Birthday surprise
Gina F.

We came to Amsterdam for a couple days to celebrate my husband's birthday and stayed for 2 nights at the Hoxton. We came from a buzzy 5 star hotel in London and this truly blew it out of the water. We appreciated the sweet birthday surprise, friendly service and beautiful room on the canal. And you cant beat having flexible check in/check out. Great location, beautiful rooms and amazing service!

Disgusting headboards in the Hoxton Hotel Amsterdam

Good central location. Rooms are a bit worn, for example the headboards on the beds in at least 3 of our rooms have oil stains from all of the heads that have leaned against them, which is really gross. We are a reasonably good breakfast two days in the lobby restaurant and on the third morning strolled a few blocks for a croissant and coffee. We tried to eat this in a quiet, empty lobby seating area but were told we couldn't eat food from outside there.

Hoxton at night from across the canal

I stayed at the Hoxton for 8 nights in early April. It was fabulous. The staff was knowledgeable, available, and helpful. I went with a friend, and both of our rooms overlooked the gorgeous canal and were beautiful and well-appointed. The bed was perfect - very comfortable. We used their bikes without a hitch (sign up early), we enjoyed the lovely, friendly bar, and we walked around the local shopping areas directly from the hotel. I will stay there every time I go to Amsterdam... and I already can't wait for my next stay! Thank you!!!!

Great brunch menu. The Avo toast and hamburger were great options. Came back later in the night during the week for a relaxing night cap

Very cool hotel in the heart of Amsterdam. It's located on the most expensive canal in the city. It's got a great bar and restaurant next to the front desk. The WiFi is great. It's extremely fast and reliable. All you have to do is sign up with your email and anyone can have access to their great WiFi. The rooms are nice, but small by American standards. It's got a great modern vintage going on I'd say. We were on the fourth floor and even with air conditioning it got warm at night even after we turned the ac as low as it could go. They have these paper bags you fill out the night before and in the morning at the time stated by you you'll have a yogurt, banana for quick breakfast. To have access to the hotel you'll need your room key to get access to the elevators and for your room. You put your key in a slot and your lights come on. The from office staff knowledgeable and friendly. They were were extremely busy and efficient. I wish I could say the same for the restaurant staff. We sat outside by the canals at a table and we didn't see a waitress for over ten minutes, which was extremely disappointing so we left. Overall, great place to stay. I would definitely come back.

Amsterdam is getting hotter and hotter! And with new hang-outs like the Hoxton Hotel, cities like Copenhagen and Paris beter watch out! We have INK and the W Hotel new on the map. But Hoxton was news for me, and I had to see it for myself. No regrets. And even the kids loved the late breakfast/early lunch. The fruit platter was devine, and my poched eggs on Avocado and toast, to die for! But even better, the location is a great spot for a family 'chill' moment. Kids are welcome, and the parents can enjoy the free wifi :-)

Incredible location right on a canal! From the moment we arrived to when we left, the service was great. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The woman who checked us in was great with recommendations and helped us overlook the map of the city. We were able to walk most places; be prepared to walk A LOT. Free water, milk, coffee and Cadbury chocolates (my fave). The decor is trendy and cozy, rooms were very clean and comfy. Bar and restaurant downstairs. I didn't eat any food but the cocktails were delicious and made by a mixologist. I will definitely stay again if I'm ever in the area.

Wonderful hotel and highly recommended place to stay in central Amsterdam. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our room was much larger than expected (Roomy room) and had a view of the Singel canal from the third floor. Free breakfast is conveniently placed at your door on any/all mornings you choose (consists of orange juice, yogurt with granola, and a banana - a perfect to start to your day). The hotel itself is modern and beautiful. The cocktails at the bar are delicious as isthe food from Lotti's. Overall a great stay!

Hard Rock Hotel Amsterdam American - 4:20 in the Cafe

Hard Rock Hotel Amsterdam American

Centrum

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. At any rate, my experience was great. Tasteful and elegant deco atmosphere. People singing in the street at 2:00 am, but that's Leidesplein. Chalk it up as part of the experience.

A few decades ago I stayed in The American Hotel and was enthralled by the architecture both inside…read moreand out. It hadn't changed since Mata Hari (First World War female spy) had stayed there. 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

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!

What a phenomenal stay, I won't stay anywhere else in the City after my recent visit…read more The staff was exceptional and so very kind, the room loft room was charming and had a beautiful canal view. The bathroom was very spacious and the body products were a delight. We received a replica of the canal house we stayed in, they have six different house to stay on property. This was such a nice touch. Simply WOW

Liked the interior decor/design and focus on eco-friendly sustainable practices as well. The staff are super friendly and helpful - they provided a map and made lots of great recommendations regarding restaurants and things to see. The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious - has A/C. There is a safe available in the room as well, though there was no fridge. Loved all the snacks they provided, from the gummy bears in the room, to pastries and coffee in the communal area downstairs. They also provided a snack goodie bag on checkout though I forgot to pick mine up when I went back to pick up my stored luggage at the end of the day.

She made our trip so much better by being so helpful and telling us all about the transit and giving us lists of restaurants, events etc. She was super sweet and has incredible customer service skills! Definitely recommend this hotel.

You Get What You Pay For…read more I bartended for Hard Rock Cafe for 12 years. I love rock and roll, so when I saw this hotel it definitely jumped out at me. I will list the positives first since there are not that many: 1. The dayshift employee (cannot remember his name) was a very nice man. He recommended great vegan restaurants and was super cool. We actually ate at his recommendations for the remainder of our stay. He booked our taxi for us the night before our departure and was very hospitable. 2. The hotel lobby is set up like a bar/lounge with a pool table and it's cozy. 3. I liked the use of musical instruments such as a drum stool for a chair in the room and the drum light fixtures in the room. It adds to the theme of the hotel. 4. It was walking distance to a lot of cool places. Negatives: 1. Amsterdam is an old city with cute old buildings. I get it. We stayed at another hotel which was also an old building (and had a very slow elevator; but still had an elevator). This hotel had nearly 90-degree stairs to carry 50 lb. luggage up four flights of stairs (we called them ladders). I could not imagine anyone with a disability or elderly ever staying there for their safety. Literally, the stairs were about 4 inches wide. I slipped on them. sober. 2. The clients mostly consisted of younger hipsters that we could hear stumbling in at night after drinks and the walls are paper thin. We even heard someone fart in the next room. 3. To drown out the noise of the other clients, my partner and I used a rain app on our smartphone so that we could get some sleep (let me add that it was currently pouring outside). We get a loud knock on our door, waking us at two o'clock in the morning by the nightshift employee, telling us to turn the rain sound down. This woke us up and we were literally trying to book a room at two o'clock in the morning at a different hotel due to his unprofessionalism. It's like, how about telling the clients that are actually making the noise to be more quiet? If you are a young and do not mind the paper-thin walls and the ladder stairs, the disgruntled night shift employee that patrols the halls for noise, and have minimal luggage, then I would recommend this place for the location. Otherwise, stay somewhere else.

Perfect location, extremely friendly people, great vibe--my family loved this hotel and will stay…read moreagain.
