My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. While the service was warm and friendly, and the room featured many luxurious amenities, the overall room experience fell short of expectations for the high price. The location, on the other hand, was unbeatable for exploring the heart of Amsterdam.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were luxurious and although very clean. The service from everyone, including the staff at the restaurants, the wonderful Flying Dutchman Bar with the fabulous bartender Dennis, and our fantastic butler on the 3rd floor, overlooking the courtyard, was exceptional. The location was perfect, right in the center of everything, with easy access to all major tourist sites. The dining experience was top-notch, with a wide selection to choose from, making it a highlight of my stay.
