• Very comfortable beds.
• Breakfast was very expensive $37.

“Overall, great hotel. Though the breakfast was good, it was not worth 25 Euro. Save yourself some money and hit up a local cafe.”

• Free laundry facilities included soap.
• Hallways had an odor.

“This is one of the few hotels in Europe that offer two double bed , which suited our travel needs of a husband, wife and teenager traveling together. Easy access to all the main attractions, and transportation. I felt that internet access should have been included and the rate was excessive. Even the hostels offer free wireless access.”

• I liked the location next to VondelPark.
• The waitstaff at the small restaurant were a little over bearing.

“Helpful hotel staff. Everyone said hello, good morning or good evening. Nice rooms with a big bathroom for Europe.”

• I loved the location, it was perfect! The bus and the GVB, airport shuttle, and buses pick you up pretty much next to the hotel.
• The staff the night before heated up some food for us and when we asked them again they wouldn't do it.

“The hotel was great and would stay here again. It's a great and safe location. The beds were like sleeping on clouds, the bathroom was nice, the TV was great and the staff spoke English and were very nice as well.”

• Clean and comfortable.
• A bit far from the Train Station, but easily accessible by tram.

“The hotel is ideally located near tourist attractions. It is a bit far from the core area (i.e. Red Light, the Dam, etc) but the distance is compensated by the 3 tram lines that run right in front of the hotel.”

“Excellent choice for easy access to several Amsterdam attractions, Vondelpark right next door, Concertgebouw a block away, short walk to Museumplein and the Rijks Museum and Van Gogh museum as well as night life and restaurants. Canal and boat dock across the street.”

• Roomy bathroom, good shower.
• No coffee machines, and although there was one in the lobby it was only open in the morning and then it broke down and was closed.

“As usual the extra services were very expensive, e.g. breakfast, internet, parking, etc. The bed although it looked very inviting was not very comfortable. I t was a very cheap mattress with a down pad as an overlay. This overlay slid around on the bed and did not make the bed comfortable in the least. I was very disappointed in the bed and would avoid this hotel as a result.”

• Clean rooms, terrific location, excellent staff.
• No coffee maker in room, bathroom with no place to hang towels.

“While not a particularly attractive structure, the Amsterdam Marriott is perfectly located for tourists, within a few minutes walk of most major must-see sights. The rooms are spacious, tasteful, modern and clean. The public areas are not grand, but are efficient and welcoming. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful in advising on transportation and local restaurants. A solid choice.”

• Accommodating desk staff; spacious room; clean; well appointed bathroom.
• Quality of meal from room service poorly cooked.

“The Amsterdam Marriott was well located; adjacent to tram line, canal bus stop, shopping, Rijksmuseum, Vondelpark. The room was spacious and well maintained, had a reading chair, table and light as well as a desk. Bathroom was large with nice appointments. Room service was prompt, but the food was not well prepared. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to return.”

• Quiet room/great location with a great fluffy bed with fine quality 100% cotton sheets.
• The coffee in the lobby was terrible.

“This hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff was so friendly, professional, and efficient. The location of the hotel was ideal for walking for seeing all the sites and museums, and there were many nice restaurants and cafes close by. There was a trolley line and a canal line directly across the street. The hotel is not very attractive from the outside, but the rooms were extremely quiet and comfortable. The renovations were successful. The decor was very pleasant - the new bedding was superior! Our room was super quiet (even though the hotel was full for "Queen's Weekend") and the 100% cotton sheets and fluffy pillows and mattress cover made it a great place to sleep. The chocolates from the turn-down service were better than the usual Marriott chocolate! The hot water was super hot. The bathroom amenities were very nice. The concierge gave us great recommendations. We were very happy with the staff, decor, cleanliness, safety, location and price. We would definitely stay there again!”

• Great location and super comfy beds!
• Was not offered non-smoking room choice at check-in; luckily room wasn't too smoky smelling. Staff not terribly friendly.

“This hotel is well located near two major museums, lots of restaurants, various tram stops and to the leidseplein, a very active area of Amsterdam. The rooms were luxurious in feel and amenities. The water was hot and powerful. I felt safe in the immediate neighborhood. Upon check-in, the clerk asked only my Name, and then handed me keys. No discussion of whether smoking or non-smoking or bed configuration. Luckily, I was not picky about the bed or beds and the room did not smell of smoke enough to complain about. But, had it been a problem, my review would not be a good one and I would have been very unhappy that it was not even discussed initially.”

“Unfortunately I can't recommend this hotel because of the quality of the accommodations. The rooms are apparently about to be renovated which they sorely need. Air quality problems abound; do not recommend for people with allergies or asthma. Four stars it is not.”

• We got a huge bargain considering the price we paid compared with other tourist we met on the trip, it's close enough to walk to museums.
• No in room coffee maker, had to go to lobby for that early morning cup or call room service.

“Very helpful staff, changed money at the desk, gave directions and provided maps. Also stressed warnings about dangers of walking in the bike paths. Remembered our name after only one day. Smaller than most Marriott's, we liked our room overlooking the busy street, but if you want to sleep late ask for a room on the back of the building.”

• American style room. No twin beds pushed together for a king!
• They charge the usual 5% extra on all things bought or booked through this hotel. Nothing is said about this.

“Nice location, great staff, typical American Marriott with the same bedding, furniture, shampoo bottles and art you see in all the Marriott's in the US (Boring!)! Everything in the room is for sale with candy laying out and Pringles with the lids on the bottom and they charge you 5% on all other purchases. Great room for the price paid.”

• Convenience, cleanliness.
• Concierge and bellmen only use taxis that they have control over.

“I asked for a taxi to take me to the airport. They told me that they would call one for me. Two other groups were waiting ahead of me. Meanwhile, there was a taxi waiting outside that no one was using. They tried to prevent me from taking it, supposedly because it was not one from the company they have an "arrangement" with. I eventually went out to take it and they tried to persuade me not to take it. It was extremely unprofessional and inconvenient. It felt like I had to take a cab that only they had control over. Not acceptable!”

“Location is great. Rooms are very comfortable and well appointed if maybe a bit dated. The best surprise was the service. I did not have to ask for anything twice and when I did, help was at my door instantaneously (from small problem with plumbing, was moved to another room, to having my coat pressed). The hotel has an awesome, if a bit overpriced, breakfast and I also had a very good dinner there in the evening (surprised by the solid wine selection with reasonable prices). The personal service, the restaurant and the bar ( I did not try Pizza Hut, but I'd guess it's better then what you get in the States if that's your fare or if you are with kids) on the premises made my stay very comfortable considering I got to Amsterdam with a cold. So, thanks again to the Amsterdam Marriott staff! Everything in a walking distance or a short tram ride. Definitely recommended.”

• For a hotel in Europe, it was able to accommodate 3 people in one room.
• The concierge was not as knowledgeable as I would have expected.

“Amsterdam Marriott is located near Leidseplein, a city square bustling with restaurants and shops. It is a very short walk to the major museums. It is easily accessible by the tram. We were able to take the tram to Central Station and then take the train to Chisholm Airport. Beats paying for a cab or a car service. The hotel's rooms and common areas are typical of a Marriott in the US, and I really appreciated the fact that the three of us could stay in one hotel room. This is unusual in Europe. There were two double beds. This is truly a great hotel for families and business travelers. They also had a business center in the lobby which was great for checking flights, checking online, and emails although it was not cheap. Something like 7.50 euros for 15 minutes. It's probably cheaper to go to an internet cafe. The front desk staff was very polite.”
