Loved this hotel!…read more Great location on a canal, close to tram stops, tons of restaurants and shopping. We didn't hear street noise at all. The decor is delightful - lots of color and patterns. There are several really nice sitting spaces along with a bar for drinks and snacks. There's also a self serve area with infused waters, coffee and cookies - nice!! Our room was plenty comfortable with a deep tub and firm mattress. Staff was uniformly great - willing to give recommends on things to do. And - hotel cats!!! Highly recommend!

Rooms at The Hoxton already have plenty of personality, but the corner room we ended up with made…read morethe stay feel even more distinctive. Windows on two sides filled the space with daylight and gave the room a bright, modern feel that worked beautifully with the building's history -- a 1920s structure that's been a workers' home, a youth prison, and a cultural landmark long before becoming a hotel. You can feel those past lives in the proportions, the hallways, and the way no two rooms seem to follow the same blueprint. Even without air conditioning, the room stayed surprisingly comfortable during an oppressively hot stretch. Being northeast‑facing helped, and keeping the windows open (as much as they were able to open -- each one had to be propped with a sock to stay in place) made a real difference. The small Dyson fan in the room also pulled its weight, though it needed to be placed on the table at night to create airflow you could actually feel. It wasn't perfect, but it worked well enough that the heat never became a deal‑breaker. The room itself was spacious and genuinely pleasant to spend time in -- bright, modern, and thoughtfully arranged. The bathroom was generously sized, and the shower felt expansive rather than just "big," with strong water pressure and a rain head that produced a wide, even cascade instead of the weak mist some hotels pass off as a rain shower. There were a few hiccups, most notably that only one elevator was working during our stay. The waits to go up were occasionally longer than ideal, especially during busier times. But service throughout the hotel was warm, and the public spaces had that relaxed, lived‑in Hoxton energy without feeling chaotic. The Eastern Docklands location is quieter than central Amsterdam, which ended up being a plus -- easy tram access when you want it, calmer surroundings when you don't. Overall, it's a memorable four‑star stay: full of character, shaped by the building's history, and made more interesting by the uniqueness of each room. The quirks are real, but so is the charm.

The Lloyd Hotel is worth a visit not only for its interior designed by different artists but it's…read morealso a lovely place to have breakfast/lunch/dinner outside on a sunny day. The staff is very friendly and mostly attentive, as you would expect it for a pricey location like that. The breakfast is good but some of the served dishes are bad value for money (e.g. a piece of bread with humus spread, a bush of rocket salad but only some crumbs of goat's cheese). The dinner I had there was good however (see pics).

As we were visiting Amsterdam again I decided, on this trip, to spoil us a little. On booking I was a little concerned that the Hard Rock organisation had taken this hotel over. So with trepidation I took the chance. OK, remember, we are oldies so can be hard to please some tell us. On arrival, the outside hadn't changed other than the bar now stretched out a little and there was service from the restaurant outside. Reception was so swift by a fantastic bubbly young lady who sorted out a room although we were three hours before the normal signing in. I wish I could remember her name. Walking to our room I noticed the architecture hadn't changed but the decoration was wonderful with so much rock music memorabilia. We LOVED it. The room, overlooking the canal, was a lot smaller than years ago but, shrug, space has to be filled. The room was more than adequate with a wonderful bathroom with walk-in shower. Breakfast was in the dining hall which was a high-light years ago. I was so pleased to see that none of the wonderful art deco had been lost. The President Hotel in Prague had ripped it all out there, sob. Here, there was modernisation, but the windows, walls and lights remained. Obviously the designer had looked and thought 'wow, we can't get rid of this'. Good on him/her. A fantastic stay and on our next visit we know where to stay. Really wish I could remember that young ladies name because she made that day for us. Hi

I was so impressed by the location and by the…read moreawesome, customer/service focused staff that when I visited Amsterdam with my family this year, I immediately book with them. Sometime in the recent past the hotel has undergone a major renovation. It looks great and very up to date. It is still a traditional European old school hotel, but with modern conveniences. The location can't be beat. it is walking distance from almost ALL the attractions that Amsterdam has to offer, including being close to the Central Train station. Their in-house restaurant (De Roode Leeuw )has excellent food and is surprisingly reasonably priced. I would like to highlight a very positive interaction I had with the head of their Rooms Division, a gentleman named Ron. We had several rooms and a guest or two. Ron and his staff did a fantastic job of helping us have a very successful visit by listening to our needs, and sorting out reservations, accommodations, and billing complexities. They are the best.

Our stay at the Jakarta Hotel in Amsterdam began beneath a veil of rain and ended in a dream from…read morewhich I was almost reluctant to awaken. The hotel rests in a secluded corner beside the river, removed from the city's restless clamor. Yet when night descends, the view becomes something altogether extraordinary. The dark water reflects the scattered lights of Amsterdam, each one trembling upon the surface like a distant and dying star. Should you stay here, I implore you--secure a room with a balcony facing the river. It is a sight worth surrendering sleep to behold. Our room was spacious, immaculate, and possessed of a magnificent bathtub, large enough to drown one's worldly troubles--or, in darker circumstances, one's enemies. The bed was exceedingly comfortable, though perhaps too comfortable, for once I entered its silken grasp, I feared I might never rise again. The staff were wonderfully kind and attentive, appearing whenever summoned and vanishing with the quiet efficiency of benevolent spirits. The pool was magnificent, and the spa and sauna offered a welcome escape from the world beyond. One warning, however: the sauna requires guests to be nude. I had not anticipated such a gathering of strangers in their natural state, and for a brief moment, I wondered whether I had entered a spa--or a very polite cult. The breakfast buffet each morning was nothing short of essential. The variety was excellent, and I returned to it with such dedication that the staff may have suspected I had taken up permanent residence beside the pastries. When evening came, the river darkened, the lights shimmered, and the hotel grew quiet. Sitting upon the balcony, I could almost imagine some pale figure moving beyond the glass, whispering softly from the water. But it was only Amsterdam. Or so I told myself.

We've been here now, four nights and we're checking out this morning. This Hotel's committed to…read moresustainability and the environment is notable and appreciated. They don't automatically plan for your maid service every day. You have to press a button near the door to signal that you'd prefer the room to be cleaned or not. They don't offer wash rags, but we were able to ask the Front Desk for seven they took care of us. The rooms are heated and cooled through the floor. So sudden changes in temperature were challenging. The restaurant had really good food and we enjoyed it on a number of occasions. They were featuring Indonesian cuisine that I was unfamiliar with and so I appreciated the fresh flavors and options. The cocktail service that we got it both bars was really good as well. They are emphasizing quality cocktails, and the art of cocktail making. The 8th floor bar, MALBAR, provided an excellent spot to enjoy a sunset, which we did twice. And the main bar in the lobby also had great customer service and attention to detail. The Hotel staff was gracious and courteous upon check-in and they helped me recover my phone when I lost it. Did the hotel is new and everything seemed to function well. Our fifth floor room had an unprecedented view of the river outside. The only concern you might have is that it's not near the city center, and you have to walk some distance to get there if that's what you wanna do. Uber worked very well for us on this particular trip, making it seem like we were near the city center with very little effort. So we've got good hotel staff, good food, a new building, and it too good bars. All of this adds up to a place with very worthy of your careful consideration as you plan your next stay in Amsterdam.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are small and modern. The shower is great, with strong water pressure and a cool shower head spray hose. Room amenities are sparce.

Just set expectations that the word "Motel" is in the name and you'll be fine.

As I mentioned the location of Park Centraal is exceptional, especially if you plan to visit the museums within walking distance:we visited the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh museum, Miniature museum, Moco museum, and Bols experience museum, all in the same vicinity. Our last afternoon yesterday, we spent about an hour next to the skate park which is smartly located in Museumplein, along with a playground, some basketball courts, and an empty fountain pool. Lots of benches for people to sit in community. It felt safe, and welcoming, and peaceful, while also full of life and fun activity. Location: 5/5 Staff: 5/5 -- thank you again to Maud and Oleksandra, and the staff who gave us vouchers for waiving cleaning days (good for a beer, prosecco or soda at the bar). Ambience: 5/5-lots of comfy couches fit lounging if you stay awhile. I'll miss the view from our 4th story window of rooftops and sky!!

The shower here is one of the European ones with only half glass covering it and the other half open. Mine with a bathtub so it was weird having to angle the shower head. There's also no outlet in the bathroom, so I had to do my hair at the desk without a mirror. They clean the room everyday and there was a complimentary bottle of water. My room was located on floor 4Z (not sure what the Z meant), but I had to take an elevator in the back (not the nice main elevator) and go past where all the laundry is kept to get to my room. Definitely a bit odd. Overall a decent hotel stay and staff is friendly and accommodating.
