We booked on Priceline and got a great deal. As everyone points out its not a 5* We were upgraded to an apartment which is located round the corner up the street. We were given the top floor apartment, it's quite a hike up the stairs to the top floor. But it was a nice room, plenty of space. The... More

The hotel is located centrally just on the outskirts of the red light district. My room was very noisy and the hotel provided earplugs by default. The room felt dated and the TV was straight from the nineties. The internet cost over 10 euros for a day pass and a similar high price was charged for the breakfast. It illustrates... More

We had read mixed reviews on several traveler feedback sites and chose to stay at the NH Barbizon Palace because of its central location. However, the room we were assigned turned out to be basically a cave. Although we requested a high floor, we were assigned a room on the first floor overlooking the lobby. When we asked for a...

The location of this NH hotel is great. Just near the train station. Room is nice, clean and big windows so fresh air get in. Breakfast and parking are too expensive. Better find for half prize in 2 steps from the hotel.

Location can't be beat if you're going to travel around the Netherlands thru Central Station, which I did. Only a short walk from the train so carring your bags is easy. Very close to the red light district but also away from the craziness there. Tons of great bars and restaurants near by. The rooms are a little older but... More

We booked throught priceline and were pleased when we arrived. Due to construction in the area we were not able to see the hotel when we exited the central train station but after about 50 yards we could see it and it was a very short walk. We ask for and got a quiet room. The staff were very friendly... More

Very central hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious. Nice bathroom. Our room was on the canal and it was very loud, it may be better if you requested to face the inner courtyard. Did not include breakfast.

This hotel is in a great location if you want to be in the action. We were on the train so just walked across the road, and we were in the hotel! Awesome. The red light district, coffee shops and canals are all close by. I'm not really fussed but the coffee shops and red light area, but interesting to... More

We arrived there later than I had planned (so we had missed our usual happy hour, making someone a little cranky...) The young man who checked us in could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Nothing beats starting out a hotel stay with a friendly face, and, oh, an upgrade!! We had a really nice room on the 3rd... More

I was a little worried about staying at the NH Barbizon Palace because of some of the reviews I'd read. I experienced none of the problems others did. I found the reception staff to be very congenial and helpful. I was there early and there was a room for me. I requested one by an elevator and without a problem,... More
