Welcome to Banks Mansion A different kind of house If we had to describe ourselves in traditional terms, we are a boutique luxury hotel situated in Amsterdam’s famed Golden Bend district. But at Banks, we don’t really like labels. We prefer doing things our own way. We are your home next door, filled with friendly, sometimes slightly nosy neighbours who want to make you feel right at home from the moment you enter through our front door. We take the time to get to know you, because more than a onesize- fits-all grand gesture, we know that it’s the little things that make all the difference. Like your favourite cocktail ingredients or tea blend, along with our (almost) famous signature socks, which will be waiting for you in your bedroom. Located alongside the canal in a different kind of house Amsterdam’s Golden Bend, our quirky, familiar atmosphere lets you experience the city like a bonafide local. Grab a bike and explore the town, or borrow Banks’ resident pup for a picnic at Vondelpark. Whatever you choose, our family will hook you up with itineraries, tickets, reservations, guest lists, packed lunches and more. Our uber-personalised service is un-conditional, which simply means that, no matter what, we’ve got your back with the whole shebang. Why do we do all this? Because we are family, and we are here to make sure that your trip to Amsterdam is absolutely epic. Welcome to Banks Mansion, the home next door. Banks Mansion is one of the leading four star hotels in Amsterdam with a dominating factor of presence in the lists of best hotels in Amsterdam. More importantly Banks Mansion is in the top 10 of best hotels in Amsterdam. The hotel features many unique selling points, looking at concept, location, level of staff & ambiance. The so called ‘’All Things Inclusive’’ concept is a worth winner and highly appreciated among the hotel’s target market. As no other hotel in Amsterdam offers such services this is Banks Mansion’s absolute unique selling point.

I live in Haarlem and I went with a friend to Banks Mansion for one night away in the city centre of Amsterdam. It was super to stay so close to the shops and nice restaurants! The personal welcome of the staff was very welcoming and the atmosphere when we entered the hotel was very warm and cosy. It's a nice small boutique hotel with charming details. Also the comfy room with canal view which we booked was a good choice with a beautiful view over the canals in Amsterdam, good to experience the real Amsterdam feeling. The cheese table hour from 17.00-18.00 pm is a lovely treat and all the drinks are included so we enjoyed this hour with a nice glass of wine. We had a good sleep and the rooms are really quiet. The breakfast the next day was very good and there were so many options to choose. We had a good total experience and I would love to come back again!

Hotel's Favourite
We spent three nights at Banks Mansion. First of all the location is amazing 🤩 We saw so much more staying here and it’s so pretty right on the canal! It was lovely to open the curtains and windows every morning to such a pretty view! THE most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. Also, they have bikes to hire at the hotel, which is a must thing to do, just make sure you book them as soon as you can to avoid missing out. The hotel left surprises in both ours and our friends rooms to help celebrate my birthday and their engagement, which was such a nice touch! The hotels full service concept meant we could relax and celebrate without worrying about over spending. They have premium brands and it’s self service, so it felt like we were in our home, especially in the comfortable lounge area they’ve created, it’s so clever! The minibar and treats in your room are also included and the decor is so cool, it’s one of the quirkiest places we’ve stayed. Breakfast was delish! Lots of self serve options, hot and cold, and a chef preparing made to order dishes! Real freshly squeezed orange juice (not watered down like most places) and a huge selection of hot drinks available all through the day in the lounge area to, not just at breakfast! We are already missing the daily cheese board and finding out what different treats they have every day! Oh and make sure you book direct! We were presented with such a lovely gift when we arrived for doing this!

Dear Clare, Thank you for your kind words! It means a lot to us that you and your friends enjoyed your time at the house! The concept is easy right? Just enjoy an omelette prepared by our chef in the morning and a coffee to go, grab a drink at the bar to relax and unwind and of course some snacks. We are hoping to celebrate your birthday again here next year! Kind regards, Mark Welbers General Manager

We just checked out of Banks Mansion and could not be happier with our stay. The staff were fantastic and couldn’t do enough for you. They were attentive and always willing to go the extra mile to make your stay better. They helped us arrange a canal tour and museum tickets (even to the hard to get Van Gogh museum)…thank you Patrick! The cheese tray in the evening was a really nice touch and the breakfasts were wonderful. The lounge area with open bar and wine at 4pm was such a nice way to start your evening. The hotel is centrally located and within a 20 minute walk of everywhere. We couldn’t be happier with our stay and will be back when we are in Amsterdam again!

This was the fifth time I’d stayed at this hotel and my last. Arrived on the Friday and all was good, room was fine - but definitely the smallest room I’d ever stayed in within the hotel. Saturday morning went to grab a tea from downstairs and needed some milk and the front of house staff were lounging on the sofas like it was their day off and were not very helpful while I was enquiring where the milk was. Fast forward to the afternoon and I went to grab a glass of wine - no wine glasses. I asked reception for a wine glass and the guy behind the desk told me they were all dirty? And? An hour later and a glass arrived as we were then leaving. Then in the evening I popped down with a dead remote and asked for more batteries off the guy who finally provided me with a wine glass and got a cocky response on how it wasn’t my day? To summarise - front of house was shocking. You don’t pay premium to be given that kind of service. You’ll find me at the Hoxton next time I’m in the area.

We booked the Guest Suite which is comfortable clean and well equipped but has a view on a dirty backyard with broken skips and is facing a public housing 10m across the window so there’s ZERO privacy and you have to keep curtains drawn at all times. When asked if we could change rooms the day receptionist was very rude and dismissive sternly confirming our booking was correct so period (since there’s only one Guest Suite).

There's a lot about this hotel to like. It's in a good location - equidistant from the main railway station and the Rijksmuseum. I rated my stay as 4 star because I think the fixtures and fittings are a bit tired. Everything functioned though. Chairs, carpets and that sort of thing could do with a refresh. I would describe the style as 'faux art deco' which isn't my taste, so that might account for it. The good news is the amount of stuff you get included in the room rate - breakfast, free mini bar (limited selection but welcome), and unlimited drinks (including alcoholic) every evening in the lobby. There's also a cheese/nibbles tray that I used as dinner to save £££. Very welcome and high quality. And off-set the high weekend room rate.

Very comfortable beds and pillows. And I’m quite particular about bed/pillow comfort. Staff was consistently good and helpful. Agree with another reviewer that a bit more orientation of amenities upon check in would be nice. Open bar, snacks, excellent coffee machines is great. Orange juice machine at breakfast is fantastic. Baileys with my cappuccino in the morning is enough to bring me back. Housekeeping was great. I was on 4th floor - first room 402 (great choice with canal view). Flight cancellation caused me to extend my stay 1 night. Fortunately Banks could accommodate - but Master Suite (408) was only room remaining. It was nice/roomy - a bit higher priced but I was thankful for the room Great location. I walked everywhere - Rijksmuseum, restaurants for dinner, Rembrandtplein, Flower Market, etc… all within a short 5-10 minutes walk. Weather was not great when I visited Oct 31 - Nov 3 but hotel was a great hangout while the wind and rain wrecked havoc outside. Would highly recommend and will stay again when visiting Amsterdam
