I really wanted to love De Roode Leeuw having read earlier reviews, but we didn’t get off to a good start. I had booked the hotel through Otel.com for a cheap 3 night break and requested a smoking room. I arrived at around half 12pm with my husband and we were able to check straight in, which was nice. Not... More

Your review came just at the moment where we have an internal discussion about the smoking rooms. In fact. previous to the ban on smoking, guests were allowed to smoke in all rooms. Now it is only allowed in designated "smoking"rooms, according to Dutch law. This means that these rooms are only occupied buy guests who are smoking on a... More

Acceptable to have mice in the rooms.....NO WAY. We were shocked to learn that one of our employees refused to take appropriate action when you discovered mice in your room. Although we have a subscription for pest control measures, it happens sometimes that we find mice in our building when works are undertaken in buildings in the vicinity. The fact... More

We stayed here for a 2 night break in Jan 2012. The main selling point is the location - right in the middle of everything and around 5-10 mins from the centraal station. We were upgraded to a recently renovated junior suite which was lovely and had a large balcony looking over the damtrak (but not too noisy as double... More

De Roode Leeuw hotel in Amsterdam was an really nice hotel at perfect location within walking distance from many imprtant places like Madame Tussaud´s, Anne Frank Museum and also the Red Light District. Staff were really friendly and room totally adequate, a bit drafty but ok. Breakfast was good but a bit inadequate for 15 euros. I still would recommend... More

We stayed there in beginning of December 2011 for 4 nights. First of all, this hotel just sucks. It is extremly expensive for the quality and price they charge and the services they provide. It is an old hotel in an old and outdated building built in 1913. The weekend I was there for they claimed they were charging 260... More

You mention that a rate of € 260.-- is outragious but this was not at all the rate you paid. € 260.-- is a so called rack-rate and a maximum rate that we can charge but if you book through our website...
