- “- staff were extremely kind and helpful, allowed me to check in really early morning after an overseas night flight (in fact the gal that checked me in, left the front desk, literally ran up to my assigned room to check to make sure it had been cleaned and then ran back down before giving me my keys - I have NEVER had such an attentive person checking me in, she was a gem)” 1

- “All of the food is gorgeously presented. The standout is the sushi platter - huge and deliciously fresh.” 29
- “okay guys this is my dinner it's the burger look at this no fries no nothing and it cost me €20 for this burger anyhow I brought myself some chips so I'm going to have it with my chips” On camera135:28
- “We opted for the restaurant every day simply for ease and speediness. We found the best play was to head down early for breakfast as the restaurant became a bit of a zoo after 9:30 am.” 3
Room53 mentions · 4 filmed
- “The hotel is fine, although the room is not very spacious, and the wardrobe is almost nonexistent.” 5
- “Room: queen room is decent size and we chose the courtyard for quiet.” 21
- “I found the room to be clean and comfortable, with a decor that was unmistakably minimalist European - and that was a good thing.” 17
- “Beautiful hotel, room and skyline. The worst thing was the too long wait time for checking us in.” 11
- “Was upgraded to a suite as well. South-facing ones are quiet and bright in Spring.” 27
- “A nice feature of the room was the iMac which in addition to providing internet access served as the room's television.” 10
- “the corner suite was nice . great location to the center” 22
- “We loved it, there is a terrace on the 11th floor from which you can see all of amsterdam.” 11
- “Wifi was poor in our room - I had to stand by the room door for reception but the Applemac worked perfectly fine.” 21
- “Housekeeping was consistent, and the room was kept spotless throughout our stay.” 19
- “The 553 rooms at the Doubletree are spacious and modern, with white walls and plush white cotton bedding -- dashes of color come from the artwork and furniture.” 31
- “There was plenty of natural light due to the floor to ceiling window although a fair warning: those are 100% transparent from the exterior thus if the curtains are open you have no privacy, specially if the sun is illumating the facade.” 2
- “The room itself was modern and comfortable, with everything you'd expect from a Hilton property - a plush bed (and very comfortable), good quality linens, and a well-equipped bathroom.” 19
- “Varied breakfast and correct room, but with a tiny and uncomfortable wardrobe: good soundproofing, but it's better to make sure it's located on the side of the main entrance” 11
- “The city view is another great feature of the room.” 20
- “Now, for being a hilton, in my opinion, it lacked a bit more cleanliness, i found the same stains on the table and the same crumbs on the floor as the day before and the extra bed made a u shape, imagine.” 5
- “guys this is our room this is our sitting area they have upgraded us to a suite so decent size room and there's a corner room” On camera132:23
- “The room was huge, quiet, & the bathroom was really nice.” 21
- “The room is nice and modern, although a bit small and the wardrobe is almost non-existent, but there are various drawers to accommodate you if you are not staying many days.” 5
- “We had specifically chosen a room overlooking the IJ River, and it was worth the upgrade. Watching the city lights reflect on the water at night was a real highlight of the stay, and during the day we could see ferries, boats, and the buzz of life on the waterfront.” 19
- “The room was large (for European standards) and quiet.” 26
- “okay we are going to walk right in this door here and this room has its own living room and wow look at that view awesome” 7
- “A desk provided sufficient though not overly generous work space.” 10
- “Beautiful hotel, room and skyline.” 5
- “When entering the room, the bathroom was immediately on the right, with the bedroom area ahead and round to the right. While the room wasn't too big, it was large enough for what we needed.” 25
- “At first glance, our room was a little smaller than expected when compared to the pictures online when we had booked.” 19
- “Our thoughts on the room were that while it was basic, it did the job. When it comes to a boy's trip to Europe, all we need is somewhere clean and safe where we can crash at the end of the night. The room served that purpose perfectly.” 3
- “The aircondition worked very well - especially on the dat I checked in, outside was 30+ deg but the system managed to keep the room cool.” 2
- “4 days Adults 4 We loved it, there is a terrace on the 11th floor from which you can see all of amsterdam. We loved it, there is a terrace on the 11th floor from which you can see all of amsterdam. Very, very happy, we would return without hesitation.” 11

- “yeah so this is what we're looking at for a one-bedroom Suite here at the Double Tree and Amsterdam Central we are in love with this room so far” On camera76:12
- “The room was small, think NYC style where all is well setup but the end result is a tiny room with not enough space to have an open suitcase lying around.” 2
- “A 553-room modern-feel hotel located immediately adjacent to the Central Station and within just minutes of a large chunk of all that is gay in Amsterdam, this Hilton-brand DoubleTree takes up an imposing and vast space - on the site of the old main post office - on island-like Oosterdok, with sexy, expansive and unobscured views of the city.” 15
- “Our king room had enough space for my husband and I to open suitcases and not trip over each other.” 29
- “The room is also very comfortable, as i requested it on the inner side. Do not request it on the side where the train tracks are.” 5
- “One of the very best things about this room upgrade was its wonderful view of Amsterdam.” 17
- “The room is also very comfortable, as i requested it on the inner side.” 5
- “Overall, we were happy with our room. The bed was very comfortable, it was nice having a view of the river and appreciated having water and a mini fridge in the room.” 25
- “Wi-Fi in the room and throughout the hotel was speedy and we encountered no access issues during our stay.” 10
- “The iMac monitor doubled up as the room's TV, so it was probably the smallest hotel TV we've ever had.” 25
- “I am a Hilton Honors Diamond member so we received a complimentary upgrade to a suite on the 10th floor with a stunning view of the city.” 21
- “they actually signed the the table for you but the table they gave us was like not the greatest we want to stay by the window” On camera65:58
- “Property-wise, this hotel at first seemed somewhat cold and dated [architecturally], but that initial impression was overcome by the modern flare of the European decor and the liveliness of the hotel.” 17
- “While the room wasn't too big, it was large enough for what we needed.” 25
- “all right guys this is my hotel lobby and it has a beautiful Christmas tree over here this where the restaurant is there's another entance have a consts over here front desk” On camera131:14
- “The desk was particularly small.” 2
- “heck im going again in september for part of my honeymoon stay . the corner suite was nice .” 22
- “Our room was 520 which was a junior Queen suite. The room itself was beautiful and was everything we were expecting and more.” 21
- “heck im going again in september for part of my honeymoon stay . the corner suite was nice . great location to the center” 22
- “My suite's north-facing aspect, and the horrendous winter weather in Amsterdam at the time, meant the room was relatively dark throughout the day: the dark green ceiling and furniture didn't help, although I admit it might be a different story during the summer months!” 27
- “The room (standard queen room) is small, and the lighting is awful. It's quite dark, even when all the lights are turned on.” 2
- “The room was spacious (for Amsterdam standard) with a modern industrial twist design which to me was to my taste.” 2
- “The king bed was on the right of the room and was very comfortable, as were the pillows.” 25
Noise17 mentions
- “We didn't hear a thing in our room (8th Floor)- that includes both indoor and outdoor noise. If you like quiet rooms then you'll like the DT Centraal.” 22
- “On the morning of the 28th March, we were awoken prematurely by what can only be described as a carnival happening on the ground level outside the hotel and directly below our room. As you can appreciate, when on holiday one tends to sleep in late but this wasn't an option due to the sheer noise outside.” 21
- “Unfortunately it was noisy from the passageways above us that connect across the hotel. You can also hear the hallways and the front doors slamming closed.” 21
- “They were a cover band, but were very good quality. It also wasn't deafening in there, so we were still able to chat without having to shout loudly which was nice.” 25
- “Varied breakfast and correct room, but with a tiny and uncomfortable wardrobe: good soundproofing, but it's better to make sure it's located on the side of the main entrance, as those on the opposite side, according to widespread comments in reviews, may suffer from train noise.” 5
- “If you get a room facing the courtyard the views are worse, but its measurably quieter (train noise mostly).” 22
- “- while it was close to everything it wasn't crazy with noise etc, because of just being on the outside edge of the busiest parts” 1
- “The rooms facing the train tracks bear a lot of noise, but they change it for you with no problem.” 11
- “Do not request it on the side where the train tracks are. The noise from passing trains is a bit annoying, as i read on the internet.” 11
- “I also did not hear too much noise intrusion from the outside (not sure if this will be the case on a normal summer night where most probably more people will be handing out around the area and hotel).” 2
- “The rooms facing the train tracks bear a lot of noise, but they change it for you with no problem.” 5
- “The noise from passing trains is a bit annoying, as i read on the internet.” 5
- “The large honeycomb sticks out in my memory of it. Also had a railway facing room, and there was little noise.” 27
- “This was a very busy hotel even though it was mid-winter, but I would attribute that to the fact that we were there on a weekend. We never heard any room or hallway noise despite the busy feel of the hotel.” 21
- “Train noise in parts of the hotel might bother some” 31
- “I could occasionally hear trains passing but it was a very quiet rumble and didn't disturb me.” 27
- “4 days Adults 2 Ideal hotel for spending a few days in amsterdam. It is located next to the city's central station, and from the room, you can usually hear the uncomfortable noises produced by passing trains.” 5
Bathroom18 mentions · 2 filmed
- “The large bath towels were hung on a rack above, with a hairdryer hanging on the wall. It didn't seem like housekeeping had done a particularly good job before our arrival as there were some dry pee stains on the toilet seat.” 25
- “across from there's the bathroom very modern design very bright very light” On camera60:19
- “The shower, on the other hand, is quite tight and the temperature dial not the most intuitive!” 27
- “The bathroom itself is, again, small but they have managed to squeeze in a full-size bath tub. The shower, on the other hand, is quite tight and the temperature dial not the most intuitive!” 27
- “The bathroom only had a shower stall. Small, but adequate.” 20
- “Though small, the room seemed to stop just shy of feeling cramped. Although our room lacked a tub, the shower stall was clean, updated and provided strong water pressure.” 10
- “Other than the toilet seat though, the bedroom and bathroom were very clean.” 25
- “The bathroom was quite an impressive size - I have not really seen such a large bathroom - with a walk-in shower and a bathtub which could fit maybe 3-4 persons.” 2
- “As with many boutique style hotels in Europe, the bathroom was highly space efficient. Though small, the room seemed to stop just shy of feeling cramped.” 10
- “The bathroom had a fairly small shower, although it had pretty good water pressure.” 25
- “The room was huge, quiet, & the bathroom was really nice.” 21
- “I called reception and informed them. There was no shampoo in my room. Of course, I only noticed that after I was already under the shower.” 32
- “all right guys this is my bathroom at the hotel as you can see it's a beautiful tub over here sanding shower” 13
- “The bathroom was OK with a rain shower, but with low pressure.” 2
- “I appreciated the extra shelving in the bathroom so we could each have an area for our toiletries.” 29
- “a little bit small I mean little bit little bit way too small if you're a larger person this will be harder to move around it's one of the smallest shower I've seen a Hilton” On camera60:53
- “The bathroom was itself well-lit, well-designed, and clean.” 17
- “The sink is more "design" than practical.” 2
Bed & Sleep6 mentions · 2 filmed
- “The bed was comfortable providing a good nights sleep.” 2
- “Now, for being a hilton, in my opinion, it lacked a bit more cleanliness, i found the same stains on the table and the same crumbs on the floor as the day before and the extra bed made a u shape, imagine.” 5
- “let's see the bed oh that's a very very very thin BL blanket firm and the pillow nicely firm not crazy firm but like good medium firmness I like this pillow very good” On camera61:25
- “The blackout curtains worked well.” 2

- “A compact easy chair was paired with a small coffee table. Our Queen-sized bed was firm yet comfortable.” 10
Value20 mentions · 1 filmed
- “Value: Mid-range to high depending on the deal you get but it's worth paying more to be near the places you will be spending your time the most instead of travelling each day.” 21
- “The sky bar is on roof of the Hilton, Centraal Station. Amsterdam - it has fantastic views of the city, a bit pricey but worth it to sit there and watch the beautiful sunset.” 21
- “okay guys this is my dinner it's the burger look at this no fries no nothing and it cost me €20 for this burger anyhow I brought myself some chips so I'm going to have it with my chips” On camera135:28
- “The offerings do vary depending on the time of day. We ordered a few small bites on the day we arrived before having a nap, and it was sufficient for room service. Nothing too crazy. The price was reasonable and the service was very quick for what it's worth.” 3
- “In general i liked it, but in terms of value for money, not so much.” 5
- “However, as the official check-in time wasn't until 3:00 pm, we were informed that it would cost 40 Euros to occupy our room early. Although, we were a bit put off by the extra charge (most hotels have provided me with an early-check in as a courtesy if the room is available), we wanted to just get settled right away so we accepted the offer.” 10
- “A nice warm chocolate chip cookie was a nice added touch. We paid the extra fee for next-level room and board. Worth every penny...” 21
- “While that's more than we usually pay for hotels, it was very good value given how expensive Amsterdam hotels were during our visit and how great its location is.” 25
- “This is a DoubleTree so don't expect luxury finishes, but the wood veneer does a good job of making it feel premium. That's a win in my view, with the design of the hotel keeping up with higher-end hotels at a fraction of the price.” 27
- “Very good value for money. It has changed name; now it belongs to the hilton chain and is called doubletree.” 11
- “The hotel is in a very walkable area and was a reasonable deal on points when considering the cash rates at the time of our stay.” 3
- “The bar also offers a few small snack options after 3:00 pm. We found that prices were completely reasonable and that this was a good spot to grab a drink when we were winding down after a day of walking. Highly recommend checking it out during your stay.” 3
- “The Doubletree by Hilton Amsterdam Centraal station was a great property for the location alone. The hotel is in a very walkable area and was a reasonable deal on points when considering the cash rates at the time of our stay.” 3
- “The bar also offers a few small snack options after 3:00 pm. We found that prices were completely reasonable and that this was a good spot to grab a drink when we were winding down after a day of walking.” 3

- “I would highly recommend this hotel, the price is very reasonable.” 21
- “Very good value for money.” 5
- “5 min. To dam square and another 5 min. To the red light district. Very good value for money.” 11
- “All in all, worth the price. Definitely recommend it to others.” 21
View10 mentions
- “Not to mention, the view from the floor-to-ceiling windows was gorgeous.” 3
- “The Sky Lounge is a must if just for the view. We tried some nachos up there which hit the spot after a day of walking.” 21
- “We also received a pair of the Doubletree's signature warm chocolate chip cookies upon check in. Our room featured floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the River IJ and an unobstructed view of the Amsterdam cityscape.” 10
- “Amsterdam is a little like Paris in that it doesn't have skyscrapers dominating the skyline, so "only" being 11 floors up still offered a great view of the city.” 25
- “Yes, the Movenpick is closer to the ship but you only make that walk once. We stayed at the Movenpick and loved it - booked it when we cruised into AMS on a transatlantic. We stayed on one of the upper floors - beautiful views overlooking IJ.” 1
- “The bars in the hotel both the 'SKYLOUNGE' with a spectacular view over the beautiful city of Amsterdam and the bar downstairs in the downstairs area.” 21
- “Fabulous view from the lounge!.” 21
- “The TV was also anchored into the ceiling at an odd angle, and I could not move the TV to its side for a better view.” 2
- “We stayed at the Movenpick and loved it - booked it when we cruised into AMS on a transatlantic. We stayed on one of the upper floors - beautiful views overlooking IJ.” 1
- “The river view added a calm, luxurious feel to mornings and evenings.” 29
