Grand luxury and comfort in a quiet hotel in the historic center of Amsterdam
Pros:

Everything went well. very comfortable stay with helpful staff

Cons:

I was in a room that was split level, so I didn't care for having to navigate going up steps in the dark at night to use the toilet.

Pros:

I had an exceptional stay at the Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam. The experience was truly wonderful from start to finish.

The staff were incredibly welcoming, professional, and always smiling, which made the stay even more enjoyable. A special mention to the concierge service, who were attentive, helpful, and always ready to assist with any request.

Everything was impeccable: the comfort, the quality of service, and the attention to detail. Absolutely nothing to complain about.

Their restaurant, Oriole, is by far my favorite restaurant in Amsterdam, the food and atmosphere are outstanding. The breakfast is also excellent, with a great selection and high-quality products.

I highly recommend this hotel for an unforgettable stay in Amsterdam.

Vacanze ad Amsterdam
Pros:

After more than 30 years of traveling around the world, this is the first time I find myself reviewing a 5-star hotel that, in reality, does not live up to its rating.

The property is dated, poorly maintained, and far below the standards one would expect from this category. The rooms are plain and not particularly clean, while the minibar is practically empty. The bathroom is also disappointing, with very low-quality toiletries.

Overall, there is a complete lack of the comfort and attention to detail that should define a true 5-star experience.

The only positive aspect is the staff: at breakfast, Florin stands out for his professionalism and friendliness, and the reception team is also helpful and competent.

A disappointing experience and not in line with expectations.

Great city break!
Pros:

Amazing and convenient location! Loved the hotel so much! Staff were wonderful and it had a lot of history to it! It is in the city centre! Perfect for a weekend getaway. I will definitely come back!

Cons:

Breakfast was very limited and did not serve hot food except for omelette. It was not worth €55 per person.

Amazing stay!!!
Pros:

What an amazing stay from start to finish.
I can not emphasize the quality of the staff at this property & how accommodating they all were.
Our Junior Suite was well appointed & quite spacious for Amsterdam/Europe.
Location: Super central, close to the palace, museums & rld. Totally walkable.

Definitely stay there. Will be our goto when travelling to Amsterdam.
