Beautiful Hotel that was once a Convent. Stayed 2 nights in July. Room was spacious and contemporary with flatscreen TV and great channels. Nice coffee machine. Big bathroom, yes, the shower did leak but have had that happen in other hotels. Had a view of the courtyard, unfortunately they were working on it while we were there and we did... more

The hotel is centrally located, 10 minutes walk to the Central Station. But some locals got it mixed up with other Sofitel and it took us a while to find it. Although it is right next to the red light district, it is tucked away and is quiet and safe. It is close to most sight seeing places. The room... more

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

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
