Great service, clean, but over priced.

Great service, clean rooms. Excellent location. All the staff is very helpful and attentive, and happy to help as needed. Location is close to the heart of amsterdam meaning many things are in walking distance.

Food was fine but not excellent. Room is very small which wasn't unexpected as this is warned under the room I selected, but for the price it is quite surpising how little you get. Lovely hotel just a bit over priced.

Unusual and exceptional hotel in a great location with an attentive staff and fabulous breakfast.

Beautiful, clean rooms. Such an interesting eclectic hotel which is made up of many old canal homes now combined . Wonderful staff that were very helpful and knew the history of this fabulous hotel. The location was perfect to sightsee. The breakfast was outstanding and we appreciated that you could even order off the plethora of food choices displayed so beautifully. Even had Prosecco if you wanted. We loved all the gardens attached to this hotel that you could relax and enjoy .

Cannot think of anything to improve this hotel.

Luxury unique hotel full of charm in a great location.

We chose to return to the Pulitzer for our Honeymoon. Beautiful hotel in a great location if you want to be in the canal ring area of Amsterdam. Easy walking distance from so many of the local attractions and huge choice of restaurants, cafes, bars and shops. The rooms are sumptuous and full of charm and the beds….they are amongst the most comfortable we’ve ever experienced and we travel ALOT with our work!!! . There was a congratulatory bottle of champagne on ice and delicious chocolates waiting in our room on arrival which was a lovey welcome!

Nothing we didn’t like - it was as beautiful as we remembered it from our first visit there. It’s not the cheapest hotel but for us, worth the extra money to stay there.

Exemplary apart from the noise from other guests

Location was lovely, staff were excellent.

Noise level . For this stop of hotel, I didn’t expect to hear other guests in the room upstairs banging around and shouting in the night…… maybe better soundproofing as needed. Other than that, the hotel was excellent.

It is the place to stay in Amsterdam

- Historical property consists of 25 townhouses from the 17th century - Nice and unique interior and decorations - well located in Amsterdam on the canal - nice restaurant and facilities

- Very long and slow check in and check out - no option (even for extra fees) for early check in for those who arrived very early in morning so I had to wait from 9 am until 3 pm - first room I got was not garden view as expected but they changed it.

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!

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

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 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.
