The hotel is situated right in the center of the Museum quarter, easy on foot access to museums, shops and restaurants. Their own restaurant cuisine is top quality and really fast service. I cannot recommend enough the sea food choices available. Absolutely try the grey shrimps 'to peel by yourself', I loved the warm bread with the appetizers as well.... More

I had read a lot of reviews arounf the amsterdam american, hotel and how it was outdated, small noisy rooms and stuffy staff etc, this was not my reality, I was given a a decent sized room, the staff were proffessional, efficient without being rigid. This hotel has wasnt built yesterday, however that for me is part of the charm,... More

I booked a 3 night break in this hotel. The hotel itself is ok and the staff were nice. Problem is it's under renovation at the moment. The view from our first room was of scaffolding and our second room had a great view but was right beside where the work was taking place. The work started at 8am each... More

Since I only stayed for one night because on business, I did merely experience a short part of the hotel. But my room (no. 312) was not impressive, and not nearly as neat and modern as the home page shows. Still good or ok... I think I got one of the old rooms, with paint flaking, and some wear and...

Stayed over Christmas 2012. Location was great but the room was just odd. Black walls, fake white leather furniture, and a larger than life sized picture of a bikini clad close up woman on the wall. Very strange, not relaxing or inviting. Couch you could only sit on unless you were under 4 feet tall. Accommodated our very early arrival... More

Superb location, very nice service at reception desk, Art Deco Restaurant, lively bar. But: we payed more than enough in holiday period for a deluxe room that was too small, the room of one of us was not yet cleaned at 5 PM for two consecutive days, no warm water at first night (well solved the next day). We had... More

We were encouraged to stay here by other reviews and asked for a quiet room as my partner has chronic ill-health. We were given a tiny dark room with building work happening right outside the window. We complained and were given another room which had natural light and a terrace. The terrace had two massive extractor fans operating above it... More

I was glad to get a room near the theatre and the museums for one night in Amsterdam..reading other reviews of the Hotel American I expected a disturbed night and also a lukewarm reception. Right and wrong.. The girl at the desk could not have been more charming and the concierge who took our things until the room was ready... More

I have stayed at this hotel several times, but now had a bad experience with a room (nr 324) at the front side. The noise from the Leidseplein (particularly the trams) kept me awake, as did noises from other rooms and the (creacking) floor above. Moreover, the airco was not working and the instructions were for another control device than... More
