Leonardo Eden Hotel Amsterdam City Center
"The room was small with no views only view to the very close building… and we could ear all night long people talking…"
Radisson Blu Hotel, Amsterdam City Center
"every thing very good and clean room"
DoubleTree by Hilton Amsterdam Centraal Station
"I found the room dark. Lighting could be better. Love the bathroom mirror. 💖Love the cookie treat. 👍 Towels were obviously showing wear and tear/ not white anymore. Location is perfect for our needs. Luminaire was a nice treat. Close to central station a big plus. Oh, the cover blanket/ sheets were tucked down that it was hard/ couldn’t pull it up to neck level. LOL!"

Kimpton De Witt Amsterdam by IHG
"This is the only hotel I stay in when I come to Amsterdam. Location wise it’s perfect - a short walk from Centraal station and right in the middle of the shops. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. We asked for a room change because we wanted a walk in shower and it was arranged with zero fuss. Looking forward to my next stay."

"The hotel is situated in a lovely quiet neighbourhood and is an easy walk to all the main city centre sights. The staff at the hotel were very kind and accommodating. Our room was light and spacious and was perfect as a family of four. Breakfast was excellent - lots of choice and again the staff were very friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and would certainly return."
