Having read several bad reviews of the Victoria Hotel, Amsterdam, I thought I'd better add my 2 pence worth. I recently spent two nights here after finding a bargain last minute deal on the internet.
PROS We booked a triple room, which was two twin beds and a third camp bed (added to the room after we arrived). The beds were comfy, and the room and ensuite were both spotless. The staff were exceptionally helpful and polite - one even recommended a restaurant which served vegetarian food. The swimming pool is free for guests to use, although we didn't. Despite being directly opposite the station, the rooms were lovely and quiet at night. Room service is excellent, and the food is delicious!!
CONS The walls were a bit thin - you could hear voices and televisions late at night but this was only a problem on the first night. The breakfast is horrendously expensive at 20euros, but there are plenty of lovely cheaper places nearby. You have to pay extra to use the sauna, internet etc, although I expected that (and there are plenty of internet cafes around). Oh, and watch out for the very graphic porn channel (may be a pro for some!!).
Overall a lovely hotel. I'd definitely stay there again, although I wouldn't pay their full price (over 200euros a night).
