Hotel para repetir, lujoso y bien equipado.
Pros:

Precioso y bien decorado, muy agradable. Habitación no muy amplia pero correcta, muy cómoda. Para mi gusto edredón demasiado grueso. Ventana que se abre lo que es de agradecer.

Cons:

El precio me pareció excesivo aun siendo un gran hotel. Tambien excesivo 44 euros por desayuno.

Great hotel at a great location, but one’s specific experience may vary from stay to stay.
Pros:

Location. History. Front desk and bell services staff. Reputation.

Cons:

Our room was only accessible by four stairs cases. I do not know if there was a way to advise before hand of wife’s difficulty with stairs, but when we arrived it should have been clear to the desk that assigning us a room with multiple staircases was not a good idea. Secondly, we booked the same type of room we have stayed in previously, but the room seemed to be significantly s all than before. Lastly, room was not serviced until nearly 1700 on Sunday afternoon.

Excellent Location, but Questionable Value for Money
Pros:

Pulitzer Amsterdam – Excellent Location, but Questionable Value for Money
We stayed at the Pulitzer Amsterdam for three nights at a total cost of €2,182 plus €184 City Tax. While the hotel is positioned and priced as a five-star property, the overall experience did not consistently meet those expectations, particularly when considering value for money.
The room itself was on the smaller side, which is understandable for a central Amsterdam location, and broadly in line with expectations. However, cleanliness was an issue from arrival. There were visible “Curley” hairs on the shower wall, which we reported to management, requesting a thorough clean and supervisor inspection. Disappointingly, when we returned later, the room had not been serviced and the issue had not been fully resolved.
After raising the concern again, the response lacked the level of professionalism and attention expected at this price point. A small box with four chocolates was offered as compensation, which felt somewhat token rather than a meaningful resolution.
Breakfast was also below expectations. Tables appeared to be cleared by brushing food debris directly onto the floor, leaving visible food remnants. More concerning was the presence of ants in the sugar, which was acknowledged but not handled in a particularly reassuring or proactive manner.
Overall, there seemed to be inconsistencies in housekeeping standards and a lack of visible management or supervision. Staff were generally polite, but at times appeared relatively inexperienced and off hand for a hotel operating at this level.
On the positive side, the hotel’s location is excellent. Set along a picturesque canal, it is within easy walking distance of many of Amsterdam’s main attractions, with a good selection of cafés and boutique shops nearby. The setting itself is undoubtedly a strong point.
In summary, while the Pulitzer Amsterdam benefits from a prime location and appealing surroundings, the service and cleanliness standards did not consistently align with its five-star positioning or pricing. At this level of cost, there are likely alternative options in Amsterdam that may offer a more consistent and polished experience

Nice interesting hotel well located in Amsterdam.
Cons:

Definitely they need new towels. Current ones are quite old!
Would recommend having robes and slippers in the room. We were staying in a suite and had none.

Diamond of Amsterdam
Pros:

Dear gentle traveler, we have to review this place as 5/5. Is there 10/10? No. However, that would be more appropriate. Ok. Read on. Lovely boutique hotel, as far as this goes, on the larger size of “boutique”. However that gives you some perks, like gym, spa and ample gatherings spaces. Here is the run down of 10/10:
Lovely room.
Amazing ambiance.
Excellent bed and bedding.
Amazing view (we had canal view room).
Very friendly hotel staff, truly ambassadors of the city.
Amazing breakfast! Please try Ginger tea.
Superb bar.
Very nice spa space with kind and helpful staff.
As an additional perk, truly great places to get a coffee, hot chocolate, glass of wine or dinner, all walking distance. We are talking across the street or may be a block or two walk.
Truly great location.
Overall, loved it. We miss it already.
