Top hotels in Grachtengordel-West
Pulitzer Amsterdam
Love the history and character of this hotel. The service is incomparable and the staff is amazing. Bedding was very comfortable. Jansz restaurant was wonderful as was the Pulitzer Bar. I do wish our room had better lighting but that’s a minor issue. Great location! We hadn’t intentionally planned ...

Staff is all so helpful. The room i would say just weird having a number two right in the room like that. Unless you close your glass circular doors for your business. This is best for a single traveller. Definitely not a friend’s room.

Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam
I booked two rooms during the tulip season, but the weather was not favorable. Therefore, we expected heating in the rooms, and there was none in either of them. Everyone complained about the same issue. Additionally, the breakfast is not the same as in 2020; it is significantly inferior.
