Bathroom

- “Not only do they sell water, but also luxurious care products which we found in our bathroom. We couldn't get over how awesome the walls were in this bathroom. The colors and patterns were bold and had just as much character as the bedroom.” 15
- “Bathrooms have rainfall shower-heads with exceptional water pressure. Most room categories do not feature a bathtub, so make sure to pay attention to the details when booking your room if this is important to you.” 6
Food

- “The breakfast is all included and is at the restaurant downstairs. It was fantastic. It contains a buffet with hot foods, fresh fruits, pastries, and you can also order whatever you want ala carte like omelettes, pancakes, etc” 9
- “Aside from breakfast, lunch and dinner is also served at Celia and the staff is always extremely kind, with nothing ever left unstocked.” 6
Location
97read from 1 source · Deep coverage
- “The location makes exploring Amsterdam ridiculously easy, and the little extras - like free bikes, happy hour wine, and takeaway coffee - make the stay feel a bit more special than your typical city hotel.” 17
- “I thought the location was perfect, since it was easy to get to and from the train station and many of the city's major attractions.” 28
Noise
91read from 7 sources · Solid coverage
- “Let me elaborate. Although I had my room next to different streets (during my different stays), I did not hear any street noise, so that's perfect.” 27
- “Noise Levels Surprisingly quiet. We didn't hear a thing - not even the famous Amsterdam tram bells, which are normally impossible to miss. Considering how central the hotel is, that was pretty impressive.” 17

- “The staff truly went above and beyond for us.” 15
- “It's not often you wander down to reception close to midnight and ask: "Do you happen to have any nail clippers?" But after a quick rummage behind the desk, the guy came back with a brand new pair. My annoyingly chipped toenail could finally be dealt with. A small moment... but one that sums up how helpful the staff were.” 17
Bed & Sleep

- “The mattress was deep, the pillows were ridiculously comfortable, and after a full day walking around Amsterdam, it felt borderline heavenly.” 17
- “Our beds were super comfy with luxe linen sheets and the mattress was a custom Kimpton Ultra-Comfort Mattress made by Hypnos. If you're not familiar with Hypnos, they are a British brand that specializes in luxury mattresses. We had no idea until we looked them up and now we know why we slept so well.” 15

Service38 mentions
- “The team is super friendly. From the team at the reception (who instantly recognized me from the second day already) up to the support staff - great vibe and atmosphere.” 27
- “The service was great as was the chef making the omelettes.” 26
- “The breakfast and the bar are both still great. Absolutely amazing staff and service at both.” 26
- “The lobby was often bustling with people, but the staff always looked so calm and collected.” 15
- “The staff truly went above and beyond for us.” 15
- “The Hotel Clemens, right in the middle of the "action/activities". Stayed the last April; clean, good breakfast, very helpful staff near many of the sites.” 8
- “The hotel staff are also to be commended, particularly the concierge. They were accommodating when we needed information about the museums and how to get to them, including giving us tips on the best times to go.” 19
- “After our concert on the second night, we returned back, as instructed, to ask about late check-out. Honestly, this was just...not a good interaction, and I say that as someone who sometimes would rather bear a grudge than make a scene, but we asked, and with almost total condescension, were met with an instant 'not possible'.” 20
- “I do like the De Witt. Great location and great hotel and staff.” 4
- “To my surprise, they gave me exactly the same room again. Even better, they also offered me another welcome gift, another drinks voucher and another chefs taste A genuinely thoughtful gesture from the hotel team.” 14
- “Furthermore - I had a small issue with one of the bed lights in my room. It was instantly fixed and I got a nice present from the team.” 27
- “I'll be pretty direct - our arrival interaction at reception was functional, but not overly engaging.” 20
- “De Check-in verloopt soepel omdat ik alle gegevens vooraf al online had ingevuld via de IHG App.” 21
- “We arrived on a Thursday evening and had a short wait while the staff assisted others. I could not tell that there was a special line for elites and the front desk could only accommodate three staff members at a time anyway. But we were greeted warmly and our platinum status was recognized.” 11
- “In order to kill, nay murder, some time, the receptionist helpfully suggests a cafe she knows is open at this hour.” 2
- “The concierge was very helpful and we were able to buy all-day public transport passes from him charged to our room - no extra charge.” 12
- “Crystal ordered the buttermilk pancakes and Candy had scrambled eggs and toast. We appreciated the fast service and took our time with our food and drinks while we waited for the rain to subside.” 15
- “The two concierges I met were also both courteous and had great restaurant suggestions.” 28
- “It's not often you wander down to reception close to midnight and ask: "Do you happen to have any nail clippers?" But after a quick rummage behind the desk, the guy came back with a brand new pair. My annoyingly chipped toenail could finally be dealt with. A small moment... but one that sums up how helpful the staff were.” 17
- “joyed a glass of wine every night and all the bartenders were super nice.” 15
- “The people manning the counter were friendly.” 28
- “The hotel chain's famous "Forgot it? We've got it" service always goes above and beyond here in Amsterdam and this particular hotel's staff is among the most knowledgeable in the city.” 6
- “- The staff was kind & helpful.” 25
- “The service as a whole was good, the attentive waiters were always keeping an eye out to see if I needed anything.” 19
- “The front desk even offered us a drink at their Super Lyan Bar while we waited, which we really appreciated since we were definitely in need of some drinks after a long day of traveling.” 15
- “The breakfast was wonderful, staff very friendly, and the location was perfect. We walked to the Anne Frank House, The Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum..pretty much everywhere.” 8
- “The entire staff was very professional and attentive, which in my opinion makes all the difference in the guest experience.” 19
- “An initial front desk quote for the cost of a vehicle transfer between Amsterdam and the Dutch city of Utrecht (long story), was quite a bit less than the driver's final amount.” 2
- “With our unique personality and heartfelt service, consider us your personal sanctuary.” 16
- “Breakfast was also included in our rate, and this is one area I will pay compliment to - the staff here, in particular 'Hugh', who seemed to constantly be manning the entrance, were mostly a joy; chatty, engaging and proactive.” 20
- “In terms of service, apart from the check-in hiccup, everyone I interacted with was fantastic.” 28
- “Great staff (from reception to concierge team, restaurant and housekeeping): really impressed by quality of service.” 14
- “Check-in was far from straight forward and took well over 30 minutes despite there being no queue: I was originally handed the key to "your King room Sir, and we've made sure that it's the same room for all 3 nights".” 4
- “Friendly, helpful desk staff (they helped me figure out where to buy a post-card stamp), and you can take an express bus between the airport and a stop a block away from the hotel.” 8
- “The rather attentive receptionist recognised my Spire Elite status and confirmed that we could expect our early check-in.” 19
- “It's on Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal a few minutes walk to Central Station (assuming you survive the dozen opportunities for a collision with a bicylist). It isn't super cheap but well located, good service, nice rooms and spaces.” 12
- “InterContinental hotels are always superb but InterContinental Kyiv blew me away. This hotel is gorgeous beyond belief and the entire staff was amazing.” 15
- “Bathrooms have walk-in showers with French-door-style glass windows showers, really nice grey/blue Escher-esque tiling and (my fav) Marie-Stella soaps and creams. Oh, I love that smell.” 27
Room34 mentions
- “An issue I ran into is one reservation they charged me for the hotel room price, even though I prepaid all the bookings. I didn't see it until a couple of days later. I talked to the desk and sent them proof of my credit card transactions, and the Chase Travel confirmation email, and they refunded the payment. But it seems like their system has some kinks to fix regarding prepay” 9
- “While listed as a private room, you have your own floor, and need never see the owner, who is however very pleasant (an American, Carolyn, who runs her own business in the Netherlands).” 8
- “The desk was a good size, the TV had a couple of English channels and the shelf-wardrobe-thing (see picture below) was pretty stylish.” 1
- “Rooms are plush and contemporary, with a wide array of great amenities -- Nespresso machines, Bluetooth speakers, Hypnos beds, and Frette robes -- and modern bathrooms with rainfall showers.” 10
- “The hotel was under construction and we had some issues (e.g. food from the previous guest in our room), which made the stay substantially less pleasant.” 27
- “When we checked into our first room, it was at the end of the hall and the room was rather dark and was facing another building. Even with all the lights on in the middle of the day, it felt like it was already midnight and we could barely see anything inside our suitcases.” 15
- “The rooms at Kimpton De Witt strike a nice balance between stylish and comfortable. You can tell straight away that this isn't just another standard hotel room.” 17
- “Some of the hotel's suites have their own private terrace, which is an absolute treat in the city center.” 6
- “As I have said above and will repeat, the room was great! The decoration was a perfect mix between the new and the traditional.” 19
- “When I eventually get to it later in the day on return from my Haarlem sojourn, the view from my comfortable "Essential King Room" is literally of a brick wall, with a few street and laneway glimpses.” 2
- “The room was small but configured efficiently.” 28
- “Across from the beds was a single piece of furniture that acted as a desk and as a chest of drawers, not that we used the drawers. It also had a number of easily-accessible outlets on its side, which was very handy.” 11
- “One downfall about the bathrooms at the Kimpton is that even in suites, the bathroom areas are a bit small and leave a lot to be desired for closet space.” 6
- “Across from the bed was a beautiful dark wooden desk with a work area and a few drawers.” 28
- “We weren't able to get into our room until later in the evening, but we were happy to have a room that had more natural light and the view from our window was a 100 times better.” 15
- “The room AC is a dial, simply + or -. So you start in the center and rotate the dial more to + or - side. It took a couple of days for me to figure out what was comfortable” 9
- “Some rooms are not accessible due to the layout of the building, which may also provide difficulties for some travelers.” 6
- “The work desk doubles as TV closet and is ok to have your laptop and get some work done. Ok ... in the way that it won't be the best desk you'll ever have (but the top has a recessed area for your pencils which is pretty cool).” 27
- “The front desk even offered us a drink at their Super Lyan Bar while we waited, which we really appreciated since we were definitely in need of some drinks after a long day of traveling. We were in Room 237 and had an awesome view of the bustling streets with trams going by.” 15
- “KIMPTON DE WITT AMSTERDAM ADDRESS: NIEUWEZIJDS VOORBURGWAL 5, 1012 RC AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS (MAP) PHONE: +31 020 521 1888 @kimptondewitt A complete review of our stay at the Treehouse Hotel London. We booked the Kind Studio Suite on the 14th floor with amazing views of the city.” 15
- “The blurred Mona Lisa (or whoever that might be) over the bed was slightly off-putting, but to each their own.” 20
- “Along the interior side of the room was the "closet." I use quotation marks because this was really just a hanging rack that I've been encountering more and more in hotels like the Hyatt Regency Sydney and the MOXY Times Square in New York. ... I know it was a space saver, but honestly, I would rather not have my clothes out in the open in the room. It just felt like a cheap touch to me.” 28
- “Wi-Fi is free throughout the property, and it was fast and reliable in our room.” 10
- “Sleek yet cozy decor peppered with calming shades of blue and dark wood furniture.” 32
- “The rooms have a stylish combination of design furniture, eclectic framed images, Delft-blue and grey accents and French doors, giving the room a warm, cosy feel.” 27
- “De ramen bij het bed hebben een mooi uitzicht op de Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal en de stad.” 21
- “At 12 square meters (130 square feet), Standard Rooms are small even by European standards, though they fit work desks, and all other room types are more spacious.” 10
- “The childhood home of 17th-century Dutch playwright PC Hooft -- located in the middle of the property -- now houses a beautiful three-bedroom suite.” 10
- “OK, one perk down, but hopefully more to go, right? Our room was pleasant; fresh and pretty funky, in a triangular shape with the bed to one side and a desk and TV on the other.” 20
- “The spartan exterior, save for a single neon side reading "and breathe" that peeks out from the green facade, belies the stylish decor inside.” 32
- “The room itself was great with a king size bed and lots of pillows to make it cosy.” 19
- “We'd much rather have the view and natural light coming in than a darker room. Our room was modern, trendy, and effortlessly minimal. We especially loved the bold blue tiles in the bathroom. Every accent piece was thoughtfully designed and placed which created a cozy yet stylish atmosphere.” 15
- “De ramen tegenover het bed kijken uit op een kantoor. Dus die gordijnen kun je dus beter gesloten houden.” 21
- “I really liked the design of the chair by the window.” 1
Noise8 mentions
- “But somehow the room, with its upbeat though more subdued than elsewhere palette of bold greens and bright blues, is full of light and on the opposite side to the potentially noisy main street facing the hotel.” 2
- “Noise Levels Surprisingly quiet. We didn't hear a thing - not even the famous Amsterdam tram bells, which are normally impossible to miss. Considering how central the hotel is, that was pretty impressive.” 17
- “Yet this area was quiet in the evenings and we did not have to deal with noise either inside or outside the hotel.” 11
- “The room was comfortable if a bit subject to minor street noise (I was on the street side of the hotel, probably quieter on the opposite side).” 8
- “The hotel is close to but not on the main busy (so busy) streets, so it's quite quiet during all parts of the day” 9
- “Let me elaborate. Although I had my room next to different streets (during my different stays), I did not hear any street noise, so that's perfect.” 27
- “Note that light sleepers may want to request a room away from the street, as traffic noise can be an issue.” 10
- “I booked a "King Essential" and they put me in a "King Premium". The best thing about it was it was on the top floor, so very quiet.” 9
Location26 mentions
- “Bottom line: worth it, and why? It's the first Kimpton hotel to open in Europe, and the location is one of the most convenient in Amsterdam-just a short walk from Centraal Station.” 32
- “It's on Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal a few minutes walk to Central Station (assuming you survive the dozen opportunities for a collision with a bicylist). It isn't super cheap but well located, good service, nice rooms and spaces.” 12
- “Location - The hotel location is great! It's less than 5 minutes walk from Ams Central train station, which is only 17 minutes by train from the airport. There's also a streetcar (tram) stop almost right outside the hotel.” 9
- “The location makes exploring Amsterdam ridiculously easy, and the little extras - like free bikes, happy hour wine, and takeaway coffee - make the stay feel a bit more special than your typical city hotel.” 17
- “Very central location (5 minutes walk from Centraal station).” 14
- “I do like the De Witt. Great location and great hotel and staff.” 4
- “Here is a very comfortable Airbnb in a great location.” 8
- “The Kimpton DeWitt Amsterdam has a great location and was a good choice for us.” 31
- “The neighborhood itself isn't much (the hotel is not on a canal); but you can easily walk to all the main sites in the city or hop on one of the trams if going longer distances.” 23
- “We were excited to be staying right in the city center with tons of walkable nearby attractions. The hotel was surprisingly modern which was quite the contrast from the surrounding area which had a beautiful old-world charm to it.” 15
- “While the neighborhood doesn't have much character, the location is perfect for exploring Amsterdam.” 23
- “Probably the best thing about its location is the access to public transport. There are plenty of trams stopping in front of the hotel - otherwise, Central Station offers super speedy access to plenty of buses, trains, metros and even ferries (to the Northern part of the city).” 27
- “While the neighborhood doesn't have much character, the location is perfect for exploring Amsterdam. The rooms are small but nicely appointed.” 23
- “Location - The hotel location is great! It's less than 5 minutes walk from Ams Central train station, which is only 17 minutes by train from the airport.” 9
- “- 10-15min walk from centraal station (easy to get to & from the airport), close to other public transportation, and is walking distance from everything else. I never needed an uber.” 25
- “We were in Amsterdam-Centrum, the inner-most borough and historical city centre of Amsterdam, so we were right in the hub of all the action. We were able to walk to many nearby attractions and were just minutes away from the tram and metro stations.” 15
- “We loved staying at Hotel L'Ambassade. We're staying at the Kimpton de Witt very close to the central station. First stay there but the reviews look good and it's a convenient location.” 8
- “Situated approximately five-minutes from Amsterdam's Centraal Station, the Kimpton De Witt offers visitors a great location and perfectly appointed accommodations.” 6
- “The hotel is very well located and is about five minutes walk from the central train station, which has a direct connection to Schiphol Airport. Super easy to get to!” 19
- “I thought the location was perfect, since it was easy to get to and from the train station and many of the city's major attractions.” 28
- “One of those was the Kimpton DeWitt which has a great location near Centraal Station, the canal cruises and lots of restaurants and shops.” 11
- “Praised for its ideal location in Amsterdam's City Centre, the hotel is within walking distance of Amsterdam Centraal Station and relatively close to popular attractions like the Anne Frank House and the Jordaan district.” 3
- “Overall, whilst the hotel is centrally located (especially if travelling by Eurostar) I would hesitate to recommend it based on the experience we had.” 4
- “If you taking the new Eurostar service to Amsterdam or coming in from the airport by rail, this hotel is well located - especially if have a lot of luggage. Kimpton De Witt is only a 5 minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal Station.” 1
- “The location close to Centraal Station is a huge plus though if you have a lot of luggage like me it's best to cab it rather than walk it.” 2
- “Location-wise, this hotel is about as good as it gets. The Kimpton De Witt sits roughly 400 metres from Amsterdam Centraal Station, which is basically where most people arrive in the city.” 17
Food33 mentions
- “Cafe Celia has a high quality buffet and an a la carte item is included.” 26
- “Buffet breakfast in the restaurant, very good from what I remember. Much better than any HIE anyway.” 26
- “But de Witt had an extensive selection of hot buffet items, and I think it also had made to order items.” 26
- “Aside from breakfast, lunch and dinner is also served at Celia and the staff is always extremely kind, with nothing ever left unstocked.” 6
- “Stayed at that exact hotel and did the same twice in the last two years. Also, breakfast at this hotel is great! Just try to ignore all the awful Viking River cruise people” 26
- “The breakfast is all included and is at the restaurant downstairs. It was fantastic. It contains a buffet with hot foods, fresh fruits, pastries, and you can also order whatever you want ala carte like omelettes, pancakes, etc” 9
- “Benefits Welcome Amenity - The breakfast was happily offerred across all three nights. The breakfast was nice, especially the cooked to order items and the breads.” 4
- “The buffet was smaller than some but good quality. The hot items were scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage.” 23
- “The breakfast was nice, especially the cooked to order items and the breads.” 4
- “The finishing touches that would make it feel like a luxury stay in general felt missing - such as them offering such limited items for free breakfast (as opposed to the Paris buffet) and that too only valid for 1 day instead of the entire stay.” 14
- “The hotel's breakfast buffet and al la carte offerings are located in the hotel's main restaurant, which features bright and sunny décor. We were positively pleased with the breakfast offering, however, the price tag for breakfast is quite high if not booked with your room in advance.” 6
- “- Breakfast is buffet style, but you can get the eggs and coffee made to order. Good balance of savory & sweet options.” 25
- “In contrast to @Supergers49 we didn't think that much of the breakfast. Things didn't get off to a great start on our first morning when they tried to charge me for it (despite it being my welcome amenity), although that was quickly corrected.” 4
- “Wyers is a hip restaurant serving up tasty American-style comfort food in an industrial-chic space with direct access from the street.” 10
- “I used the credit on room service, was able to order like 7 dishes (burgers, fish and chips, beef tartare, etc) and they were all pretty good” 9
- “Breakfast is a la carte at the Wyers restaurant in the building and pretty neat. Apart from the usual suspect (a wicked bacon and eggs, american pancakes, oatmeal) they offer things like 'cauliflower tabouleh salad'.” 27
- “In the mornings a breakfast spot served a very limited menu. We ate out both days as there were a number of restaurants in easy walking distance.” 11
- “One aspect that I noticed that could be improved was the pastries and cakes as they did not have many choices. There were only a few croissants with chocolate or dried fruit and nothing else.” 19
- “Alhoewel de menukaart ten tijde van Corona beperkt is zijn er zeker een aantal smakelijke (bij)gerechten en desserts te bestellen.” 21
- “Very good breakfast (especially hot dishes).” 14
- “As I mentioned, there was a coffee counter down in the lobby, convenient for a pick-me-up before heading out into the city.” 28
- “A filling (albeit expensive) a la carte breakfast with an array of sweet and savory options is served every morning here, and the restaurant remains open throughout the day until late in the evening.” 10
- “Central Station area is most of all loud, busy and touristy in the bad way. Crappy restaurants, souvenir shops, dirt, fast food, AirBnB-overload ... the works.” 27
- “The breakfast itself was also a real treat, with a wide selection of hot and cold items, juices, breads and of course, coffee available from the staff.” 20
- “☕ Great Breakfast & Takeaway Coffee Solid breakfast options and proper takeaway coffee cups - ideal when you're heading straight out to explore.” 17
- “Downstairs, the restaurant Wyers serves elevated comfort food with a Dutch twist, like the Little Monster Burger, with two patties topped with pickles and smothered in young Gouda cheese and caramelized onions for about $16.” 32
- “The selection of bread, cold meats and hot food were more than enough and, if I wanted to, I could still order omelettes cooked to order.” 19
- “If you're a coffee lover, be very intentional with your order. My Americano order resulted in American-style drip coffee.” 26
- “Breakfast was served in the restaurant downstairs, in a space with large glass windows that overlooked the street and was quite pleasant.” 19
- “The on-site American restaurant is a great spot for evening cocktails or a meal, and the cafe offers great coffee and freshly made beignets to-go.” 10
- “The coffee pods come in different colours but don't really explain what they are - so every morning becomes a bit of a gamble.” 17
- “The breakfast and the bar are both still great.” 26
- “I agree, I'd choose the room with the view and light over the one without the tram noise. It's nice that you had a few dining options in the hotel for rainy days.” 15
Bathroom16 mentions
- “The colors and patterns were bold and had just as much character as the bedroom. There were two shower options: rain shower and handheld shower head. We were happy to see that we had options since we aren't huge fans of the rain shower.” 15
- “Not only do they sell water, but also luxurious care products which we found in our bathroom. We couldn't get over how awesome the walls were in this bathroom. The colors and patterns were bold and had just as much character as the bedroom.” 15
- “Another sustainability attempt that I felt was perhaps not the brightest idea was not replacing the towels unless they were specifically left on the floor - there actually isn't really any generous hanging space in the bathroom, and so towels never really dried during the day despite best wishes.” 20
- “Who doesn't appreciate a well-organised bathroom where everything is exactly where you expect it to be? Plenty of towels, clean layout, and a shower that easily fits two people.” 17
- “Like the lobby, the bathroom had geometric Delft-inspired tiles that made it seem cheerful.” 28
- “One downfall about the bathrooms at the Kimpton is that even in suites, the bathroom areas are a bit small and leave a lot to be desired for closet space.” 6
- “Bathrooms have rainfall shower-heads with exceptional water pressure. Most room categories do not feature a bathtub, so make sure to pay attention to the details when booking your room if this is important to you.” 6
- “The Premium was definitely a bit bigger than the Essential room, but both rooms suffered from lack of storage space in the bathroom - single standalone sinks (sorry, I mean basins....) with just a small shelf on which to place your items.” 4
- “One slightly unfortunate design aspect would probably have to be the bathroom door, consisting of rippled glass, meaning anyone using the facilities at night is likely to light up the bedroom by using the bathroom light.” 20
- “The bathroom was a bit small with a rainfall shower inside the bathtub. There was not enough room for my make up bag and, as the light in the bathroom wasn't that great anyway, I did my make up in the room.” 1
- “The decoration was a perfect mix between the new and the traditional. Although it was not very large, the bathroom was excellent.” 19
- “The shower was great, being a waterfall shower with good pressure. It was great for relaxing after a day walking around Amsterdam.” 19
- “Its eclectic furnishings include mid-century pieces filled with quirky knick knacks, adding a pleasingly homey note, while the walls of the compact bathroom are wrapped in eye-popping geometric blue and while wall and floor tiles.” 2
- “The bathroom door is glass with the bottom portion distorted for privacy but the top panes are standard glass. If sharing the room, note that there is a lack of privacy.” 23
- “De badkamer is redelijk ruim opgezet met een afgescheiden regendouche en apart toilet.” 21
- “The bathroom was a bit small with a rainfall shower inside the bathtub.” 1
Bed & Sleep7 mentions
- “Beds are comfortable and are fitted with some of the most luxurious linens available. My mother says her stays at this hotel are always the most relaxing because she gets incredible sleep.” 6
- “We did manage to hit Amsterdam on a few days where the high temperature was in the 70s F and even with the temperature cranked down as low as we could get it, we were still extremely warm with the duvet and too cool without it. As someone who likes a very cold room for sleeping, I struggled getting a good night's sleep just because I was so warm.” 11
- “The mattress was deep, the pillows were ridiculously comfortable, and after a full day walking around Amsterdam, it felt borderline heavenly.” 17
- “Smart TVs have a range of international channels, and wonderful Hypnos beds come with soft duvets, several pillows, and fluffy bed runners.” 10
- “The king bed was a Kimpton Ultra Comfort Mattress from Hypnos, and I found it to be comfortable, just the right balance between firm and soft.” 28
- “Our beds were super comfy with luxe linen sheets and the mattress was a custom Kimpton Ultra-Comfort Mattress made by Hypnos. If you're not familiar with Hypnos, they are a British brand that specializes in luxury mattresses. We had no idea until we looked them up and now we know why we slept so well.” 15
- “The bed was comfortable - although I am lucky that this is usually a given when we review upscale hotels for HfP.” 1
Value8 mentions
- “Closets are outfitted with safes, umbrellas, and yoga mats, and small coffee corners, complete with Nespresso machines, minibars stocked with a great (albeit overpriced) array of drinks and snacks, and electric kettles.” 10
- “The hotel's breakfast buffet and al la carte offerings are located in the hotel's main restaurant, which features bright and sunny décor. We were positively pleased with the breakfast offering, however, the price tag for breakfast is quite high if not booked with your room in advance.” 6
- “A filling (albeit expensive) a la carte breakfast with an array of sweet and savory options is served every morning here, and the restaurant remains open throughout the day until late in the evening.” 10
- “For a hotel of this quality and in such a central location, the room rates are extremely reasonable, especially considering you can earn and redeem points on stays here.” 28
- “This must have been one of my best IHG redemptions ever - 3nts over Pride for just about 100k points, with cash rates running north of £1k.” 4
- “Yes, it's slightly on the pricier side, but Amsterdam isn't exactly a cheap city anyway. When you factor in the location and perks, it actually balances out pretty well.” 17
- “I had a cappuccino here both mornings of my stay. Each cost 3.50 euros ($4) and was delicious.” 28
- “See what the hotel is like in this review of a points stay at good value.” 31
