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

I just got back from a few days at The Grand and overall it was quite nice... I was there for a conference that my company planned and threw and the on-site staff was excellent. The meeting room was quite nice with a Nespresso machine, a retractable screen and natural light! (most conference rooms are always dark and dreary.) The... more

I stayed here for 3 days with my wife. The hotel is very good and the atmosphere is very nice. Very good service from the staff. Please don't do any rehabilitations in the bar area. That area is very good. I did not like the new rooms. To modern. The bed was VERY good. After a long day walk it... more

Stayed for 2 nights. This was our first time at the hotel and we were pleasantly surprised. We hadn't seen the pre-remodel lobby area and rooms so to us the hotel seemed bright and fresh. The bar area is traditional it it would be a great shame if the hotel plans to remodel this. We had a refurbished room on... more

Until this year, this was my all time favourite hotel. The size, the housekeeping and the concierge service were excellent and remain so - but alas the style is changing. The public areas and the rooms were warm, comfortable, and relaxing in a traditional European style - but all this is going. On entering you can see that the classic... more

I stayed here just this week and had a great time, but a very creepy manager ruined my whole impression of the place on the very last day. Amazing modern-meets-old furniture and fresh flowers in the lobby of this old former convent and state house, beautiful terrace, friendly and efficient staff, butter soft beds, and a REALLY great staff and... more
