This is a world class hotel with amazing service. Perfect for the business traveler or a couple getting away for a few days. From the Michelin restaurant to the rooms all with sunflower shower heads - it's all the best. The staff are highly trained and provide impeccable service. (The only exception was the staff in the atrium where ordering... more

The Amstel is a beautiful hotel of great quality. Rooms and public areas are impressive and the staff is really great, especially the concierge. The location is beautiful however a little bit inconvenient if you want to see Amsterdam. more

One of the most pleasant features of this hotel is that there are few rooms compared with the amount of public space, so that the hotel mostly feels quiet and peaceful. The comprehensive national smoking ban in effect since 1 July 2008 has taken care of what used to be a huge discomfort for the non smoking guests. The rooms... more

The good: The Amstel Hotel is a great hotel and is probably the best known hotel in the Netherlands. The building is beautiful and location is great if you are looking for a more quit area on the canals. Management has done a great job with the staff in recent years. These days staff is very friendly and attentive. Great,... more

The hotel is sensational (huge rooms, great service, great view) but in a terrible location if you're there to sightsee or otherwise enjoy the canal zone. Also no alternatives to the amazingly overpriced Intercontinental breakfast - more on that later. It's just too far away - can't walk, and you have to take two trams get back to the hotel... more

Fantastic hotel. All the concierge are very helpful. Hotel is classy and expensive but worth it. I stayed 2 times in one month at this hotel and loved it more and more. The view from my room was breathtaking. Room service was great. more

Overall a very nice hotel. The room was fairly large by European city standards, and everything in the room was of the highest quality. Although, I must say that this hotel was actually a little “too fancy” for our tastes. Among the amenities offered was a “pillow menu” with about 6 different options to chose from, overnight shoe polishing service,... more

I check out of the Hotel Pulitzer and into the Amstel. And now I could breathe! A beautiful and clean hotel. The location is average. It is a taxi ride, a metro ride, or a 20 minute walk to anything nearby. But the rooms are spacious and large. The service from the staff was well above average. The concierge was... more

Simply the best! Whenever I have to spend time in Amsterdam, I stay at this fabulous hotel. Granted, it is not cheap but you get your money's worth, be it for the friendliness of the staff, the beauty of the dining rooms right next to the river or the sumptuous bedrooms. The only small complaint concerns the choice of programs... more
