Great location; beautiful historic building with very modern facilities.
Pros:

Very warm and welcome check in and guest experience overall including in the restaurant. In a beautiful historic building. The room was modern with a lovely traditional pitched roof which made for a unique stay and had everything you could need. Very close to trams to take you anywhere in the city swiftly. Lots of amenities inc. gyms, shops restaurants cafes around you so no need to travel far for anything. A very convenient and safe neighbourhood.

Cons:

The pitched roof extended to the shower so this room was not the most suitable for my tall family member. I would suggest flagging this in advance.

看HOOK的影片來住大學改造的飯店，來荷蘭最堅持要訂的房間，很喜歡！
Pros:

1. 櫃檯接待人員會多國語言，非常專業。整體應對都相當得體且幽默。大推瑞秋！
2. 可以先寄放行李、大廳有小會客室，餅乾跟水提供可以稍作休息。

Cons:

1. 真的沒有天花板的燈！晚上要做事的人會稍微不方便～

Zunächst etwas kompliziert, aber insgesamt sehr erfreulich
Pros:

Insgesamt sehr gut.

Cons:

Es gab zeitaufwändige Probleme mit dem an sich freundlichen und bemühten Personal, ihre Aufgaben umzusetzen.
Die geringere Effizienz wurde jedoch großzügige Kulanz (kostenloses Frühstück) mehr als kompensiert.
Wir würden uns am Amsterdam Aufenthalt wieder dieses Hotel.

Historically Uncomfortable
Pros:

Daughter and I stayed here for a brief visit to Amsterdam. I will allow that it is centrally located. It is a “historic property” meaning the rooms “differ from the styles found in modern hotels”. (Their words, not mine). We found our room to be exceptionally uncomfortable. The sleeping area was separated from the living area and restrooms by 20 stairs. Any time someone needed to use the restroom, motion detectors lit the entire suite, waking everyone. We were not informed when making reservations or upon check-in that the room required the use of stairs to get to the sleeping area. This was problematic due to personal mobility issues due to a disease.

I am amazed and disappointed Marriott would allow this property to be part of their Autograph Collection. There are better, more comfortable properties nearby with better rates.

Will not stay here again.

The best service tops perfection
Pros:

“ The best service tops perfection”
We’ve had a lovely stay at The College Hotel.
We really like what they have done to the rooms during the renovation. We like the light themes better than the previous dark ones. And the bed sleeps great: not too hard, not too soft, just super. And the double shower is great too.

Was our stay perfect?
No, it wasn’t: there was a small electricity problem that caused the lights in the lights in the bathroom to be not working in the morning. But the way the staff handled that in the best possible way. They owned it and aced it. With lovely, clear communication, supported by nice little cards, they fixed it, gave feedback and compensated us. And not just one person, they all did at all stations, weather Arif at reception, Irene with housekeeping, Robert the technical service guy, the breakfast staff, the proactive trainees, just everywhere and everyone. They all proved that besides doing the best job you can, striving for the best service always tops striving for perfection.

Note: the room scent you can select at check in and the nice quiet atmosphere in the building create a nice calm vibe throughout the whole hotel.

We highly recommend the College Hotel. It’s one of our favourite places to stay in Europe!

Pros:

Atmosphere. Nice historical building. Good staff, alert and willing to offer assistance.

Cons:

Not easy to access with a car.
It will be better if you have a handle in the shower for persons with disabilities and difficulties to keep balance.
