Amazing 4th visit to this beautiful hotel
Pros:

It was my fourth stay at this hotel for a long weekend, and it continues to be an excellent experience. The hotel offers a fantastic location and an impressive building with rich history and architecture.

What truly sets it apart is the team. From reception to the breakfast room, bar and spa, everyone was consistently friendly, helpful and professional. A few people stood out in particular: Lara at reception, who was always polite, warm and eager to assist; Esther from the breakfast team, who was delightful and offered great recommendations both for food and activities in the city; and Florin, the star of the breakfast team, whose positivity is contagious and who always goes above and beyond.

Although I couldn’t catch the names of everyone I interacted with, every team member was smiling, attentive and helpful. The team is undoubtedly the hotel’s greatest asset.

I highly recommend taking the breakfast: the food is fantastic and the selection is impressive. And don’t hesitate to ask for bubbles, as they serve a lovely Crémant.

We also enjoyed the spa, which is relaxing and well equipped with a swimming pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and gym.

We were a group of four staying for a long weekend, and we will definitely be back.

Stunning property with very attentive staff in a great location.
Pros:

One of the most comfortable beds. Fabulous pillows and a mattress topper that envelopes you. Location is also excellent to explore the city and access public transport.

Cons:

We had a canal side room, I am a light sleeper and the constant noise from tourists woke me up several times. I would return but for a courtyard room.

We had an amazing time and have been recommending this hotel to friends
Pros:

Amazingly clean and great central location - staff absolutely brilliant!

Cons:

Our last day saw an influx of a conference who overtook every single lounge area leaving nowhere at all for us to sit which was unfortunate. In future I would recommend restricting one lounge space for other guests away from them.

Refined, calm and full of character
Pros:

We had a very enjoyable stay at The Grand Amsterdam. Overall, a calm and elegant hotel with a strong sense of history.

We stayed in the Lodewijck Napoleon Suite. Very spacious. High ceilings, exposed beams, and a well thought-out layout. Separate living, dining, and sleeping areas make the suite feel more like an apartment than a hotel room. The bed was extremely comfortable. Bathrooms were generous and well equipped. Everything felt quiet and private.

The butler service deserves special mention. Discreet, friendly, and genuinely helpful. Assistance with unpacking and packing our luggage was much appreciated and added a sense of ease to the stay. We also joined a short historical tour of the hotel, which was informative and well presented. A nice way to understand the building and its past without it feeling overly staged.

Food and beverage were consistently strong. Breakfast via room service was of excellent quality. Well prepared, fresh, and delivered exactly as ordered. Dining at Bridges was another highlight. The signature menu was impressive, especially the fish filleted tableside. A rare touch these days and a clear sign of real culinary skill.

We also enjoyed Afternoon Tea in the Library. The setting is beautiful and very relaxed. The quality of the food was excellent. The service, while friendly, could have been a bit quicker and better coordinated. Still, the overall experience was very positive.

One small point for improvement would be the arrival and check-in process. All details had been provided in advance and our driver announced us ahead of arrival. A smoother in-suite check-in, allowing guests to go directly from the car to the room, would have felt more appropriate at this level and avoided waiting at reception. This is a minor note, but worth mentioning.

Overall, a very pleasant and refined stay at The Grand. A hotel with character, strong service culture, and a clear sense of confidence. We would gladly return.

Very disappointing
Pros:

Reading some of the tripadvisor reviews I wonder have I strayed into a parallel universe and stayed at a different hotel? While the hotel is perfectly serviceable, it is really nothing out of the ordinary. The staff were professional but not overly friendly. On most occasions they hardly acknowledged you walking through reception. The reception areas are nicely decorated but the corridors and rooms are tired, tired, tired. Our bathroom was quite stained and had an unpleasant aroma. The carpets were worn and the pillows only fit for the bin. Much is made of their cloud like beds and it was like sleeping in a marshmallow - but not in a good way. Far too soft. As I knew my husband would have to do some work when we were there I chose the hotel as it had a pool which I looked forward to using. I only used it once as it was so cold and the sauna was lukewarm at best - there was a steam room but no steam! The breakfast was one of the worst I have experienced in a 5 star hotel. Service was slow and when it arrived the food was cold. The buffet section was extremely basic and boring after a couple of days. I really wish we had made a better choice. If you are looking for some character in Amsterdam I am sure there are much better options.
