It is a beautiful hotel and the staff was amazing! It is in a great location and the restaurant Jansz served one of the best meals of our entire trip. read more

We were here for a wedding. I was excited to try this hotel after doing some research and based on a local Amsterdam friend raving about it. It truly is a unique hotel in terms of how the historic buildings along the canal have been joined together to create a world-class hotel. The room is a little cozy but understandable given the location. The gym is decent. The staff is great and you can't beat the location and the unique aspects of it. I recommend it. read more

Pulitzer Amsterdam - Sea bass - Hotels Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Had a really lovely stay here and would highly recommend it for anyone visiting Amsterdam. This hotel is beyond charming! The rooms have great canal views and taking the boat tour via the hotel is an absolute must (59 euros). Winston Churchill even traveled on the boat and it was a nice more private way to experience the history of the canals. Tony, the captain, was great. Service here is definitely 5 star, very friendly and accommodating. Sophia at the front desk was wonderful. Breakfast was included in my stay with Amex, but if yours isn't, I'd recommend somewhere outside the hotel for more of a selection. The concierge service was excellent and helped me with a number of recommendations that were all wonderful. Bonus they are available 7am-11pm! I wish I had a longer stay and will have to try the spa on my next visit. I had one issue at the end of my stay where a male housekeeper let himself in my room after only a brief knock and didn't wait for a response to open the door. Just a good reminder for any traveler to keep the locks bolted when in your room. read more

Everything. Great location. Excellent staff. Rooms with canal views. Excellent restaurants.

Lovely hotel in the heart of Amsterdam. Get a canal-view room for the lovely views. The hotel room was very spacious, clean and modern, with a nice splash of color. The bathroom was clean and functional with a double shower head (regular & rainfall). The bar cart where the TV sits has a bunch of snacks and drinks for a fee, but there's plenty of glasses and even drink mixer if you feel inclined to mix your own. I received a lovely notebook as a welcome gift, hand delivered by a staff member. The room also had an electric hot water kettle, a french press, and pack of ground coffee and a small selection of teas, perfect for having a cup every morning or afternoon. Plus there was a complimentary 4-pack of small stroopwaffels as well. The bed was soft but firm enough for my liking and the pillows were decently firm as well. The blanket was comfortable and warm enough, but I did have to turn up the temperature in the room for comfort. The shower had great water pressure, water temperature was different between the two shower heads, but just required some adjusting when switching. There's a dual voltage outlet inside the bathroom for shavers, plus an outlet just outside the door for the hair dryer. The hotel is really nice and is connected internally to each region by glass covered walkways (so you don't have to go outside) but there are a ton of stairs throughout, despite there being elevators. I had to take a step up and 2 steps down to get to my room from the elevator. There's lots of art and lovely decor, plus garden seating as well, so wander around the hotel when you get a chance. The gym is small and functional, with a second story with weights and a rowing machine, towels and water provided in the gym. The porter gave me a full room rundown when walking me to the room, which was a great service to start the experience. The check-in and check-out experience was seamless as well, staff was super courteous and provided everything I needed. The location of this hotel cannot be beat as well -- walking distance to Anne Frank house and various tourist spots. All in all, lovely 5-star hotel that I would definitely stay at again! read more

I love this hotel. It is approachable and sophisticated, yet fun. The decor is lively and inviting, not the staid, muted tones you so often see in hotels. We had a one bedroom suite that overlooked the canal. It was perfect for our family of three, as can be seen in the accompanying pictures. They put a comfortable rollaway by the window overlooking the canal for my daughter. She loved the view! The drapes were blackout, so the large windows allowed her to sleep as late as needed. I would be doing fellow readers a disservice were I not to mention the food. Everything we ate was delicious, even the toast. Especially the toast. I honestly should have taken a loaf home with me. The Apple strudel was so good that we ordered it multiple times during the week and refused to share with one another. There are a couple of areas to eat, along with two bars. Alas, I cannot speak to any sort of workout rooms. The walking we did was enough to help us work off all the treats. We sent out laundry multiple times and were pleased with how everything was handled. The housekeeping staff did a very thorough job with keeping our room spotless. They even replaced the stroopwaffles whenever we would get low. The location of the hotel cannot be beat. Do yourself a favor and get some pastries around the corner at Bussia. The sun bun is heaven. There's great retail therapy, restaurants, and museums within walking distance. We will absolutely stay here again when we are back in Amsterdam. read more

I recently stayed at the Pulitzer Hotel in Amsterdam. It is a tremendous property. It spans almost a whole city block and is composed of numerous townhouses connected together over the years. You can wander around the halls and the gardens and get a feel for how the houses all fit together. The staff is amazing - from the bell caps who greet you at the front door, to the checkin folks, the concierge and the folks at the lobby bar and Pulitzer Garden restaurant, everyone is courteous and helpful. The rooms are a nice size with new modern bathrooms. It's a great hotel and I had a great stay. read more

It started out great! We we're early for check in. The concierge suggested a water tour of Amsterdam. What a great suggestion! 90 minutes on a private vessel, with Tony the captain navigating the waterways of the city. Then lunch at the Pulitzer. Food was good. The risotto with asparagus was in season and delicious. However, they forgot the dessert and never checked back until we waived the second shift waiter down. Checked in at the desk for our room before lunch. Guaranteed at 3pm. Checked back again at 3. Checked again, and again... Eventually we were settled. That evening my wife was Ill from a bug so I ventured down the the concierge desk in the morning. He was kind and helpful, directing me to a local drugstore. Service for breakfast was much better on the second day. The staff made the difference on day two of our stay. read more

Loved the unique atmosphere with a mix of new and old design! Its location is convenient and the staff is so welcoming and friendly. Loved their bar and enjoyed the delicious breakfast. We will definitely be back! read more

Excellent hotel , the staff is impeccable. Before we stayed here we checked reviews on various travel sites. There were many raves about various aspects of the hotel, what was unusual and striking were the many comments on the beds and pillows. They were all right on the mark. We were so comfortable that we overslept badly and missed our first tour. The hotel is comprised of 25 interconnected canal houses, so it is quite large. Everything was first class, from the concierges recommendations for tours and restaurants, to their own small one hundred year old boat for canal tours. Occupancy on the tour was limited so book early. It cost more than the commercial tours but the boat was a treat in itself and the captain very knowledgeable . The hotel has an excellent breakfast including a buffet, as well as offering eggs of all sorts or pancakes or French toast. The restaurant also offers excellent lunch and dinner options . It is very centrally located , on a beautiful canal, and in the area the locals call the nine streets. They are filled with shopping, cafes, and restaurants. read more

Exceptional service at this hotel. We arrived at 5 am from our international flight and the staff was very accommodating. The hotel was sold out so we were not able to check in early they instead offered us a refresh room while we waited for room availability. read more

I'd stayed here a number of years ago when it was still a part of SPG/Starwood. I had stayed in a room with a courtyard view then. ROOM: We stayed here for 4 nights and booked through Citi Prestige's travel services (google it and you'd understand why). We had the Classic Queen Canal View Room and it faced the canal at the back of the hotel. Loved the room, decor, the free coffee, stroopwafels, and the Le Labo Santal toiletries. The room was pretty quiet despite being on the 2nd floor (I think). Only quip is the queen sized bed felt small, definitely not a US queen size. The lighting was great. I couldn't help but thinking the church bells we heard, Anne Frank would've heard too. It was a bit of a walk to get from our room to the front entrance but it was easy to figure out. If you have accessibility concerns, you should let the front desk know before you get your room key. LOBBY: Love the decor. Very nicely decorated. If you are a fan of Anthropologie, you would like it here. FRONT DESK/CONCIERGE: No complaints here. I did reach out to the concierge beforehand and booked the canal tour but ended up cancelling. If you want to spend more on Wow experiences, they definitely had a lot of suggestions for those. LOCATION: I wouldn't say it's centrally located but it's close enough to walk to the train station (or you can jump on the bus) and the museums. And it's really close to the Anne Frank house. You can't dismiss the quaintness of staying on the canals in this area. There are also a ton of boutiques nearby. The public transportation system was relatively easy to figure out. We only used Uber/cars for the airport. FOOD: There is a cafe which is really convenient for a quick bite or grab and go. We got coffee here to go. One night we were exhausted and resorted to Jansz for dinner. When we called down to ask if the restaurant had availability, the front desk told us no. So, we walked down to the restaurant to ask and they sat us right away. Food was ok, and the clientele was mostly American like us, but compared to the other places we ate at, I would suggest you explore the other options. Would I stay here again? I think I will explore the other lodging options next time - there are so many good ones here! read more

One of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, I wondered what they were ON. The bathroom was beautiful with Villeroy & Boch fixtures. The room cosy and comfortable though a tad dim. Our view was to an interior courtyard. The bed and linens were so plush you just sunk down into them when you got in. We did not eat in the hotel, opting to explore Amsterdam's numerous restaurant, but there are several. Because this hotel is a collection of several rowhouses, you must step up or step down to move throughout the building. That might be an impediment for some. For us, this was a lovely place to end our Amsterdam vacation. read more

Charming hotel in a great location. Their concierges were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I will definitely stay here every time I am in town. read more

This is a charming boutique hotel in the 9 streets. It is overlooking the canal. It is within walking distance to the Anne Frank House, which is a bonus. There are a lot of local shops and restaurants in the area as well, which makes it a convenient location. TIP: There's a church nearby which rings its bells every half hour. The bell rings can be heard inside the hotel rooms. Bring noise-canceling headphones. They have very attentive front and restaurant staff. TIP: They have free water-still and sparkling-at the porters' desk. They have a nice bar and restaurant-Jansz-although they are a bit on the pricey side but could be expected to be in the area. Breakfast at Pause though is more reasonable. TIP: If you're planning on eating buffet at the hotel, prepay at the front desk. You'll save ~ 7€. The accommodations are relatively reasonable. The bed is comfortable. The sheets are soft. I wish they had more, and bigger pillows, but that is more of a personal preference. Also, the towels could be thicker and more fluffy, but that again is a matter of preference. Overall, I would highly recommend the Pulitzer. I would stay here again should I return to Amsterdam. read more

Stayed here for one night, we checked in around 11am and it went very smoothly, the staff is all so nice, they upgraded our room as well(there was 4 of us), to a family room. The room was really quaint and cottage like, felt like we were skiing. The bathroom was a good size and adjacent to the queen bed downstairs, there were some steep stairs up to two twin beds. Super super cute. Also the scent of the hotel is absolutely amazing! We will be buying for our own home. We had a snack at the restaurant bar, it was pretty good but nothing insanely memorable. We had breakfast the next morning at Jansz and it was also pretty solid. The only think I will say is we had the hotel concierge set up a dinner reservation for us and it was not the best. They sent us to another hotel that was basically empty in the dining room and a weird vibe. Also when we google mapsed the hotel--when we first arrived-- the location was wrongly set. It brought us about 2 blocks away, as we were not familiar with the streets it was a little confusing, we asked a few locals before calling the hotel and they all seemed a little confused. The hotel helped us out though and it turned out to be just 2 blocks down on the other side of the Anne Frank house. Overall enjoyed our stay! read more

While traveling through we stayed at the Pulitzer. The room we had was basic with rustic charm and an amazing rain shower! Each morning we had breakfast which consisted of an American breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, and pancakes, plus they offered a nice selection of pastries, yogurt, and meats and cheeses. The staff were also very helpful with restaurant recommendations, things to see, as well as generally assisting with luggage transportation and airport shuttles. read more

Everything about this amazing hotel was out of bounds! The hotel is set within twenty-five restored 17th and 18th century houses that once set the scene for prosperous business deals between trade merchants and played home to the decadent and flamboyant lives of Dutch aristocrats. Food was yummazing, staff incredible & such attention to detail...one could very easily miss something! Will definitely stay here again! read more

Beautifully situated in ~25 canal homes and beautifully re-constructed to make for a unique singular hotel thats modern, comfortable and safe. This explains why you'll find hallways that twist and turn and are up and down stairs with in the same floor. My room was a former storage room/warehouse with exposed brick walls and wooden ceiling beams. Super cool, extremely quiet and absolutely comfortable. I rally enjoyed my experience here - especially the location which is situated in the prime area of the city with an easy walk to most places you will likely want to visit including the Anne Frank House, canal boat tours, prime shopping and unique cafes. The only negative was that it seemed super busy (I'm thinking due to travel tour groups) that caused the Front Desk staff to be overwhelmed - it would take at least 5 solid minutes if not more before someone would answer the phone when calling from my guest room and lines were often formed in person if you approach in the afternoon. Otherwise 5 star stay and looking forward to my return! read more

I waver between four and five stars for the hotel. The location is great, short walk to almost everything (including two minutes from the Anne Frank House). A fantastic concierge, got us tickets to Rijksmuseum and Anne Frank without any trouble (the latter is quite difficult). Breakfast was generally great, fantastic buffet with smoked fish, pastries, wonderful cheese and charcuterie, fruit and granola. Also breakfast entrees included, most of which were great (avoid the eggs Benedict, all the other breakfast options were better and the Eggs Benedict didn't really work well). So why did I almost give four stars to such a great hotel. When I booked via Expedia, I booked two twin rooms with two beds each. I also added a note in the comments field that we wanted two beds (just in case they forgot). We got there late, and when we got to the rooms, both only had one king bed. Too tired to complain and then the next day it wasn't worth moving. The two twins was one of the key reasons we picked the hotel and they should be more conscientious about giving guests what they request. read more

We spent three nights at the Pulitzer and loved every moment. Being a hotel across numerous canal houses, the hotel has a lot of character, stairs and windy halls. You can access the hotel from either canal, depending on time of day from the Kaizergracht side as you'll be going through the bar or restaurant. SERVICE: I emailed the week before with two requests: early check-in and to be on the Kaizergracht canal. Both requests were fulfilled!! We were in our room by 12:30 PM and we were on the Kaizergracht side of the hotel (one set of my great grand parents lived on Kaizergracht between the 1930s-1960s so it was WONDERFUL to imagine my great grandparents looking at a similar view just a little bit down the canal). Staff was always friendly and prompt with each request. The hotel porter promptly brought our luggage to our room when it was available and quickly retrieved it for our departure. With all the stairs, it's nice to have reliable porter service! ROOM: We stayed in room 362, classified as a "Generous King Canal View Room." It is a spacious European room for two. The king bed does not feel crowded in the room. We appreciated the settee and desk chair so that we each had a place to sit. The view of the canal is fantastic. Open a window to hear the sounds of residents and tourists. IMO the view from 362 is better than the view from the Jansz restaurant because you are up three floors (I took pictures of the exterior so you can see which canal house 362 is a part of). I loved having an electric kettle with no plastic parts to make morning tea. Each day we were given a delicious snack and bottles of water (macrons, chocolates, etc. each afternoon). The room and bathroom were VERY clean. There was nothing tired in the room. I loved the little gift of a Dutch cycling patch kit :-) After Amsterdam we embarked on a 6 day cycling trip between Amsterdam and Bruges. Additional sweet details: providing a bag to be used at the grocery/pharmacy (I knew to bring my own, but I loved that they had a bag in the room) as well as an umbrella (again we knew to bring rain gear). BATHROOM: large walk in shower, the toilet was a bit high for me. I'm 5'4" and found that my feet could not touch the ground and was on my the tips of my toes. Spacious shower, nice toiletries (I didn't use much, but my husband liked them, although they are from NYC which is a little disappointing - we'd prefer something Dutch). Very clean. Replenished with towels as needed. Magnifying makeup mirror and no-fog main mirror. BREAKFAST @ JANSZ: We enjoyed our breakfasts in the Jansz each morning. Warm breakfast is included, this morning so many guests were concerned about ordering a warm breakfast in addition to eating from the buffet - I can't count the number of times I heard servers say it's included. The warm breakfasts are fantastic and INCLUDED! I had the eggs brioche and eggs Benedict. My husband had the omelette each day. The buffet includes breads, cheese, meats, yogurt and such. We did not eat from the buffet because the warm breakfast portions are large. Coke light (Diet Coke) is available at breakfast for those that are addicted, like my husband... TEA @ PAUSE: By the hotel lobby is a light cafe, Pause. I met with women from the American Women's Club and we enjoyed tea the first morning we arrived. Service was great. Tea was wonderful. One thing to note: it is a greenhouse-like space and it got very warm while we were seated there - wear layers that can be removed. ROOM SERVICE: The last night we were in Amsterdam, I went out to take nighttime pictures of the canals. By the time I got back to our room we were both exhausted & hungry so we ordered room service. Room service was quick, the food was still warm, and it was delicious. I had a croque monsieur, which was NOT greasy. My husband had a COMMON AREAS: There are many nooks and crannies where you can sit and find some quiet. There is a beautiful courtyard that has one section available with heaters and blankets. LOCATION: Located in the Jordaan neighborhood we never had problems with noise or drunk people at night. Staying on the Kaizergracht side GORGEOUS sunlight filled our room each morning (we were there when there was oddly little rain and the blackout curtains are effective until you remove them). It is an easy walk all the prime spots. If you don't want to walk, you can easily hop on the tram, ask for a taxi or use your phone to get an Uber. TIP: Go to Marqt Wolvenstraat a short walk away to pick up healthy/organic salads, sandwiches, and more that you can enjoy from the warmth and comfort of your room or picnic in the Pulitzer's courtyard. Absolutely nothing to complain about. We loved every minute and will go back. read more

The Good: :: unique, local hotel---very well-done mood lighting and furnishings :: location is great---close to the central parts of Amsterdam but in a less touristy area :: close to the 9 Streets, which is full of boutique stores, cafes, restaurants, more :: beautiful garden grounds :: great amenities in the hotel room, like complimentary water, high-end bath soaps and gels, teas, coffees, and more :: gorgeous furnishings :: nice bathroom---very bright and good lighting The Bad: :: you may get woken up by the hourly sounds of the nearby church bells tolling on the hour, every hour. even with the window closed, you can still hear it :: not a particularly warm environment. the hotel seems a bit too trendy and snooty for my taste. service was professional but not warm and engaging. felt too robotic and aloof for me. :: wifi was absolute shit. you could connect but it wouldn't stay connected. your connection would drop and you would have to disconnect from the wifi point to get back on. really frustrating when you are trying to get work done. The Ugly: :: none Would I go back? Maybe, but definitely not for work. Going with a group of friends or solo for holiday would be a better reason and purpose to stay here, I think. This place is IN, but for fun, not for work. read more

One of the most beautiful, spacious, well designed hotels I've ever stayed in. The Pulitzer is right along the canals, and it's almost a campus in itself. When you check in, they give you a map of the hotel (it feels like a campus!) There is a ton of relaxing outdoor areas to chill in throughout the day. Within, they a have a garden cafe, a bar and a restaurant. I tried all of them, and loved the unique feel of each. The rooms have a comfy cottage feel, and the bed/pillow combo was the perfect sleep away from home. The staff is super friendly and I would never feel the need to try any other hotels during future Amsterdam visits. This is it! My description won't do it justice, but photos will! read more

Favorite hotel I've ever stayed out. So eclectic - wandering the halls is a museum in itself! Took their canal boat ride my first night in the city and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend this - they give you a glass of champagne right when you step on, and the boats have some serious old school charm. Also the bar in the bottom of this hotel is fantastic. Great wines and cocktails!! Thank you Pulitzer for a fantastic trip! read more

Pulitzer Amsterdam - Hotels Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Three night stay. This is an exceptional hotel. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could. We flew in and landed early in the morning and came directly to the hotel. We arrived around 8:30 AM and were exhausted. They were very kind and allowed us to check in right away. We had a room in the back with a Gardenview. It was perfect and very quiet. The room was massive by European standards. It was very comfortable, large windows, nice bathroom, everything you could ask for and more in a European hotel room. Hotel is a very unique and beautiful design. Food is very good, staff is very kind and courteous. Also nice that they do not nickel and dime you. For example, the Nespresso machine and capsules in the room or complementary and they continuously brought us additional capsules as we used them throughout our stay. Get the breakfast included with your rate if possible. We had it included, tried it downstairs in the restaurant, and also had room service delivered to the room. Very good. Also nice to have tea or snacks in the courtyard. Wonderful macaroons! Hotel is centrally located, a few blocks from the Anne Frank House and definitely walkable to Museumplein and plenty of other attractions. We also took the canal cruise offered by the hotel and it was definitely well worth it. Highly recommend the Pulitzer for your stay in Amsterdam! read more

On our recent trip to Europe my husband found this gem, knowing I like style and comfort. This was the best hotel of our trip, great staff and especially concierges, breakfast was classy with made to order dishes, hotel space is amazing, fun to hang out in an relax, everything is beautifully done and playful. We happened to be there for the opening party and had a blast drinking, listening to music and people watching, Europeans know how to dress, especially the men. The beds are amazing and my nickname is princess and the pea, so tough to please:) A few things to improve: 1. The bathroom is tiny and the European shower floods when you turn on the second shower head, it can't be angled which is an oversight. On the other hand the water pressure is superb and so are the products. 2. An easily accessible full length mirror would help, it's inside of a closet that is cramped and the door does not swing open all the way. 3.I couldn't see through the key hole, I'm 5'4 but I guess that's too short. 4. One day our room was not cleaned as we got back at 6pm, they claimed we had do not disturb on the door, we never do. They said they would clean it right away but didn't really apologize or accept fault, perhaps offer us free drinks while we are waiting instead of relaxing after a day of walking and needing to get ready for dinner. 5. While we never heard noise through walls we could hear front doors slam and shake the wall, this by far was very annoying as we were staying up late and woken up at 7 by other guests as they exited their rooms. This should have been constructed better. This place is gorgeous, I hope the fix these quarks. At this rating and prices I expect not to have these issues, $333 per night is not cheap, and we had one of the basic rooms, their rates go much higher than that. read more

A maze-like hotel in a phenomenal location. The youngest person I saw there was a teenager- I guess at around $400 a night that's to be expected. After walking through the wide revolving door we found ourselves in a small lobby. We had called ahead for an early check in and were placed in an inner room, which faced a hallway. The little fire exit map behind the door shows the sizes of all the rooms and it appeared to be one of the smaller ones. But since we were only staying two nights and didn't plan on spending much time in the hotel room, it didn't matter whether we had a canal view or not. I was happy enough that the ceilings were super high and the bed was quite luxurious. Room service at 3am (jet lag hunger!) is a bit limited but available. There is free internet in the business center for 30 minutes at a time, otherwise you need to pay for wifi in your room. I enjoyed the free bottle of water and stroop waffles every night. read more

Hotel Pulitzer is always my Hotel whenever I am visiting Amsterdam. Centrally located close to most of the attractions and basically you can walk everywhere. Aside for the location, Hotel Pulitzer is a little piece of history in itself. The hotel is really a block of 25 restored 17th and 18th century canal houses. A lot of the details are left impact... It is really quiet at night since it is in one of the more residential area... a place with History.... and I am staying in my room alone.....The interior area can be a little maze specially after having a drink or 2 at night or a visit to the "Coffee Shop". Staffs are always professional and helpful. I definitely will be back again when I am visiting Amsterdam! read more

Great hotel in Amsterdam - - and I also believe the only Starwood choice. As SPG platinum members, we were upgraded to a "Jr Suite", I believe. It was perfect for our 2-night stay in Amsterdam. But yes, since this unique property is a number of converted canal houses, each room is different. Ours, 474, was towards the back side of the property and on the "sixth floor". We'd have to walk through a series of halls, rooms, and a few small flights of stairs, and take an elevator to reach our room. But it was nice - - nice lofted ceilings with the exposed brown wood beams. Bathroom was larger for us -- I've had larger bathrooms, but I wouldn't describe this as small. We also had a sink, small refrigerator, and weirdly a couple burners to heat/cook items. Nice inviting sitting area, table & chairs, desk.... there were also a couple skylights in our room. It was cute. For being SPG plat, we were offered complimentary breakfast each morning. No club lounge here, but the bar was sufficient. Oh, and we received a nice welcome card and box of local dutch cookies. Plus each day we had some great cookies set out on the desk - - stroopwafels. Thinner waffle-type cookies with almost like a carmel interior. yummy! WiFi was kinda spotty.... The staff was great! read more

My second visit (using Sheraton Points) to this hotel was as good as the first. I arrived around noon as was quickly assigned a single room overlooking an interior small courtyard. Not much of a view but it did provide a good light. The room was large by Euro Standard and furnished sparsely with high quality items. A large flat screen TV, queen sized bed with two end tables, a comfortable and well lit reading chair and an antique appearing armoire completed the furnishings. The bath was good sized with a deep tub and shower combination. The dark bar at the rear of the Hotel had excellent if somewhat pricey drinks and a very good staff of waiter and bartender. I could even find it without help through the maze of corridors associated with this collection of old canal houses. The entire staff were knowledgeable and helpful. When I arrived at the desk early for my morning checkout, the concierge was prompt to call my prearranged taxi and move the meeting time up. They were also prompt in correcting a erroneous charge on my bill. All in all, this hotel met all my expectation for a good stay in Amsterdam. read more

If I could give this hotel 100 stars I could. The Pulitzer sets the bar so high for hotels everywhere and I am so grateful I get to stay here as often as I do! This hotel is extremely unique; it's actually 25 canal houses all put together with a maze of corridors and stairs to make one hotel. I love it as you never know what you're going to get with your room and you'll definitely end up getting lost a few times but that's part of the fun. One time my room had a bicycle hanging in it. No one knows why, but it was cool. Another time my room was in the dormers and had a steep flight or stairs inside the actual room. This room also had roof access, was on the 4the floor, but was labeled with a 3. It's always an adventure at the Pulitzer. No matter which room you have, it will be expertly appointed with an eclectic mix of furnishings and outfitted with waffles, a bike repair kit, and very cute Delft China teacups. I really have restrained myself from taking these teacups home with me. They are so cute. The service at the Pulitzer is nothing short of amazing. The concierge will get you anything and everything you need and things you didn't even know you needed. The housekeeping staff keeps things very clean and the front desk staff is extremely helpful at every hour of the day. The Pulitzer has a small but good gym and a great coffee shop, bar, and restaurant which all deserve their own reviews. I'm short, the Pulitzer may be my favorite hotel I've been to thus far and I cannot imagine going to Amsterdam and not staying there. read more

This review is for the boat that belongs to this hotel that we took for a tour on the canals. We were greeted on the boat by the captain, dressed in an elegant navy uniform, he was very charming. The boat was made out of wood in the interior, very well maintained and cleaned. Later we learned that Sir Winton Churchill was on this boat so that made the boat ride even more special. Some beautiful tulips were on board, an iced bottle of champagne and a variety of cheese. During the tour I have learned what the three black XXX means on the Amsterdam flag. They stand for water, fire and the black plague, three bad things that happened to this city and the Xs are a reminder of that. Later on we had a delivery on the boat of "Bitter Balls" a local delicacy, it is meat and gravy made in a ball that is rolled in something similar to panko and deep fried. They were pretty tasty and they were served with a local Amsterdam beer. If you are visiting Amsterdam you have to do one of the canal tours. They also have nice dinner tours as well on the canals. read more

Great location, super friendly and accommodating staff, and an easy check-in process. We got in at 7am after a red-eye flight from Boston and our room was ready a little after 11am with no extra charge for early check-in. The hotel is within walking distance of lots of cool attractions, and it's just a couple minutes walking from the Westermarkt tram stop, making the whole city easily accessible. We rented bikes for two days and were able to lock them up right outside the hotel at night with no issues. My nitpicky issues with Pulitzer are few, but I'll mention them for the sake of leaving a balanced review. The brunch, at €28, is just too expensive. It's in their restaurant, Janzs, and it's lovely, but €28 is too much. We splurged one day and I'll admit the food didn't disappoint: unlimited coffee, water, juice, and champagne; a full yogurt/fruit/pastry bar; a bread/meat/cheese bar; AND THEN you get a hot entree to-order besides. If I could have eaten there for €15 I'd have had done it every day. The room cleaning service felt a little inconsistent and we had staff knocking at our door at seemingly random times of day just to see if we were there and if we wanted our room cleaned. Once, they said they'd seen our Do Not Disturb sign but thought maybe we'd just forgotten to take it off. (To be fair, this was on our last day, so they may have thought we'd already checked out - but this was a full 90 minutes before their generous 12pm checkout time.) BUT, you get free stroopwafels and a bottle each of still and sparkling water every day with the room cleaning service. It's little touches like that that make Pulitzer a wonderful place to stay. read more

I have been coming here for over 10 years, so great, service is the best. They filmed oceans 12 here. I wish i could give this more stars. The only negative is the church bells that ring every half hour !!! read more

See all

We had our first meal in Amsterdam here while we were waiting to get into our room. There was a three piece baguette on the menu which could be made w/ several fillings. Smoked salmon and brie were two that interested us. The waiter explained that they didn't have the right kind of bread (it was Sunday, which may have had something to do w/ it) and suggested he could make us a sandwich on a regular baguette, maybe of smoked salmon and avocado. That sounded terrific and when it came, it was. We had it w/ tea and it was better than just something to keep body and soul together. In addition to our waiter was a sweet and beautiful young woman, Christina. Over the course of several days we saw her several times, particularly when we were waiting the next day to find out about our room, whether it would be changed, etc. She was warm and sympathetic and we felt adopted by her. We had another lunch and a snack at the Espresso Bar. The lunch was the baguette trio, which were three tiny, tasty baguettes one spread w/ smoked salmon, one w/ tuna salad and one w/ brie. They were excellent. We had tea in the afternoon and an occasional morning croissant. I had a hot chocolate. It was a comfortable place to set up the computer and a comfortable place to eat and watch people. On our last day, when we said farewell to Christina we learned she was in hotel school and this was an internship. She is well suited to her profession. She has an intuitive warmth and feeling for hospitality. Four and a half stars, rounded up. read more

* Welcome to Yelp, Holland! * Just heard that Yelp is now in Holland. Nifty! The empire expands.... Figured I'd throw up a review of this nice hotel I stayed at last time I was in Amsterdam. It is located right by the Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht canals, making it an easy walk to everything in the old city centre. They converted and restored a series of classic canal houses into an interior maze of interconnecting hallways and steps where each room has its own character. They started me off with a room which was not one of their better ones, and apologized for doing so, and told me I could have a much better room the following night for the rest of the stay. After relocating to the new room I realized how important room selection is at this property! What a world of difference! I was moved into a room with a nice view, classic hardwood floors, and high ceilings. Lovely! In the hectic nature of Amsterdam, this spot provided a wonderful respite to recharge in.
