Reviews of Amsterdam Hotels »

Good hotel for a good rate, a bit out of town but accessible

Advantages: rooms and no compulsorey 3 night stays, availability, good rates
Disadvantages: location

This hotel is inbetween the airport and Amsterdam town centre, easily accesible by bus and metro from the town centre. Has a nice foyer and dining room. Have stayed here twice on return from some exotic location at ungoldy hours of the morning. Unlike hotels in the centre, it is in a quiet residential area, and has 24 hour reception which is good for its price too. I normally take a taxi there from the airport. Rooms are a bit plain but comfortable. ...

You'll be surprised what get for your Money!

Advantages: Location, Architecture & Frienly Staff
Disadvantages: None

...nineteenth century buidings house the Rembrandt Residence Hotel, a glorious retreat from the bustling city of Amsterdam. This hotel modestly claims two stars and while the rooms are basic, they are clean and comfortably furnished and in my opinion this hotel could easily be three star property. The location is excellent, idealy situated between the Herengracht and the Singel canals, near Dam square and approximately ten minutes from the Central Train ...
...to almost floor windows adorned with heavy curtains that make the room incredibly cosy for those who need to block out the light! The windows open and are kept in place with a wooden batton, I initially found this difficult as the windows are heavy! Ask for a room on the canal if you want to watch people going past or see the lights and moon shining on the water though I presume this could be noiser in the busy season. The buffet style breakfast ...

Golden Tulip

Advantages: Location, Good Deals
Disadvantages: Over starred in my opinion

...excellent value) and found the Golden Tulip in Amsterdam offering us a room for 3 nights in their 4* hotel including breakfast for a little under 300 euros. I was sold on the executive sounding nature of the rooms, its central location, traffic free area and of course the included breakfast. We arrived at central stn a little early for our check in time of 2pm, probably somewhere near 11.30, but we turned up at the hotel anyway and asked to check ...
...(rather than on check out) and added on the 5% city tax for foreigners (keep this in mind). They were more than helpful in storing our bags for us and suggesting we could have the room a little earlier than the published time, sometime around one, which was nice. On return we checked in properly and went to the room, keycard in hand. The room was nice, clean and had all the things you would expect, tv, minibar, toiletries, etc but not what I would ...

How the other half live!

Advantages: Affordable luxury, great hotel.
Disadvantages: Looking a bit dated.

...a nice trip. Hotel Bilderberg Garden is about 2 and a half miles (if you know your way) from the heart of Amsterdam, in the district called the Old South. This is quite a 'well heeled' area and has some fantastic, if expensive shopping areas and resturaunts, as well as some nice archtiecture. Trams (number 5) go straight into town, though we walk everywhere; twenty minutes walking gets one to the Rjiks museum, 35-40 minutes, into KalvertStraat (centre). ...
...fantastic deal, with buffet breakfast and ferry tickets via Hull (we live in Yorkshire) for around £700, bearing in mind that the cheapest rooms are normally around £70 per person, per night, and breakfast is 19 Euro per person. There was only 29 people in the hotel on xmas day, fab. The hotel is very much a business orientated hotel, meeting rooms etc., and as we left we noticed a plethora of Saabs, Volvo's and BMW's parked outside as it was a ...

Lovely serene place to stay

Advantages: Luxurious surroundings, clean room, excellent service, good value.
Disadvantages: A bit of a distance from the centre but trams were quick and frequent.

In light of your comments I've added some more details, as suggested. Hope this is more helpful! When we went for a weekend in Amsterdam with another couple we got a great deal for two standard rooms at this hotel via Expedia. Situated at the junction of several canals in a quiet neighbourhood, the place is pretty much surrounded by water so all the views were lovely and there's a really serene atmosphere. From the exterior, the hotel looks slightly ...
...there's a fantastic koi pond outside the front door, all set in a sort of rockery hillock which you can walk through and around. As soon as we walked in to the attractive lobby it felt opulent, with beautiful floral displays everywhere. The staff were great and the service impeccable. During the short wait for our rooms (we wanted rooms next door to each other), we visited the Lounge Bar and had coffee and cakes while looking over the canal. Everything ...
