Grand Hotel Amrath Amsterdam - Άμστερνταμ

Just returned from 3 weeks in Europe with the final 3 days at the Amrath. This charming hotel was the perfect finish to the holiday. The Amrath is well situated close to the Train Station - a short stroll actually. It's proximity to the must see areas are perfect - less than 10 minutes to the Red Light and a further 5 minutes to the main shopping street. But, far enough away to lose the noise and crowds. The facilities are befitting a 5 star as is the service. The staff and friendly and genuine. Always a smiling face when you came through the doors. For a fabulous meal you must go to "Looks". This upscale restaurant is just 5 minutes from the hotel across one bridge. Ask at the front desk for directions. They can also book a reservation for you. The meal was the best we had in Europe. The owner, Alco, is simply charming. It is very comfortable and welcomes even the casually dressed. The Amrath is the only hotel I would stay at in Amsterdam!

We stayed two nights in mid-October. This place is amazing in every respect. Proximity to Central Station makes arrival and departure a breeze. The beds are remarkably comfortable, a common theme I notice in previous reviews. The inclusive mini bar was extremely welcome. The Nespresso machine in the room sold me on the concept .. I now own the same machine at home. The city view we were lucky enough to be allocated is pretty by day or night. My favourite hotel ever.

Free minibar, comfortable sleeping and great location.

Asked for assistance in planning our day almost everyday and were always pleased with the info we received. Room was large and comfortable with a great view. Everything was cleaned and restocked promptly each day. The free mini bar was amazing and thoroughly used. The bed was downright hard to get out of in the mornings because it was so comfortable. Favorite hotel ever in my favorite city ever!

We stayed two nights at this hotel and it was awesome! The rooms were very very clean and the bathroom was huge! I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel to anyone going to Amsterdam!!!

This hotel should be a 4 star not a 5 star.

This hotel is 2 blocks from the red light district. The restaraunts in that area are wonderful. The rooms are beautiful and large. The service was good, the pool and spa area are beautiful. The food in the bar was excellent. I would recommend this hotel if you want to be close to the red light district, which is a fun place to walk thru especially at night :-)

This hotel is amazing. It was really really nice. The location was perfect- walking distance to just about everything, including the train station, which also goes to the airport. The bed was the most comfortable bed I ever slept on.

If you like to stay in historic hotels with unique looks, the Amrath is for you! A superior stay in every way. Outstanding service.

Never having been to Europe, we expected small rooms and broken English. We were got were large rooms, free wi-fi, free mini-bar, fluent English, updated decor and an overall great experience. We stayed 4 nights. We didn't eat in the hotel restaurant or bar thinking they were pricey, but the places we did eat were just as high priced. Location was very good also. The only drawback was no top sheet on bed - only bottom sheet and heavy comforter. I guess that's a European thing.

First trip to the Dam and decided to spend a couple of nites at this location before we moved out away from everything. The beds are absolutely addicting, and I found myself having to awake the wife each morning (this NEVER happens). The Mini-Bar was always stocked, the room clean, the location was GREAT for getting around Central City. We will definitely use this hotel for future trips.

We stayed at this hotel from 20/6 until 22/6/09 and with the exception of the bed not being changed prior to our arrival (sheets were dirty) we could not fault a thing (this may also be due to the fact that they allowed us to check in at 9.40am, so may have been our fault ultimately!!). The staff could not do enough for you and really went that extra mile. The room was spacious, well decorated and had an awful lot of special touches. We have never stayed in a hotel that has been so quiet, you couldnt hear people in other rooms, or showers & baths running, it was like your own personal sanctuary. We would definetly go back to this hotel as it really made our weekend feel special.

We stayed in a superior deluxe room with a canal-side view. It was pricier than the others, but worth great view of the sunset every night. The room was roomy and comfortable. The bathroom was large with a double sink and plenty of room to put our stuff on the counter. The free mini-bar was well used and the bed was comfortable - a great combination of firm and soft. The location was also great - a 10 minute walk from Central Station and walking distance to many, many restaurants, not to mention the unique experience of the red light district. A few minutes from this hotel it is easy to catch a canal boat that will take you to sites like the Anne Frank House or the Van Gogh museum. You can easily walk to the sites, too, because this hotel is centrally located. One word of warning - the city tax. Hotels.com makes it clear on its website that the hotel charges a city tax (about $15 USD) per night, but I missed it when I first made the reservation and was surprised to have to pay anything more when I checked out.

We have stayed in other five star properties in Amsterdam in the past -- the Amrath is far superior to any other hotel we have stayed in. The rooms are large, well appointed, and have a lot of amenities lacking in other properties. Not to mention how beautiful the hotel is - it was like staying in a museum or a castle with great plumbing! We will be back.

Excellent location, unusual design. Staff generaly helpfull and pleasant. Could have been a great stay, however on one day the room wasn't cleaned when I returned at 16.00 after being out since 07.30. The subsequent fiasco meant I was disturbed twice when trying to take a nap before dinner. Then the room wasn't cleaned as promised. I was allocated a room in a rather noisy part of the hotel (rm 111), that combined with cleaners knocking on the door meant I didn't really get a peacefull rest. I left a day early despie having paid in advance. 25 Euro for breakfast is a little steep if you are a light eater. Free mini bar is a nice touch. If I stayed again, I would be sure to get a better (larger more quite) room.

I must admit that I normaly do not stay at hotels with a cost this high but Amsterdam is not cheap to stay at. However this hotel was outstanding the staff was very attentive, courteous and very helpful. The room was great, high ceilings with remote blackout drapes and well appointed with upscale furnishings. The mini bar was even free. A short walk through a wonderful neighborhood brings you to the train station with convient public transportation to all the sights. The wellness center with its indoor pool, saunas and steam rooms was perfect after a long day. The bedding was a dream. If I could find fault with anything, the free wifi was a bit off and on. I loved my stay there.

This hotel has many things going for it. It's a great location, near Central Station and nicely located to downtown. Easy access but little noise. The rooms are very nice and comfortable and the staff is friendly. They have a good wellness facility also.

Not much else I can say. It was a clean hotel, and the rooms were very comfortable. Great beds, blackout curtains, as well as free wifi and mini bar. The location could be slightly better, but Amsterdam is such a small city, you're never to far away. In some respects, the places near the heart of the city can get loud, so this is a nice alternative. Walking distance to several nice cafes and restaurants. You can also rent bikes and scooters from the hotel. All in all, it was great and I highly recommend it.

Great location and a really cool hotel. Hotel staff was warm and very helpful/ I would stay there again in a second.

This hotel is very nice and within walking distance of many Amsterdam attractions. It is a short walk from Central Station, which along with the train from the airport serves as the staging ground for most if not all the subway, tram, and bus lines. Within walking distance of the main drag and the Red Light District. When I first saw the location on the map I was worried we'd be isolated on an island, but that was far from the case. Our bellhop was great and even recommended to us to clean out the minibar each day as it gets restocked daily free of charge. Choice of coke, diet, orange juice, tonic, beer, wine, scotch, gin, vodka, cognac, and rum. You only pay if you call room service for something. Pool is lovely as it feels like you're swimming under stars. There are restaurants near by that are in the iAMsterdam book. Two words of warning: 1)We got lost trying to find the hotel. My guess is there is a similarly named hotel because two different people sent us in the wrong direction. (Our impression of the Dutch is that they wouldn't do that on purpose.) Once we hailed a cab (who's driver was very nice) we had no further problems finding our way back to the hotel. The cab driver even commented, "Oh, the hotel with the free minibar." 2) The each room's electrical circuitry has a master control that turns on when you put your room key in a slot by the door. This is great for remembering where your room key is, but if you want to charge anything while you are out of the room, stick a library card or something in the holder so you don't kill the room's electricity. When I go back to Amsterdam, I will stay here again. I did a lot of research for hotels the this time and see no reason to do that work again.

Amazing hotel, especially given the price. Architecture, location, comfort, service...the works.

This hotel was very nice.Very close to the Central Station and our barge was just across the street.Easy walking to everything.Very good beds and bathrooms were excellent.It looks kinda spooky but is very nice with a great spa and sauna area.

Fantastic room, great bed, pillows and linens, fabulous bathroom! The hotel decor is spectacular and a feast on the eyes. The old elevator is fun. We never ate in the restaurant but our room service food was YUM! My husband and I were thrilled with the the Amrath and we will absolutley stay here again during our next trip to Amstersdam!

The promises of first class bathrooms and soft, fluffy beds were delivered. Great location (just off the main traffic corridor). Helpfull, friendly staff (except the bartender in the pub) and the mini-bar was a HUGE plus. Overall, the building conversion was very well done, room was large and comfortable, but mixed results in the minor touches (I never figured out how to turn off the lights without turning off the master switch). Although slightly "pricy" I felt it was worth the money and would stay there, again.

Got a very good deal through this website and had a fantastic stay. Gorgeous hotel, really unusual building in disctinctive Art Nouveau style, really convenient to train station. Lovely rooms - go for the city view as it's worth it looking out on the canal. Even our standard room had lovely high ceilings and a really nice bathroom, with very comfortable bed and millions of pillows. A bit of a walk to many of the main shopping streets (10-15 mins) but across canals and picturesque small streets. Endless clean towels (twice a day), lovely pool (a bit small but had an area where there was a current flowing against you if you wanted to swim a distance), jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, showers - these were all open 7am to very late and never felt crowded. Good value and quality bar food. We didn't have breakfast there, but lots of places nearby - the tourist office opposite the train station has a cafe on the bank of the canal and serves breakfast. I would highly recommend this hotel on all fronts.

The room was spacious, as was the bathroom - all in excellent condition. Location was great, close to train. Only real complaint is with the restaurant. While the food quality and presentation was very good, the service was below standard. It seemed like the staff were all in training.

We have stayed in a number of Amsterdam hotels and our stay at the Amrath was one of our more enjoyable stays. The staff was friendly, courteous and understood customer service. The building has been refurbished to a high standard and is in a convenient location - away from the bustling crowds but just a short walk to the center and to Centraal Station. We'd recommend this hotel to anyone who wished to experience incredible architecture and fine service.

Was impressed with the Amrath. I wouldn't say its at the upper scale of five star hotels in general but it's fine for a few days stay and if you are getting a good rate I would say go for it. The location is great, really near to Centraal Station and Amsterdam is really easy to get around on foot - you can generally walk to most of the tourist spots.

The hotel was easy to find, and very conviently located near the train station. Although it was about a 10-15 min walk to the shopping districts, it was near enough to the sights to not be a huge distraction and quiet enough to keep street noise out. The spa was wonderful and a great place to relax after walking arround all day. THe only disappointment was the tour groups recommended from the hotel desk, really pushed the diamond sales, and not as focused on the culture/history of Amsterdam.

The Grand Amrath Amsterdam is a very comfortable and convenient hotel, set in an interesting if slightly quirky building. Given the good location, friendly service, VERY comfortable beds, and low price, it was just what we needed for our stay. The lack of a big, ornate lobby entrance did not bother me, and the wellness center with pool, sauna/steam and jacuzzi more than made up for it. I was quite satisfied with the overall experience.

Very nice hotel ... Pretty quick walk to everything...I recommend this place

On arrival to The Amrath our every need was catered for, the staff could not have been more helpful, Our room was extremely comfortable and every time we left our room it appeared that someone had been in to refresh it, what a service. The Leisure facilities were equally luxurious with an abbundance of robes, slippers and towels. All in all I would definitley return to the Amrath again.

This was one of the best hotels I ever stayed in. The rooms were really sensational with every possible comfort considered. The service was sensational! It's just a short walk to the downtown core of Amsterdam and the train station. The hotel has done a great job of holding on to its history while offering the conveniences of modern day. The even have an old old (scary) elevator that you can take a tour on. I only ate a quick lunch there so I can't say much about the food (though, the quick lunch was good). I really can't say enough of this hotel. They've done a great job. While the spa is decked out with all the spa toys one could imagine (3 different saunas, a whirlpool, jacuzzi and pool), I found it a bit difficult to relax, but that could have just been me.

We spent four nights in February wandering around the sights and attractions of Amsterdam. The hotel is a really impressive and intriguing building. The beds were so comfortable and bathroom very spacious. We had dinner in the restaurant on our last night. This is something we would definitely recommend. The chef's menu was wonderful and the waiter explained every course in detail as it was served. If we were to return to Amsterdam the Grand Hotel Amrath would be our first choice.

This hotel was one of the most enjoyable and deserving of its 5 star title I have ever stayed in. Its location is only 400metres from Central Station, to the left as you leave the station. I will only ever stay in this hotel from now on when I visit Amsterdam. The Spa and Leisure centre are excellent and so was the food served for dinner at night. I would not rate the prices as being very dear, considering its 5 star rating. We paid about €120 for dinner including a bottle of wine, no desserts as too full at that stage:-). The staff are very friendly and willa nswer any questions. The only drawback was that I could not figure out how to stop the Electric curatins from automatically opening every morning at 8am!!

Lovely hotel and staff very friendly and obliging. Got upgraded on arrival. Great location - quiet area but at same time only 10 minute walk from city centre. Be sure to ask for room facing onto canal rather than busy road.

WE REALLY ENJOYED OUR HOTEL STAY, tHE ROOM WAS SPACIOUS AND CLEAN . sTAFF WERE VERY HELPFUL AND SPOKE VERY GOOD ENGLISH, FREE MINI BAR WAS A LOVELY TOUCH, BAR GRILL ROOM WAS GOOD, we liked the convenience to everything especially the train station link to the airport. It would have been nice if a light continental breakfast was included in the price, We would return to this hotel.

Our superior room with canal view was simply spectacular. High ceilings overlooking the canals, incredible bed (a real king, not two twins pushed together), a huge bathroom with 2 sinks, tons of space. The pool is great. The gym is quite limited in its equipment, but good for a quick cardio workout. The hotel is a renovated historic building, so the architecture is quite unique. Location is on the edge of central Amsterdam. Still easy walking distance, but not right smack in the middle.

Incredible value for the money. Beautiful room, great bed. Everything was amazing. Contents of the minibar were free each day.

Great Hotel, with awesome architecture and a great staff. The room service was a little weird but over all I had a great stay. Also its near the red light district and a lot of smoke shops.

We went for a short trip as it was my wifes birthday,we could not believe how handy this hotel was located from central station and tram stops. The hotel facilities was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful, the complementary mini bar has to be seen to be believed first class. Around the corner in towards the red light area is a restaurant called warm, all home made food well worth a visit
