Amsterdam Marriott Hotel
Housekeeping could have been better. Water glasses were not properly cleaned, a bath towel put in our room after cleaning was dirty, wash clothes were forgotten one day. Also, a problem with HVAC, was turned off inexplicably and had to call down to rectify.

Clayton Hotel Amsterdam American
We thought the room was on the dark side, not much in the way of overhead light. Felt cramped too.

S&A Vondel Park Hotel
I wouldn’t stay here again. The bathroom is moldy and not well maintained at all. I couldn’t even use the bathroom because of this

Krisotel
Amazing stay at the rooms were clean. Property was nice and unlimited coffee or tea all the time. It was a nice bonus. Our only complaints were the room got hot and you couldn’t adjust the temperature. And the bathroom smelled like a sewer

Leonardo Hotel Amsterdam Museum Quarter
The rooms are too small for two people and the beds also are too small. Other than that the hotel is clean and friendly and in the perfect quiet location.
