I loved my Comfy Room. Had big tub and shower and a full sized bed. When I booked, I said I’d like to have those things and they delivered. Spacious room with large armoire. Very comfortable bedding. By far the most comfortable bedding I’ve ever had in Europe and better than most American hotels. It was nice that the window opened for fresh air and city sounds. View was just the backside of hotel but I didn’t feel I missed anything by skipping a canal room booking. Beautiful canal views as soon as you step outside. Great breakfasts. Cheese tray was nice in the afternoon and the open bar with soda, water, beer, wine, liquor was always stocked. Board games downstairs were a nice touch for family groups on a rainy day. Little mini fridge in room was nice. Candies always available in lobby. Staff helped me book a cab twice and were always friendly and helpful. There is not a shuttle service but the rates for taxi when you use the ppl they contract with were 25 to 30% less than calling on your own and the cars were very nice and the drivers friendly. Neighborhood is wonderful and I was able to walk to everything within 20 minutes or less. There’s a full grocery store two blocks away for any extra snacks, sandwiches or toiletries you may want. I did two canal tours and they both went by this hotel while talking about how it one of the most beautiful streets in Amsterdam. It was quiet all week inside the hotel and with my window open it was quiet every night except Friday night and even then it wasn’t so loud that I wanted to close the window. Amsterdam went to bed by midnight even on Friday lol.
The hairdryer in my room didn’t work but I let the hair air dry since it was rainy anyway and forgot to even mention it to them so they didn’t have an opportunity to address that. Only iffy thing was 50 euro for early check in. The confirmation of that payment email came at 1:32 pm and said it was 50 for check in between 10 a.m. and 1:30 pm. If I was charged right at 1:30 for something that stops charging at 1:30 then that’s kind of lame but I was too tired to ask at the time and forgot about it until I got home and saw that email again. The on floor ice machines were being repaired but they put ice in the lobby and let everyone know just ask if you need ice. I didn’t even need it bc the sodas and waters were chilled anyway.
The location, the all inclusive drinks/snacks/breakfast and helpful staff made this trip so easy for a woman traveling solo. I booked about 3 months in advance and my room was less than 200 euro a night which felt like a great price for the experience. If I’m ever in Amsterdam again, I wouldn’t even look at other hotels, I’d book here again.

We are pleased that you enjoyed the spaciousness of your room, our comfortable bedding, including the ever-ready open bar and the delightful cheese tray. It's great to know that our talkative staff were able to assist you effectively, making your solo travel experience so enjoyable. However, we apologize for the confusion regarding the early check-in fee, thank you for sharing your experience, something regrettably went wrong here. We appreciate your understanding while we worked on the ice machine repairs, and we're glad that our chilled beverages met your needs in the meantime. Finally, it's wonderful to hear that our central location allowed you to explore the vibrant neighbourhood and that the canal views just outside added to the charm of your visit. We are hoping to welcome you back in the future. All the best. Josine Folie, General Manager

What a beautiful, unique hotel Banks Mansion is! The communal living area and the rooms are decorated in an art deco style with great attention to detail. Our room was extremely comfortable with the offer of our own choice of pillow just adding to the feeling that nothing was too much trouble for this hotel. The bar in the living area was included in the cost of our stay and we could help ourselves to a wide variety of wine, beer and spirits as well a hot drinks. A good choice of non-alcoholic drinks was also provided. The daily cheese trolley was a lovely treat. Every afternoon, along with other residents we could help ourselves to the cheese, crackers and other snacks provided by the hotel and sit in the comfortable, cosy living area. The breakfast was great, with hot food being cooked to order. Everything was fresh and tasty with a wide choice of fruit, pastries, cheese and cured meats. The staff were very friendly and helpful, assisting us with restaurant bookings and our canal cruise. They made a point of greeting us every time we saw them and really made us feel at home. We loved our stay and wish we'd been staying longer than 3 nights. Will definitely book again when we visit Amsterdam next.

I had a fantastic stay at Banks Mansion during my trip to Amsterdam. The hotel is located in a convenient, quiet location close to several tram stops and within walking distance to the city center. I appreciate the hotel is away from all the noise and hustle and bustle of the city, but still within walking distance to all the restaurants, shops, and major attractions.
My hotel room had an extremely comfortable bed, large spacious bathroom with a shower and separate soaking tub, and a complimentary minibar (restocked daily). The room was quiet and clean. I was able to request my preferred pillow from the pillow menu, which had several different types of pillows.
The hotel provides an amazing breakfast buffet. Sandra, an employee working in the kitchen, provided top-notch service. She is friendly, personable, and cooked delicious eggs for me every morning. She made my stay even more memorable. The hotel lobby has an open bar and provides complimentary snacks all day. Wine and cheese/meats are served in the late afternoon/evening. This was an excellent place to relax and meet other people.
Overall, I loved my stay at Banks Mansion and would stay here in the future when visiting Amsterdam. There is only one elevator an it can be slow during busy hours, however, this was not a big issue for me as the stairs were easily accessible. I initially encountered a glitch when booking online; my credit card was charged twice and I double booked my room (which was non-refundable). Cleo, the reservations and revenue coordinator, was professional, communicative, and helpful. Cleo fixed the mistake for me and cooperated in helping me reverse the charges on my credit card account. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service.

Dear Stephen, Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We're thrilled that you had such an enjoyable time at Banks Mansion. We're overjoyed that you found your room snug with a notably comfortable bed, and the minibar, restocked daily, added that extra touch of luxury.

We're so glad you found our Living the perfect spot to unwind and connect. However, we apologize for any inconvenience experienced with the elevator during peak times. We also deeply regret the booking hiccup you encountered, but we're pleased that Cleo was able to swiftly resolve it for you. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we're grateful you brought these matters to our attention. We hope we will have the opportunity to see you again in the future.

This is a nice hotel and ideally located in the centre of Amsterdam. Having stayed there in 2021 where I was not particularly happy with my stay I fed this back to the manager who apologised and assured me feedback would be actioned. Following hotel closures and lockdown I was understanding and very much believed this hotel has the potential for an excellent stay hence I booked it again. In 2023 all the issues I previously encountered remained the same and worse.
While the hotel offers an “All Inclusive” service they do not make bottled water readily available in any of the multiple fridges at the bar and not did I have any bottled water in my mini bar. It’s a challenge to get it on request and will typically only be given 2 x 250ml bottles.Having insisted that I was given water on my first morning waking up with a dry throat. When I had requested it the night before the receptionist told me that I could drink tap water?!?!? The bathrooms are beautiful but have a strong smell of sewage at night time, I assume this is due to being directly next to the canal which must do something at night because the smell is not that bad during the day (but extremely unpleasant at night). So the fact that the receptionist had the audacity to tell me I can drink tap water from the bathroom is ludicrous to me in general yet alone a 4 star “All Inclusive” hotel.
No one attended to clean my room on day one. Having called reception at 6pm to inform them, there is was no apology but an attitude that I have to now ask her to bring me clean towels and restock the mini fridge because the cleaners had gone home.
By day 3 it was clear that at no point during my stay did a hoover/vacuum cleaner ever enter my room. There were crumbs that were clearly visible as I ate in my often room.
There is a clear lack of resources where the receptionist are also required to do the cleaning downstairs. This makes them unavailable and inattentive to guests who either have to wait around or are very much made to feel like you’re disbursing them when requiring assistance.
The service itself is less but you pay more. In 2021 there would be 3 crystal decanters in your room filled with whisky, brandy and gin. 2023 this is no longer there but now there are now 2 cheap 250ml, 5% alcohol cocktails in your room instead.
The breakfast is a typical European breakfast with enough options. Chef was a young male, very nice and friendly. However the chef still does not bother to ask if you would like salt in your eggs prior to cooking. Fried/scrambled/omelettes do not absorb salt well after they are already cooked. Eggs are a very international and multicultural breakfast, and simple seasoning of salt prior to cooking is a very basic task for anyone universally.
I will not be staying at Banks Mansion again. There are plenty other options within the vicinity. When you treat yourself to a little luxurious getaway in a 4 star “All Inclusive” hotel you should get just that and not a 2 star service!

Let’s start with the positive, before I explain why I cannot leave this hotel with a better review.
The location is amazing and we were able to walk anywhere we wanted within 20 mins. The all-inclusive bar in the lobby also helped us start every day on a toasty note. The folks working at the front desk were very helpful and were able to answer every question quickly. Also, the breakfast buffet was delicious and the staff cooking fresh French toast was so friendly!
There were a few problems though:
(1) The bed in our room was two very uncomfortable twin beds pushed together, with a mattress topper on each mattress. However, the bed tilted towards the window and the topper would slide off throughout the night. Other couples we met who had booked later then us received normal queen sized beds so I’m unsure how they decide who gets these less desirable rooms with awful bedding. We went an entire week without a good nights sleep because of this “system”. There’s only a power outlet on one side of the bed, so good luck keeping more than one phone charged over night.
(2) The ceiling in our bathroom would move and shake with the air conditioning and wind throughout the building. This was noisy and some debris would fall from the ceiling. There was also some rodent feces on our bathroom floor that we complained about - no one ever followed up with us about this. The shower also had lots of moldy mildew around the corners that looks like poor upkeep or cleaning. The person at the front desk wrote this down but seemed rather unbothered, like they were aware of this issue. They said maintenance would return on January 2 and take a look because they were away for the new year. Nope, no one showed up.
(3) The front door locks after a very early time each night. You have to buzz in and wait for someone to unlock the door with a button at the front desk. In a city like Amsterdam, most people are spending late nights at a bar or restaurant, so this was an issue when on one occasion we waited for nearly five minutes in the rain to get back inside. We also ordered some food via Uber Eats and the delivery person could not figure this doorbell situation out so he abandoned his delivery and left us hungry. There needs to be a large sign explaining this and guests should be informed when checking in. Even better, install a key reader so that we can enter with our room keys… this seems like a no brainer.

Dear Lewis, Thank you for your stay and writing a review about our home. We’re happy to see that our front staff was able to accommodate you and help you with your questions. Your compliments will be passed on to them and to our breakfast staff. Our twinbed is a boxspring with a topper on it as a bedding type. Upon booking, you are able to let us know your preference and we will try to give you the desired type. This is based on availability. It is possible that the other couples had let us know upon arrival and we were able to accommodate them in their preference. Our staff will always try to make your experience better if you have any problems with the room and we have extra powerportals at our front desk which you can use in your room. I’m sorry to see that there was no follow up about the ceiling and we will have a talk about it with our Technical Department. As well as with our Housekeeping Manager about the stains that we’re in the shower. We have a high standard about this in our hotel, so we will make sure that it will not happen again. For safety reasons we have to close the frontdoor in the evening to guarantee the safety of our guests and staff. I will make sure that there is a sign on the door which will point out our intercom system. Our deepest apologies to you for the discomfort during your stay. We hope to have you back again at Banks Mansion and we’re able to redeem ourselves. If you have any questions, please sent an e-mail to desk@banksmansion.nl with respect to Josine.

The Banks Mansion was a highlight of our trip to Amsterdam. The location cannot be any better as it's just outside the "center" area and is a bit more relaxed while still close to all the action. We stayed in a "comfy" room on the street side (not a canal view) which was a perfect size for a couple. Outside noise was never an issue. Bathroom was fabulous with a large walk-in shower (excellent water pressure!) and separate soaking tub. The "living room" area was so much fun each evening with the wine hours, cheese cart plus other beverages. It was a great way to meet other travelers and share stories (and get tips!). Breakfast area wasn't too crowded if you got there early, it got busy towards 9:30 but never felt packed or hard to find food. The choices were good and replenished often with made to order eggs, french toast (really good!) and pancakes. I really like the bacon as it was always really crispy!
The best part of our stay was everyone who works here. I'm terrible with names but everyone we encountered from August 8th to August 14th has been amazing. From the lobby staff to the breakfast crew, everyone was so friendly and helpful. Every dinner recommendation turned out excellent (Rembrandt Square area and Asian Kitchen). The gentleman working the overnight shift was always so friendly when we came rolling in late. We mentioned to the front desk that we really liked the candy and they left a little care package in our room for the trip home.

We stayed Easter weekend, we arrived early and asked if we could check in our luggage which we were able to do so meaning we could explore Amsterdam for longer. We checked in early ( around 2pm) as our room was ready and we were very happy with the room it was clean, we asked for a double bed and just to note it is like most hotels 2 twins pushed together, the wardrobe had an ironing board, iron and umbrella for guests to use. The room also had a safe, robes and slippers and drinks to make mocktails, the mini fridge had still water, sparkling water, Heineken, Heineken 0 , lemonade and a mixer and a small bar of Tony's chocolate. The shower has a handheld shower and a rain water shower and body lotion, shampoo and conditioner with the hotel branding on there was also shower caps and an energising wet wipe. We also had a coffee machine in the room with 3 pods of coffee. We stayed in the comfy room and it was very quiet. Breakfast was a continental breakfast but also offering food cooked to order. There was also snacks offered on a morning which would be up on the board in the living each day of what to expect Saturday was Dutch cookies and Sunday was Easter biscuits and chocolate and pick and mix style sweets. There is also a cheese buffet and wine buffet each day. The living had lots of choice for both alcoholic and soft drinks as well as still and sparkling water and cucumber to garnish.

We loved Banks Mansion. The location was ideal - within walking distance of most main attractions in the central area. Our rooms were quiet and comfortable and there was a great selection of free drinks in the mini bar. The breakfast was excellent and Sandra, the cook, cooked your eggs any way you liked. All served with a smile. We really liked the lobby, or Living Room, in the hotel where you can help yourself to free drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and snacks all day. It is a lovely relaxed space where guests sit and linger after a day of sight seeing. Last, but not least, the staff are awesome... they are so friendly and helpful and they really want you to enjoy your stay, which we most definitely did.

This is probably the best hotel we have ever stayed in over the past 25 years. We spent 4 wonderful days in Amsterdam and the Banks Mansion was a highlight. We would return in a heartbeat. The location is very central in the old city area on an intersection of the Herengracht Canal. The service was impeccable. The front desk was very helpful with directions and local maps, recommendations for local restaurants, booking tours and scheduling pickup for return to the airport. Breakfast was started with fresh squeezed juice, cheese, sliced meat, pastries, yogurt and eggs/bacon cooked to order. Light streams in each morning to brighten this lower level. When we returned in the afternoon the wine and light afternoon refreshments were available daily at no charge. The lobby area was mainly a lounge area with several different seating types from couches, to multiple four-seat areas for guests to meet and talk about their tours and exploring. Additionally, there is a full bar in the lounge area that it open 24 hour a day. You just help yourself. Ice, glasses, alcohol and mixers are provided, no additional charge. We lucked out and had an upgraded room on the third floor with street corner and full canal view. So worth the extra $ to see all the activity that goes on day and night. Lots of bicycles everywhere even at 2-3 am. We walked everywhere from the central location, to museums, restaurants and canal boat tours. We even figured out the light train system to get us to the tours to Keukenhof Tulip & Flower Gardens. Don't miss these gardens. They are only open to the public mid-March to mid-May.

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. The room we had was 412, on the small side for the price by today's standards (though we are not familiar with Amsterdam hotels): we traveled with two carryon suitcases and 2 small day packs and for convenience we stored the second suitcase in the bathtub. Otherwise, the room was quiet, the windows opened allowing for fresh air, and well designed. The mattress was uneven with the side facing most of the room was saggy, probably from being sat on more than the other side. The breakfasts were terrific, with a large choice of baked goods, meats, fruits, and made to order egg dishes. I reserve my highest praise for staff. Everyone was knowledgeable and kind, and went out of their way to be helpful. However, the price of our room was high, and in my view, it was not a good value

Hi - jus my experience, bu we took the train to Amsterdam Centraal a then a 10 euro Uber to the hotel as we ha luggage. Going home (to the airport) the hotel arranged a 58 euro taxi which was super quick and convenient. You’ll love your stay at the banks mansion! Enjoy!
Check in isn't until 2 pm so there may well be a delay with them having your room ready. Other travelers have until 11 am to check out. There is a full, complimentary bar in the lobby complete with coffee and non-alcoholic beverages as well. I would certainly check with the front desk to see if you could use the breakfast room the morning of your arrival.
There are more places to choose from in the Amsterdam area.
