I stayed at this hotel more then once. Great place. Check out the cafe's around the corner, like Cafe de Pool in de Oude Hoogstraat 8, one bridge away. This is my favorite. They have a great art collection of 40 works on the wall by contemporary Dutch artists. This 85 year old artist-cafe is different from the rest in... more

Stayed at the Sofitel Grand in Amsterdam for a 2 night weekend break with my boyfriend. The hotel is in the perfect location but not next door to any noisy bars or cafes. Hotel staff were very friendly, not one problem while we were there. Only thing which was a bit disappointing is that we were put in one of... more

we (2 couples) stayed at this hotel for one night in mid march - a brief weekend stay in Amsterdam to celebrate my wife's recovery from illness. we checked in at 11 a.m; it was somewhat disappointing to be told that neither of our rooms were ready despite asking in advance for at least one room to be prepared for... more

The Grand is possibly my favorite hotel in the world, having worked in 25 countries. But, nevertheless: I confess to being somewhat... disappointed with my stay November 12 - 15, 2008. I have repeatedly recommended the hotel in the past to my firm's clients over the past decade. Now... I am not so sure. The stay was OK, but just... more

Just stayed for 8 days at The Amsterdam Grand. We stayed in an updated room (they are about halfway done with the refurbishing) and I cannot say enough about it. The exterior of the hotel is amazing - the entry way majestic and private. The room was beautiful, the service even better. Our seven year old had her cot already... more

The hotel is lovely. The building is historically and culturally very interesting, and every important sight of Amsterdam is near by. Great service, nice, spacious rooms, absolutely marvellous French cuisine diners! more

We went to the Grand in Amsterdam to escape Christmas domesticity and we were not disappointed. I've been in some cracking hotels through my work but I dont think that I've been to a better one than this. The check in was speedy and the room lovely. Such a central location and we hardly noticed the close proximaty to the... more

We stayed at Sofitel The Grand Amsterdam for 2 nights in early Dec 2008. We took a Connexxion hotel shuttle from the Schiphol airport, and the trip took about 25-30 minutes (with a few other hotel drop-offs). When we tried to check-in at Sofitel, we were told that our booking was not available. We then figured that we were at... more

We stayed at this hotel through 'a friend of a friend'. As such, I don't have anything bad to say. Our stay was free, and all our needs were met. ...Couldn't ask for more, really. Our room was nice enough, albeit a bit on the small side for my liking. We only stayed one night (which is not uncommon for... more

Stayed here for 2 nights whilst on business. The hotel itself is well located in central Amsterdam though make sure you know how to find it if walking there. The building is impressive and the public space in the lobby is beautiful and what I was hoping the rest of the hotel would look like as well. However, the corridors... more
