Had an excellent stay. Have rarely encountered such service-oriented staff in The Netherlands. My room was spacious and well equipped. Location is perfect. You get the feel of life along the canals and it is an easy walking distance from key sights and shops, including the flower market. Did not try the restaurants.
Yes, it is pricey but you do get a lot in return!

Amsterdam is an interesting exciting place but i was a bit sceptical about the hotel choices as there weren't many options for 5 star luxury which i am fanatical about. However when we checked into this hotel we were pleasantly surprised. The location is amazing as it is a short walk to the red light district and other interesting hot spots. We stayed in a luxury room and it was furnished nicely, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was quiet large and also very nice. The view out the window was of another building so didnt get much out of that. We ordered a few times from room service and the food was quiet enjoyable. Had dinner once at the Bridges restaurant, the service was good and so was the food. The concierge service was average and overall we enjoyed our stay at the hotel. This is not the most luxurious 5 star hotel you will stay in but in Amsterdam i think this was the perfect choice.

What a fantastic location, restaurant, hotel and STAFF! We recently stayed here for the weekend and had a fabulous relaxing time; the staff really looked after us we cannot recommend it enough!
The room was fabulous; the restaurant was tremendous, so much so we chose to eat there again on the second night (Caviar is well recommended) and our waiter Robin and his colleagues were tremendous.
It is such a refreshing change to stay somewhere that goes that extra mile to provide a personal service, simple things such as remembering your name!!! Hotels from around the world should send their staff here for training; this hotel proves what well trained staff can do for an establishment.
The library was so relaxing just to sit, read and be served a selection of lovely coffee. To leave the cold outside and hit the spa was so chilled out!
