Hotel The Dylan, Amsterdam

Keizersgracht 384, 1016 GB Amsterdam, The Netherlands (show on map)

Expert reviews

Frommers review:

“Offering truly individual guest rooms with stripped oak floors, exposed beams, blindingly white bathrooms, and four-poster beds that you could lose a family in, Amsterdam’s glossiest boutique hotel is located in a former 17th-century theater on lively Keizersgracht and well deserves its accolades.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Amsterdam.

Fodors review:

“Situated behind the gate of a Golden Age theater is a luxury boutique hotel that continues to strike the right note, with views of Amsterdam’s grandest canal, award-winning service, a Michelin-starred restaurant and an elegant décor.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Amsterdam.

Forbes review:

“There’s a laidback Dutch quality that permeates the luxury of The Dylan Amsterdam, a boutique hotel that favors comforting ambiance over flashy décor. From the moment you step through its discreet off-street entrance, there’s an overwhelmingly inviting, cozy atmosphere that encapsulates one of Holland’s favorite words: gezellig.”

New York Times review:

“The Dylan is a 41-room boutique hotel in a historic mansion in the Canal Belt. It also houses the Michelin-starred Restaurant Vinkeles.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Amsterdam.

Telegraph review:

“The Dylan, intimate and detached from city bustle, comprises just 40 rooms, spread through two historic canal-side buildings. Period charm meets contemporary styling in a prime location. A top-class restaurant and smart, engaging staff all contribute to the mood of discreet, low-key chic.”

Really enjoyed our stay and would return

Atmosphere and personal approach

The bedroom had an odd configuration. The bathroom had a sliding door and only one sink with an awkward tap for washing.

Very good

Excellent location in the 9 Streets area, very helpful reception staff, very nice bar and communal areas and very nicely designed.

The hotel’s rooms located in the attic are relatively generously sized but don’t feel very luxurious - e.g. the bed was up against a window with no headboard to be able to sit up in. The hotel bar is very nice, but the service wasn’t very good - one evening, no staff came to take a drinks order despite waiting for about 20 minutes and trying to get staff members’ attention. There was a private reception being held that evening and the staff couldn’t cope with that and service for other hotel guests in the bar and restaurant - whilst understandably busy for the staff, you would expect better service levels from such a leading hotel.

A fabulous place to stay

The hotels location is fabulous. The staff go above and beyond in terms of providing help and advice. (it feels like they read your mind they are so responsive). Food in the restaurant was great, serve impeccable and the quality was good. Breakfast could do with a few 'hot' foods but was very good and certainly more than satisfactory.

Only very minor complaint (and it's a personal one). I like a harder pillow and their was no easy pillow option.

fantastic overall. would stay again and again

location. quiet neighborhood. cleanliness. top-notch staff, especially the concierge

slow service at the restaurant for breakfast. we chose to eat there since we had morning plans, it opened at 7am, and many breakfast places in Amsterdam don’t open until 8:30 or later. to be fair it was a computer issue where our order wasn’t transmitted from the wait desk to the kitchen. also we are American so we eat fast and are impatient by nature I guess. at any rate the food was great.

Excellent Boutique Hotel on Canal

Elegant boutique style hotel in perfect location. Excellent restaurants. The staffing was a real highlight, particularly Kate who gave us personal attention throughout our stay.

The room was a bit smaller than expected.

Fabulous, we will be back without question.

The room was first class. We liked everything about this gem of a hotel. The staff were first class along with all the facilities. The restaurant was a complete must. We have eaten in the worlds best and this is right up there. You must eat in when staying at the Dylan.....

Car parking but I suppose if you are in Amsterdam it is always tricky. The hotel looked after my car and took away the problem. Another plus.

This is not hyperbole.

There was NOTHING not to like. And I loved room 11 even more. A room with a built in exercise stairway is so rare. And beyond that the challenge of the ascent, and thrill of going down. Believe me, I really mean it. That said, let me add that when I get home this evening, I will tell my wife...who did not accompany me...to pack her bags so that we may fly back to Amsterdam tomorrow, just to stay at the Dylan. But I really must restrain myself lest whoever reads this will think me but hot air hyperbole.

There was absolutely NOTHING I didn't like. But let me add, for they were so exceptional, the quality of your staff. Gorgeous every one, attentive, fun, brilliantly welcoming.

True gem of a place, memorable short stay!

The history of the place. The sobriety of the decor. The info given by the staff. The well stocked bar. The brasserie Occo. The amazing room 46, with views on roofs and terraces. The tech gadgets, confort, coffee and mini bar. The private boat tour . Great stay!

BBC did not work on our TV. No major problem!
