Renaissance Amsterdam Hotel from check-in to check out was one of the best experiences I've had with a hotel in a long time. The recently remodeled Hotel property awaits you in the center of Amsterdam. The rooms are new and beautifully designed. The front desk staff is amazingly funny and great to talk to each day! The bedding is amazing and so is the temperature control. The most easy to use shower I've ever been in Europe with a button on and a button off. A special shout out to the hospitality agent named Fabio in the lounge. Such a warm and welcoming and happy entity. We love spending our early evenings with him and the rest of the staff and love the food selection and champagne that was available. The Fitness room is a bit difficult to find as it is off of floor two but must take a separate elevator to go to the basement where state-of-the-art equipment and cleanliness await you. Housekeeping is also very easy as you can press a button in your room for a green light to signal the staff to freshen up your room.

Cocktails in the lounge.

Very nice hotel in city center. Nice hotel bar, clean rooms and walking distance to almost everything. We stay here every time we're in town.

It was actually my friend who stayed at the Renaissance Amsterdam on his Amsterdam trip back in 2019 that put this hotel on the radar for me. I probably would have found it on my own anyways, but it was his very positive review of the Renaissance that sold me on staying here. Figured that I should check this hotel out even for one day since I will actually be staying here for a week this coming October. First things first, the service here is fantastic! I actually stopped by here on the Wednesday I got to Amsterdam to leave my bags while I checked out the city, despite not actually checking in here until the following Monday. They had no problems with that whatsoever! Then I also bought some very expensive stuff at De Bijenkorf nearby, and they were kind enough to store that for me until Monday when I could retake possession of it. Unfortunately they weren't able to give me a complimentary room upgrade with my Ambassador Elite status since they said the room was almost fully booked, but they did end up giving me free breakfast. Can't complain about that! Thankfully, this room was very American in style. I have been in Amsterdam a few times now, and let me tell you know how SUPER ANNOYING it is to have to climb super steep stairs to get to your room. Definitely not to be found here! Not the biggest room, but it enough room for a king bed, a computer desk, and two extra seats for relaxing. The bathroom was about what I would expect from an American-sized hotel bathroom, which means it's probably way bigger than European standards. So the hotel itself is nice, but the real reason I chose the Renaissance Amsterdam is because of its location. It is SO close to Amsterdam Centraal, like six minutes walking close. And anyone who's been to Amsterdam knows that Centraal controls EVERYTHING if you want to use public transportation. Lugging my suitcase to Centraal wasn't too bad when the walk was only six minutes. Other than that, because it is centrally located, you can pretty much walk anywhere and it's not too far. Also, the free breakfast was basically everything I had hoped for. It was a buffet that had all the ingredients for a full English breakfast! Had an omelet bar, meats and cheeses, even smoked salmon. No complaints from me on this one. Even though I stayed here for less than a day, I definitely felt like I made the most of this stay. I cannot WAIT to come back in October and stay here for a week. Going to be living large and I'm here for it!

Tokyo Milk products in the bathroom and shower, yay!

As much of a party as Amsterdam was, I don't have any quirky thought starters for this review, so I'll share what I remember and hope it helps... Observation: There is a disparity between Google and Yelp reviews. Conclusion: Y'all pickier! FYI - We were in a suite for almost a week including New Year's Eve, so rates were higher even with club discounts. I do recommend this spot for the location and the vibe. THE LOCATION (walking distance to): Central station Canal boat tour departure Red Light District Drug stores (but like, real drugs) Anne Frank House Heineken Experience de Bijenkorf (luxe shopping) Dam Square Van Gogh Museum Ice Bar & Museum of Torture (and other various tourist traps we fell for) THE VIBE: Artsyish lobby Friendly and helpful staff Tokyo Milk bath products Decent sized suite Vending machine with sparkling wine and beer Cute cafe/bar OPPORTUNITIES? Rooms could use a refresh. And 24 hour room service? - Um, notsomuch, like ordering was such a challenge via app or phone we used Doordash. IN SUMMARY: Vier sterren. Ja ik zou terugkeren.

Really nice hotel that is undergoing some serious renovations. It is very centrally located, close to centraal station but please bear in mind if you're coming from the train you will have to drag your luggage over cobblestone roads which makes the short trip from centraal station seem WAY longer than it actually is. Once you get to the hotel the service is FANTASTIC! If they see you outside dragging luggage and looking like you've been hit by a bus - hello transcontinental flights - the concierges (thank you DZ! Thank you for all of your help! )come out, scoop up you and your luggage, get you waters to drink and deposit you at the check in. Concierges (again, thank you DZ!) are super fabulous, check in is easy and quick and the lobby bar is literally only feet away (2 for 1 happy hour from 5-6pm every day!). Rooms are comfortable, beds are great but please understand that the renovations are ongoing. It never bothered us because they don't happen at all on the weekends and don't start until about 8am during the week, ending at 5? maybe 6 in the evening. We are NOT early risers but the renovations haven't bothered us at all because you don't come here to lie in bed anyway! If you have club access the buffet breakfast is really good and VERY substantial. Made to order omelettes and eggs, on the hot bar you have bacon, sausage, a veggie (some days cooked spinach, some days cooked mushrooms or baked beans), potatoes of some sort, small pancakes and tiny Liege waffles. There are platters of fresh veggies and fruit, cheeses, hams, smoked salmon, smoked mackerel and other meats (if you eat pork the ham is spectacular), cereals, yogurts and some chocolate looking thing. There are always fresh loaves of bread for slicing and toasting, fresh pastries and croissants. Please people, especially my US brothers and sisters, please for the love of GOD and all that is holy DO NOT GRAB THE WHOLE BREADS WITH YOUR BARE HANDS! The staff puts lovely napkins RIGHT THERE for you to use instead of your grubby hands! I see AMERICANS do this every damned day and I want to go up and just smack them a bit. Just because you do it at home does not make it ok to do in polite society. USE A FREAKING NAPKIN! It's literally RIGHT THERE! One of the coolest things I've seen here this trip is the fact that instead of little disposable cups to put jam in, they have what is actually an edible cup. Think ice cream cone type cup to put jam in. Cool and edible! Love, love LOVE the staff here, they're amazing and speak 20+ languages! Lars, Nidia, Winnie, Alina, Simona and all of the bar staff (I can't remember all their names!) are just wonderful as are the concierges. Amazing service!

Quite possibly the loudest hotel room I have ever stayed in & when I mentioned it to the front desk, they basically said that's too bad. People were having conversations and/or screaming under my window through the night. If you are on the first floor on the outer wall, refuse the room.

Pros: -great location for sight seeing; located in central Amsterdam, so you are walking distance to Anne Frank House, Central Station, shopping, restaurants -24 hour fitness center -comfortable bed -water bottles in room Cons: -standard rooms on the smaller side and no view -kitchen did not open until 8am despite menu saying 7am on Sundays; so no breakfast before heading to the airport -on the pricey side -could hear rowdy people in the hallways

A good stay that could have been great. Three nights end of March 2022. Was upgraded to a Club room due to Bonvoy status. Hotel room was available at 8am on day of arrival - a great bonus after a red eye flight. Location is excellent with most locations walkable within 45 minutes. Room was average size with zero view to speak of. Breakfast buffet was a great spread of food with egg station for custom orders. The lounge was finally open and we were able to use that for light evening appetizers and beer/wine/soft drinks. The concierge was very helpful and assisted with tours, etc. including how and where to get tested so we could return to the US. Why four stars? The housekeeping sucked. We were gone for 9 hours one day and they didn't show up until we complained. Took 3 days to get a non-Down pillow. On another day housekeeping was completely AWOL. There is a small cafe sort of attached to hotel - Kopelcafe. Food was nice but pricey. I just feel that there are so many better options in the city. All in all, I wouldn't mind staying here again if I'm in Amsterdam.

We enjoyed our stay before and after our cruise. It was under construction. The view from the windows were a bit obscured by the renovation. The room itself is very nice and the staff was very accommodating to our large party and many bags. We were able to store our bags when we arrived as the rooms were not all ready. On our departure they secured us a van to transport us to the airport.

Everyone I interacted with there was professional, helpful, and friendly. Unfortunately, the good service at the front desk didn't extend to the rest of the hotel. The bar and Lotti's restaurant were both consistently understaffed, and the service was extremely slow. Lotti's also seemed to be out of a lot of the main dishes, even though the menu is already pretty limited. As for the rooms, they were okay, but felt a little worn and could really use some updating. Nothing terrible, but for what the hotel charges, I think you should be able to expect a bit more comfort and quality. After checking out the W Hotel nearby, which was much nicer for a similar price, I couldn't help but feel disappointed. For nearly $4500 after taxes for three nights in two rooms at the Hoxton, I honestly felt a bit cheated. Again, the front desk team deserves credit, but overall, I think the Hoxton needs to step up its game to justify these rates.

I melted into it...and, yes, treats from local coffee shops definitely made that even more of a luxurious experience. The single room wasn't as claustrophobic as some reviews mention, but definitely would be cramped if two people were staying there (I was on my own). The room has a large bed, desk, and two bedside tables, and that's about it. There's a rather spacious closet (given the room size), and while the bathroom is lacking in counter space, there are drawers under the sink where you can store your toiletries. The location was perfect for being far enough away from Central Station/Red Light District but close enough for arrival/departure purposes. Situated on a canal adjacent to, if not actually in the Jordan area, super close to the Anne Frank house and walking distance to a handful of cafes, cocktail lounges, eateries, etc. Super easy to get buses/trams/walk to other neighborhoods as well and separated from the hustle and bustle so when you arrived back each night, you could leave the hectic nature of the day outside. While I didn't indulge in the dining/bar on site, it's absolutely stunning. An extremely welcoming, romantic vibe, complete with goth-y and velvet accents.

Since the cruise…read morecompany covered the cost of the stay, it's probably not a hotel we would have selected on our own given the rates. The hotel itself is quite unique, consisting of a collection of historic canal houses connected together along one of Amsterdam's beautiful canals. The property has a lot of character and charm that you won't find in a typical luxury hotel. Service throughout our stay was personable and attentive. The standout feature for me was the hotel's bar located toward the rear of the property. If you're a fan of Old Fashioneds, be sure to try their version--it was one of the highlights of our visit. One thing prospective guests should be aware of is the noise level. Due to the age and construction of the historic buildings, sound insulation is virtually nonexistent. We could easily hear noise from neighboring rooms and hallways, so light sleepers may want to bring earplugs or consider another option. Overall, the Pulitzer offers a distinctive Amsterdam experience with excellent service and a fantastic bar, but the lack of soundproofing may be a concern for some guests.

This is now the Clayton Hotel Amsterdam American (formerly the Hard Rock Hotel)…read more My brother stayed here during his visit, and while I didn't sleep over, I was there for check-in, spent time exploring the property, and enjoyed the bar and restaurant with him! The room was definitely on the compact/modern side--typical for European city hotels--but beautifully appointed and very sleek. On the smaller side though. The absolute standout feature was the private balcony. The view overlooking the lively square, historic architecture, and tree-lined streets of Leidseplein was great! The hotel itself is an absolute stunner. The blend of historic Art Deco charm and modern boutique touches is executed so well. From the grand staircase with red floral carpeting and stained glass to the dark, art-filled hallways, every corner feels photogenic. We grabbed drinks at the bar and restaurant area, and the ambiance here is elite. Magnificent vaulted arches, plush red and emerald velvet seating, warm brass accents, and massive stained-glass windows that let in incredible light. It's an amazing spot to sit back, unwind, and sip a cocktail. You can't beat Leidseplein--trams right outside, easy walking access to the museums, canals, and nightlife. Whether you're booking a room or just stopping by for a drink at the bar, it's well worth a visit!

This hotel has now been taken over by the Clayton chain. All the rock memorabilia seems to be gone…read more The place is probably more in tune with its sensational history, maybe there is a new Yelp! page for the Clayton American Hotel, but I couldn't find one.

As soon as my cab stopped in front, a man immediately came down the stairs to help me with my bag and escort me to the check in area. They asked if I wanted anything to drink and I said of course champagne! They gave me two! I checked in with Lisa who was amazing! She had me pick out a scent for my room. What? I didn't know that existed! Super fun! My room wasn't ready because I had booked late even though it was 3pm but I didn't mind waiting, especially when they gave me that 2nd glass of champagne. When I got my room, Lisa and Fae escorted me to the room to make sure I liked it and it was beautiful. I loved how the light came into the bathroom. On that note the bathtub was so nice I almost fell asleep in it! You receive welcome chocolates in the shape of Amsterdam shoes which were so cute and delicious! I ordered room service as the bar only served snacks and did not want to go to the restaurant by myself as it was really open. I got the Waldorf Astoria Burger which was amazing and so good! I'd go back to this hotel just for that burger itself. The next day I also had the breakfast and was able to get the whole tray of assortments and all the juices and coffee I wanted PLUS another dish! All complimentary with my Hilton Diamond status. I ordered the French toast and everything was delicious! Obviously I couldn't eat it all but was able to take some left to the room for later. I also had a spa appointment while here. Massage was great and the masseuse mentioned to see a physical therapist to help my lower back pain that I was complaining about as she said it was coming from my glutes, legs, knees. I've seen a couple of masseuses in the last two years in the states and one in Canada and NONE had ever even mentioned that that could help. I love this! Very professional staff. The spa also very serene with sauna, jacuzzi, and pool. They have a door to the garden which I'm assuming is beautiful in summer but I was here in February so it was freezing! When I checked out it was with Lisa again and she was great as usual and the guys helped me with my bags again when my uber came. They let me sit in the other room and said they'd let me know when it was here. Very nice. I did not want to leave. Haha!
