This hotel is actually more amazing than you think it is from the photographs. It is really really lovely and very impressive. We were allocated a canal view room with a balcony and I can honestly say that the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in - including my own. The hotel is expensive but then... more

Despite a mess-up with the hotel reservation system overbooking the rooms, I had to stay in the nearby Park hotel for the first night of my recent stay in Amsterdam instead of The American, where I've stayed several times before over the last 15 years. I'd never experienced any problems with booking a room in this hotel before, so it... more

I could not recommend staying at this hotel until the road / building works outside the hotel are complete. Check before booking. Its a shame because the hotel itself is impressive in itself and in its location and its clear that the staff are dedicated and diligent. more

We stayed for 5 days over christmas 2007 and had an excellent time, we are 2 couples aged between 25 and 32. Me and my partner have stayed here on a few occasions during the last 4 years and the place just gets nicer. The location is great in a nice more upmarket area of amsterdam close to good restaurants,... more

The location of the hotel is perfect and close to everything you might want to visit. We were given a beautiful canal view room on the top floor which had an amazing view and a small balcony. The room had a lot of natural light and was very clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. We weren't charged... more

The room was nice we were upgraded to a junior suite so it was very spacious with amenities like bathrobes/slippers, but the furniture was similar to a dorm room, it needs some updating. On our third day my husbands wallet was stolen from the room and the hotel did nothing to help with this stressful situation, they even tried to... more

Situated in a very central location, the hotel was perfect for heading into town and enjoying the canals. The staff were lovely, and the hotel itself was very attractive and clean. On the downside: Our room was tiny with a miniscule window which looked out onto a concrete block- we had no natural light at all! The hotel has no... more

It's a very good hotel, really well located: 10 minutes walk from the two Amsterdam's main museums (Van Gogh and Rijks) and on the outermost of the city channels (you can reach Dam Place in less than 15 minutes). It's an expensive hotel. We decided not to have breakfast, since they sell it for about 29 euros (close to the... more

Stayed at the American Hotel in Amsterdam in August /08 and was thankful that we had booked such a central location. Within walking distance to pretty much everything. Close to the museums as well. Staff were very welcoming and the room was great. The room had a large balcony overlooking the fountain which we could sit out on and enjoy... more
