Our service at the table was a Young man named Frank and he made our evening very enjoyable with a good conversations and a few jokes. We hope to return within the two weeks of our vacation.

My stay at the Dylan was very unfortunate. An employee of mine was eating french fries in the…read morefront yard while we waited for a taxi. After seeing many other hotel guests eat french fries in the same area, my (non white) employee was asked to leave. This seemed targeted and aggressive. The hotel refused to apologize, stood their ground that it's ok for some guests to eat in the yard but not others, and they can enforce on whoever they like. The Dylan should be ashamed and are an insult to the location's history of feeding the poor and elderly. Shame on them and shame on the general manager for refusing to even apologize. Seems their empathy is reserved for elderly, white guests. If you are against classism and racism, don't support this business.

I stayed two nights here for my birthday and two nights at De L'Europe Amsterdam. The Dylan was 11/10 and I will be returning! My birthday was everything I could've dreamed. From check in to the front desk employees to the concierge to the breakfast employees to house keeping. Everyone that works at this hotel acknowledges you asks how your day is going and makes sure you have everything you need. I've traveled all over and this by far has to be one of the best teams I've ever experienced. Beyond recommend this hotel.

If you're craving genuine, heartwarming Dutch comfort food near Leidseplein, The Pantry is the real…read moredeal. The space is quaint, cozy, and feels like stepping straight into a classic Dutch living room. If it's your first time or you just want a bit of everything, the stamppot combination plate is unbeatable. Getting to sample all three traditional mashes--hutspot, boerenkool, and zuurkool--paired with a juicy smoked sausage or traditional Dutch meatball is pure comfort on a plate. The Erwtensoep (Dutch pea soup) served with rye bread and smoked bacon is rich, thick, and incredible on a cool afternoon. Start off with the bitterballen or Dutch shrimp croquettes to share while you wait. Service is super friendly, welcoming, and effortlessly switches between languages without missing a beat. Because the dining room is small and intimate, it fills up remarkably fast--booking a table online in advance is essential, especially if you're aiming for dinner. A total gem for proper, unpretentious Dutch cuisine!

Booked a table for two at The Pantry. Completely dissatisfied with the dining experience. We…read morearrived five minutes before our reservation time. We felt like if we had been just a minute late, our table would have been given to someone else. Head Server rushed us to a table. The tables were packed like sardines in a can...barely enough room to sit down. Head server reminded us that we have only an hour and a half time slot for dinner. We then waited 20 minutes before another server took our orders, appetizer took another 20 minutes to be served. We didn't get our main dishes until an hour into our dining time slot. Because The Pantry crowds diners so tightly together, the place is extremely loud...so loud that I felt I like I was part of the adjoining tables' conversations. We could not hear eachother. It was impossible to hold a conversation. It was school cafeteria loud. We were unable to talk about the day and enjoy our meals...the noise was too distracting. Our food was nothing special. It tasted just ok. We expected it to taste better. The sauerkraut tasted pickled...like out of a jar. The red cabbage was overly sweet. The stew had only four chunks of beef. Overall, the food didn't taste fresh made. My wife could have cooked a better dinner at home. When visiting a new country, one expects better food (quality and taste) for 60 Euro. Not sure why other patrons line up to eat here. We will not return to The Pantry.

One of my favorite places to visit in the whole world is Volendam, Netherlands. I've had many fun…read morenights at De Dijk over the years, but this trip was a little different. This time I was there with my daughter and her best friend (both 16) on their Spring Break trip, so my priorities looked a little less like nightlife and a little more like making sure everyone was fed, safe, and happy. My daughter's friend has a severe allergy to fish, nuts, and kiwi, so when we travel with her, we have to be really intentional about where we eat. De Dijk was the first place we stopped for food, and they were fantastic. The food was delicious, the staff was incredibly kind and friendly, and they were very attentive and accommodating when it came to her allergies, which I really appreciated. We were only in Volendam for two days, and we ended up eating here twice . . . partly because it was so good, and partly because they're one of the only places serving food on the Dijk after 9:00pm. This is a must-stop for me anytime I'm in Volendam, and I'll definitely be back soon.

Cons: distance away from Rotterdam.
