Fantastic Stay in a Perfect Location

I had a wonderful stay at the Pulitzer Amsterdam! I especially loved the location — right in the heart of the city, close to everything but still quiet and charming. The comfort of the hotel was exceptional, from the stylish rooms to the cozy atmosphere throughout. We also really enjoyed the restaurants — the food was excellent and the service was great. I would definitely stay here again!

Nice rooms and location and setting but they have to work on the service. We won’t be back..

Loved our room. But hotel was super busy. Welcome was not really nice even though it was my birthday. The gay barman was not nice at all, the would t serve us drinks outside , we had to ask 10 times for someone to come and serve us a bottle of rose!

Lovely experience in the heart of old Amsterdam

Beautiful spaces, especially the garden patio restaurant. Great location. Mostly superior service. Restaurants all great. Nice feeling of luxury. Great private canal cruise

Lobby was crowded at times, concierge happy to help set things up, but messed up reservations at two restaurants and one excursion. It all worked out but they felt harried. Room was beautiful with nice view of interior patio - however was a bit space challenged

Elegant, comfortable, truly memorable!

We truly enjoyed everything about our stay, from the service, design and cleanliness to the delicious breakfast, warm staff, and perfect central location.

The lunch, dinner and 24/7 menus could offer more variety and better alternatives to match the overall high standards of the hotel.

Do you like a place to stay that is close to the action and boasts an edgy elegance? Then the Pulitzer Amsterdam is for

The property has an “edgy” character that is fun without being flamboyant. The rooms are comfortable. The staff (with a notable exception) is professional, friendly and anticipative of your needs. The location puts it within walking distance of most attractions.

The notable exception is the housekeeping staff. They often forgot to provide enough towels or toilet paper and one day the room did not get cleaned until almost 8 pm.

Would definitely return but would make sure to avoid the 2 problems we encountered

We liked the excellent location, the layout of the hotel and the courtyard gardens

We were placed in a handicap room, which had shortcomings for a non-handicapped couple. Told it was the only option even though we booked weeks in advance. We had breakfast onsite - there was confusion by staff about the options and we paid $44 each for a very simple non-buffet breakfast

A gorgeous hotel with wonderful staff

It is in the perfect location for walking around Amsterdam and has a lovely courtyard garden to relax in afterwards.

We were in an attic bedroom which had lots of sloping ceilings and we are both tall.

A solid choice for a homebase in Amsterdam

Second time at Pulitzer and enjoyed it as much as first time. A well looked after property.

Not so much the property but the staff at the garden restaurant that had this air of superiority over their customers. Really made me feel unwelcome and so it was for other customers too as I saw the exchange on arrival asking for a table. Didn’t pick this up from the other hotel staff who were excellent.

A delightful slice of paradise in the heart of a beautiful city!

First, the property is truly stunning. Second, the checking process was a dream. I flew in from NY landing before check in but as I had reached out before they were able to check me into one of our rooms early which was appreciated. They also expedited my laundry- again appreciated. The concierge, doormen and porters were all exceptionally helpful and true asset to the hotel. Food: We had beautiful weather so we're lucky enough to start our trip with nibbles and champagne in the garden. We ate breakfast in Janzs both days, and it was excellent - free flowing cava and coffee, making for an excellent start to the day. We did pre-dinner drinks at the garden bar the first night and post dinner drinks at the Pulitzer Bar the second. Both had exceptional drinks, and when one of the cocktails wasn't to someone's liking - they replaced it for free. Other facilities- I had a blow-dry in The Beauty House and that was fair value for money - the best thing is that it is onsite but has an independent feel. The gym, whilst small, has everything needed for a great workout - with high quality machines and equipment. They also have an online workout App available which I found very helpful as I lacked inspiration after a long flight. This was my second time to the Pulitzer and it would take something significant for me to stay anywhere else for a personal trip.

One of our rooms didn't have much light and was dark. There is also only enough coffee for one use, and 2 tiny UHT milks. This is not enough for big tea and coffee drinkers.

Great hotel with superb concierges!

The hotel is right in the middle of things. The Jordaan is our favourite bit of A’dam. It’s a buzzy hotel, on trend and with a great relaxed vibe. Staff are really responsive and want to help. In particular we’d like to shout out the great services of the concierges Pieter and Robert who suggested and booked restaurants that perfectly matched our preferences. And, then to Pieter who got me tickets for an exhibition I thought was sold out. I am now a big fan of Concierge services!

Nothing to complain about really - our room could get a bit hot as we had a massive radiator that I couldn’t switch off. But then, there were windows so we could let cold air in.

Amazing hotel. It’s our second time staying there and we’ve enjoyed it every single time! The staff go above and beyond and are so helpful. The atmosphere and vibe is very relaxed and luxurious - we cannot fault the hotel and really enjoy our stays there. The location is ideal, you can walk around the main areas with ease and it feels a very safe and creative space.

Hotel and restaurant Jansz superb

Beautiful location, room, staff very friendly and helpful. Restaurant Jansz and Pulitzer garden excellent.

Pulitzer bar music way too loud. When asked to lower the volume, I was grumpily told they wouldn’t do so. Therefore I left with my glass of wine. Too loud, too rude, so unlike the rest of my experience. Heater was on too high most of the time (also at night while not having the key inserted)
