Excellent location for exploring Amsterdam, right next to Leidseplein, few mins from Rijksmuseum, canal tours, easy walk to Vondelpark, inner canal ring, Anne Frank House etc. Close to many bars and eateries/restaurants. Trams stop just outside. Good choice foods at breakfast (buffet only, not cooked to order). We ate elsewhere in the evening, so can't comment on dinner. Nice clean room, large shower, comfy bed and pillows.
Hotel is easily accessible by trams and close to all sites. Friendly staff, clean rooms and great restaurant attached to it for hanging out for drinks or eating out.
The hotel is in such a great location and a grand old hotel, making this a great spot for a stay. Staff are amazing, rooms are clean and well-furnished. Facilities are also what I look for, with a bar, restaurant and a well-known brunch spot. I would definitely stay again.
They gave me upgrade room, that wonderful places, servicesand clean

Very charming hotel, intricate exquisite features, amazing breakfast/dining area, excellent breakfast choices, healthy and delicious. Staff were very helpful, polite and attentive. Rooms were very clean, nicely updated bathrooms. Even though we had an amazing canal view we found the room a little dark - more lighting (brighter) would be helpful. The hotel is in the perfect location for easy access to
