the service, quality of the hotel, etc... Everything was really nice. We surely will go back there wherever we have chance to get to Amsterdam.

We arrived early in the day after an overnight flight from Mumbai. They had a room but not what was guaranteed in the reservation. They said they couldn't get us into the right room until later in the day and our bags would be there waiting when we returned. We came back late afternoon and had a good room (canal... More

It's a pricey stay, but truly five-star quality. All the staff were friendly and professional. The room was elegantly furnished. The breakfast buffet offered many selections, a great way to start the day. The hotel is within a 15 minute walk to train station, a short walk to Dam Square. The only issue was the noise from the street. I... More

In Amsterdam for a conference held here, this hotel was beautiful in terms of decor and heritage. The interior of the hotel, the photographs of the celeb guests stayed here, the ambience and the inner courtyard with the mosaic benches are all a piece of art.
