Wonderful. Amsterdam is stunning and our hotel staff and staff in shops/restaurants all charming.

We loved the location and the style of the hotel. Although it is large, it didn’t feel it to us as our room was on the next floor up from the lobby. The gardens in the interior courtyard were spectacular in autumn colours. Our included Breakfast covered all tastes and was excellent. On reflection, we would not have included breakfast on last morning as it was an early start home and we couldn’t do it justice!

Our superior room was perfectly ok with a very comfy large bed, flat screen tv with BBC 1 and 2. Good bathroom with strong shower and all clean. Just a little dark as overlooking courtyard and low lighting.

Lovely hotel.

Always a lovely hotel, great location, very helpful front desk staff. The lobby bar manager was amazing and went above and beyond on my last night to make just the right drinks. Lovely clean rooms always in lovely condition, quiet location.

Went for breakfast one morning with my college, who was having the buffet, I was not planning to eat, but asked if could simply have a cup of hot water and a slice of lemon, but was told this was not possible, either not at all or I had to pay 45 euros for a cup of hot water, which I honestly thought was a joke, the young girl and the front counter was extremely unhelpful.

Great city break hotel was cosseting home from home/

Beautiful renovation of buildings, made the assembly of different types of buildings work. Great room view over canals and felt right in the heart of the city. Bars and restaurants were excellent quality and wonderful spaces to enjoy.

The volume of cruise passengers in reception probably took the edge off the boutique feel.

Great stay in the heart of Amsterdam

Perfect location right near city center, the canals, and De Wallen. The Pulitzer Bar is absolutely amazing. Rooms are very fashionable, in an "antique" kind of way.

Very expensive, but that reflects Amsterdam's hotel market in general. Rooms might not be to your taste if you are expecting something a bit more modern.

We experienced authentic luxury and quintessential hospitality that made our trip special!

The location in the Nagen Straatjes neighborhood and right on Prinsengracht was fantastic. Central enough to be 5-10 minute walking distance to all main sights, yet removed from the craziness when one seeks a sanctuary. Their main garden and surrounding restaurant was such a beautiful spot to relax and recharge. Great rooms with all the luxuries one would expect from a 5-star hotel. We had two rooms, one of which was the top floor of a house so was charming with a vaulted roof ceiling bearing barn-style rafters and columns. The staff was extremely polite and always willing to help. Anything we asked for was delivered to the room within minutes (e.g., a standing fan for better circulation, a weighing scale to weigh our bags, extra blankets and towels, etc). This made our experience that much special. The hotel is just so stylish. Entering the lobby itself one perceives luxury and exquisite taste in each detail. This was the tail end of a long pan-Europe family trip and this hotel made the end of our trip very special.

We loved everything. If I had to nitpick, I would say the AC could be stronger. We happened to be in Amsterdam on some really hot days (one of the days got to 90F) and we felt the room wasn’t cooling effectively. But the standing fan we requested - and received - made up for that.

A very charming, beautifully decorated and professionally run hotel. The room was solidly built, elegantly designed, and very comfortable (good bed and pillows also).

One or two more electric outlets next to the beds would have been good.

A nice hotel in a very good location.

The breakfast was very good and there was a nice selection. Our room was nice but not as good as I expected based on the price. The location of the hotel is great. The hotel boat ride was also very good. Overall, the property is very nice and the DS & Durga bath products were outstanding!

Our room was on the street level facing the canal and it was loud at times and we generally kept the curtains closed for privacy. The staff was fine but I honestly expected more from this hotel.

Great stay in the heart of Amesterdam

Charming property in a great location, big room (there were three of us), very quiet. Very comfortable beds. The staff was very kind and always helpful.

The air conditioning control panel wasn’t working properly and we kept fighting with it to switch it off without much success therefore it was a little bit too chilly at times (whenever we returned to the room actually)

Comfy and Clean but not worth the hype

The location is excellent and clean. The staff was helpful. We had breakfast in room each day and it was excellent and the way to go as the breakfast they offer when you book is very expensive.

For a 5 star hotel the rooms are small. There were 3 of us in a room crammed together. Other than the breakfast we were not impressed with the other restaurants available in the hotel. The lobby is small and always very busy and noisy.
