We use to be in this hotel each time we need to be in Amsterdam (such as for tourism, or waiting for a Schijpol Airport connection to Netherland Antilles, etc.). The location near Red district, well deep in the very heart of Amsterdam is unique. Radisson made a refurbish work really remarcable, adding new wings to the 1600 buildings on Rusland, and adding a lot of confort to the upper floor rooms. Penthouse crystal roof suites are so beautiful. Go for confort and excellent breakfast, professional staff and really good privacy. An international city hotel, but classy.

Stayed here for business January 2012.

The hotel is in the middle of Amsterdam, yet up a quiet street (Rusland), so there's no noise, even at night. A canal is straight down the road from the Hotel, only 1 minuttes walking.

Hotel includes a bar, and some rooms which overlook the reception and bar area. Cool.

5-10 minutes walk to the Red Light District (which, by the way, is no way what it used to be).

Rooms have all the business class trimmings you'd expect, and plenty of space for everything.

Breakfast great, but be sure it's included at your booking, otherwise it's very expensive to pay for upfront.

Staff were very efficient and sometimes over-eager.

Overall, this is a very nice, romantic, well designed first-class hotel in a good location. Trams and metro are nearby.

Downside is that rates are high, even for Europeans, but you get what you pay for.

I have been in Amsterdam several times. Still this hotel the is best choice to explore Amsterdam. Location near center but quiet surrounding. Red lights are close but still away. Service and hotel are both excellent. Room is spacious, enough everything in room: iron and desk for ironing, coffee, tea and hot chocolate, free wi-fi. Bathroom is big enough. Shampoo, conditioner etc. are with very good quality.

Great hotel: Nice and spacious rooms, good breakfast, swift and service minded staff, great location but still quietly situated in the city center. We paid 50 Euros extra for a junior suite upgrade.

Only downside – if any – was that our room did not have an outside view, but overlooked the bright and airy reception area.

In addition you might want to ask for softer pillows, as the ones in the beds where very hard and high.
