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.

Period prestige with exceptional service
Pros:

Fantastic location – everything is an easy walk.

Service at this hotel is special, everyone operates at a high standard. From Andrei who checked us in to Jonathan the Concierge (he knows his stuff) to the lady in the bar (lives in Rotterdam), the French woman in the restaurant and the gentleman who controls the restaurants (what a character).

The hotel is admittedly on the tired side, and a renovation has already commenced (albeit there is impact on guests). Having said that, the charm of the hotel and the size of the room work well add the overall experience. Every now and again there is a bit of a drain smell that wafts into the room but its brief and an open window resolves it quickly. The red light district is a couple of hundred metres down the road, but it doesn’t negatively impact the experience in any way.

There are lots of food options and coffee shops nearby (speak to Jonathan). A recommendation is “Die Laaste Krummel” for breakie/ coffee/ cake. Also, the canal tour is a must.

There is a good sauna and indoor pool if you have time and the main bar nice and you can order wine off any of the restaurant menus.

Checkout was efficient. We caught an Uber to the airport and it cost us less than 30 Euros.

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.
