My stay at The Pulitzer was wonderful! The Hotel is beautifully chic, and fun. It has a community vibe, while still maintaining privacy and professionalism. The rooms were very comfortable, the food was excellent and reasonable. I loved the numerous outdoor spaces and the hip, happening bar. Thank you Hotel Pulitzer for making my first, and certainly not last trip, to Amsterdam amazing!
Bar was a little loud, but it was fun!

Good and very central hotel which gives the vibe of Amsterdam.
I liked the small restaurant where I had breakfast which I think is much nicer than the actual breakfast room where I had breakfast once. My room, once it had been changed, was lovely, spacious and light. I would like to thank Sven de Boer for his help in this matter. The position of the hotel is excellent and right in the middle of everything, which makes it perfect to walk to restaurants and shops. Being on the canal was beautiful and gave one the great vibe of Amsterdam.
The first room I was given was nothing like the photos. I spent the first night there and hated it. There was not even a chest of drawers to put anything in. It was dark and had no storage and in my opinion should not be used until it is revamped. I complained the next day and a very nice young man called Sven de Boer changed my room for another one which exceeded my expectations. The hot water does not get hot enough and the air conditioner does not go above 24.

Elegant, comfortable, accommodating
Hotel was perfectly located. Within walking distance to everything we did. Had bicycle rentals but we were unable to use them as they were booked. Hotel was clean and quiet. Bar was very nice. Staff was friendly and accommodating.
The valet service for parking our car was very high. We live near New York City and have traveled to other major destinations and it wasn’t that high. 70 euros a night. They told us to give them an hour’s notice to get our car which is much longer than any other place we’ve ever stayed. when we were leaving for the airport, It took an hour and a half and made us behind schedule, causing us to incur additional cost for gas for a rental car (170 euros!). this was disappointing.

Wonderful staff and very nice all around. Quite overpriced and lacking thermal comfort in warmer days. Canal view can be
Great staff and great location. Very attentive and helpful staff. Great location too.
Very overpriced. Smallish rooms with impractical design features for living with suitcases. Heat gain. We needed a portable fan as rooms are hot and stuffy on canal side

Loved this hotel and will stay here again if ever I return to Amsterdam
Entire hotel very clean. Staff more than accommodating in every aspect. Breakfast limited but excellent choices.
If the only outlet to use for hair dryer is on nightstand please make sure there is a mirror above it. Lighting could be brighter.

A beautiful but expensive hotel
it’s interior really is beautiful and all the staff are very polite and friendly
Cream in little tubs, rather than milk, was provided with in-room tea/coffee making facilities. This was ok in coffee but wasn’t good in tea. Some days none was provided at all and when I phoned reception one morning to ask for some, they didn’t deliver any until after we’d gone out.

Beautiful, comfortable bedding, excellent staff , all very nice and helpful. You could tell they meant it when they asked you if you needed assistance. Food was good but not great. While we loved our stay it is slightly overpriced.

Everything, the room, the view, and the facilities.
The food in the Garden Room restaurant is very disappointing and let's the rest of the hotel high standards down.
