• Location and neighborhoods were super.
• Rooms were a little dated.

“Rooms were a little small but hotel generally was great and location was super, if you don't want to be in the noise and turmoil of the Central District. But still close and convenient to public transportation.”

• Too far from the real Amsterdam. Could not walk anywhere.

“Great staff, spoke perfect English, knew places that we would like. The rooms are nice and quiet. Internet access is very expensive and there is no wireless.”

• Nice hotel, convenient location to Museumplein, beautiful canal views, quiet location.
• Cafe services was slow.

“We liked this hotel and would stay again. We liked the location - near Museumplein, on a canal, but because it is in a residential area it was serene. Overall service was excellent. Private car to Schiphol airport was 35 Euros, which seemed reasonable.”

• Good Shampoo and lotion.
• Staff entered room several times to check and stock minibar even while we were sleeping.

“The hotel was pretty average. Maybe a little above average for Amsterdam, but average by US standards. We were disturbed by the staff multiple times during our 1 night stay. Is it really THAT important to check the minibar (especially before 10am)?! The location was not great as it was a pretty good hike to anything. It was pretty close to a tram stop (a block or two away as I recall). The room was clean. I would not spend the money to stay here again.”

• Had a nice junior suite, large room with lots of drawer space.
• The food prices were way too expensive 9.00 USD for a glass of club soda and 27.00 USD for continental breakfast way too much!

“Nice hotel in a quiet area of Amsterdam. Rooms are nice and large. They have a very friendly staff.”

Cleanliness:[10] • Staff:[8] • Location:[3]

• Nice bar and outdoors areas.
• Small bathroom and horrible location.

“This is a standard Hilton hotel with all facilities. It's supposedly a five star hotel even though I can't tell what gives them the star extra. The location is not good as you have to walk 20-30 minutes to the lively restaurant area of Amsterdam (Leidseplein) and then further 20 minutes to the central station. If you're in Amsterdam for a weekend and want to see the city I'd rather stay at another hotel, but if you want privacy and a nice garden this is a good choice.”

• Quiet and safe neighborhood. Ten minute walk to great food and shopping.
• The restaurant, bar, and coffee shop are all a bit pricy.

“Great hotel when the weather is good for walking. As the cold sets in, you have to be prepared. To bundle up and fight the wind. Elements to get to restaurants, stores, etc. by foot or to reach a public transportation stop. Our room had a great view of the canal and beautiful homes across the way. Comfortable beds, hard to get out of them in the morning.”

Cleanliness:[9] • Staff:[10] • Location:[6]

• The accommodating staff, particularly the concierge services.
• It's within walking distance to the museums but for everything else a taxi or trolley was required.

“Many hotels offer free "extras" in all rooms such as high speed internet access, etc. Hilton does not. They have a charge for everything, including changing dollars to euros (at a bad exchange rate to begin with). However, the front desk and concierge personnel were friendly and cooperative -- they couldn't have been better. Our room was on the first floor in front, with no view of the picturesque canal, and no matter how we adjusted the thermostat it was too warm. No upgrades were available even though we were both members of the Hilton Honors program. In contrast, we had stayed at the Athens Hilton a week earlier, booking the room with Hilton Honors Points, and our room was modern, comfortable and upgraded to a high floor overlooking the Acropolis. ”

• The location is out of the city center.

“The hotel is very comfortable and the staff is attentive and welcoming, but the location is just not well suited for a leisure traveler. It is a great hotel for the business traveler.”

• Clean, nice rooms.
• Unfriendly, incompetent staff.

“They wanted a credit card upon check in for incidentals, of course. There was some problem with their system and they went through three of my cards before it finally worked. Well, obviously it was their system and by the time they were done, they had put holds in excess of $1500 USD on my cards. I found this out because everywhere I went in Amsterdam my cards were being declined.”

• Superb location, wonderful and helpful staff, great gymnasium.
• Gymnasium cost was an additional 15 to 20 Euros per day.

“The Amsterdam Hilton is located in one of Amsterdam's nicest neighborhoods. The rooms were Euro chic, highly functional and sleek without feeling fancy. The staff was superb, especially in the dining room. The gymnasium was awesome, except for the high daily fee. I would stay here again.”

• A few miles from downtown tourist area

“good hotel - modern and clean - nice neighborhood but a distance from sights. it would not be considered a 5* hotel in the US -a business man's and tour group hotel- but itwas quiet and comfortable. for the money, the Marriott is a better deal and should be the same * rating and is walking distance to sights.”

“The hotel and its location far exceeded our expectations. The room was very attractive and had a splendid view of the city. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and helped us become acquainted with the city. We love to return sometime in the near future.”

• First class. good location, 5 stras
• EVERYTHING was extra cost

“A real 5 star hotel, clearly great for American businessmen, but you probably can't afford the XTRAS and everything is extra - unless you are on an expense account. But good location and no need to buy the extras at the hotel, go out on the town.”

• The hotel was a nice place to relax after a long day of sightseeing
• The hotel was not close to the action, although not far by tram

“The hotel was in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. Again, it was not close to the action but was about a 12 minute tram ride. The staff is very friendly and their knowledge of the English language was very good. We had a very nice room overlooking the canal. We left a pair of trousers there and the housekeeping staff found them with ease and is returning them to us.”

• The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Went out of their way to be helpful.
• The mini bar and breakfast buffet was too expensive. We were allowed to order off the menu and that problem was solved. We just don't like buffets.

“Located in a quiet neighborhood, you could not hear a sound at night. The staff was wonderful. Even though it was far from town, we walked a block and caught the tram so it wasn't a problem. We felt very safe in this hotel. I didn't even use the safe. I knew my belongings were perfectly safe and they were.”

• Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean, but smaller than other Hilton rooms in the US.
• The location could have been better. A little further out from the city than we would have liked, but only a couple blocks from the transit line.

“We are definitely going back to Amsterdam! However next time, I think we are going to try getting a hotel a little closer to the center of the city. ”

• We liked everything about the hotel! It was perfect for our needs and the price was right!
• There was nothing that we disliked.

“From the moment we walked into the Hilton Amsterdam, we felt like we were getting the royal treatment! Everyone from the reception desk staff, bellmen, concierge, and housekeeping were friendly and very willing to help in any way they could. The location was perfect. It is in a very lovely section of Amsterdam with a small park across the street and beautiful homes nearby. Plus there was a wealth of shopping opportunities nearby. We were able to walk to all the places we wanted to see in the city--a big plus for us as we enjoy walking. Our room was extremely clean and I especially liked that rather than having a bedspread that wasn't cleaned very often, there was a comforter with a duvet cover that was washed often. The tub in the bathroom was superb--it was very long and deep--perfect for a relaxing bubble bath in the evening after a day of walking and sightseeing. This was definately a 5 star hotel!”
