Location fantastic. Close to all the local attractions in the tourist area of the city. Walking distance to everywhere. Rooms are normal size for European cities. (Small). Under floor heating in the bathroom is the job. More

For the most part, I can only confirm the good things that other's have said. We stayed there end of April/early May. The location was convenient, the staff warm and helpful and the rooms comfortably large ( we were upgraded to a suite) and very clean. We requested a street view and that had its pluses and minuses. We did... More

Recently spent a long weekend in amsterdam. The hotel was 5 minutes walk from the train station, along the main road. Excellent location, close to all the bars, resteraunts, shops. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean, and well furnished, with a privet bathroom. The rooms were a little small, but had everything you needed. More

I'm a professional incentive consultant but was asked by my rotary club to organise a weekend Amsterdam. It is not easy to find a place in the city centre where one can sit with a group of 32 "with the locals" and not somewhere stashed away on a second floor! And have a decent dinner. But "de roode leeuw" totally... More

One cannot beat the location of this hotel! Six blocks from the main train station, one block from the major shopping street, two blocks from the Red Light District (quite safe these days as it is swarming with tourists and police) and 100 yards from the city central square. The rooms are a bit on the small side by American... More

We stayed here in January and booked a twin share room, however as they were renovating the hotel they moved us into a suite. New, clean, friendly staff. Will definitely stay here again. More

We had a great trip to Amsterdam and enjoyed our stay. The Hotel Amsterdam - De Roode Leeuw is in the center and very well located. We can really recommend it. If we travel to Amsterdam again, this hotel will be our accommodation again. More

We were pleased to learn that we contributed a little bit to making the birthday journey of your wife an enjoyable one. Unfortunately we have to inform you that the smoking rooms will be phased out at the end of the year. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future Yours sincerely Rene Wildeman, General Manager More

I had a weekend off during a 3 week European business trip and choose this hotel based on price (under $200) and location. It is about 700 metres from Central Station and right off of Dam Square. When I booked the room I requested a room facing Damrak and when I checked in I was extremely pleased as the room... More

Quite small, tiny bathroom but clean. Tea and coffee making facilities aren't the best. Room was tired, dated and old looking however hotel lobby was nice. Mediocre at its best... More

Let me begin with presenting my apologies for the fact that you had to wait 10 minutes before the door was opened when returning at night. We shall look into this matter as this is not acceptable. We fully agree that the room on the "smoking" starts to look dated. All our rooms were refurbished 10 years ago so we... More
