This small hotel is located on the corner of the Vijzelgracht and the Herengracht, slap bang in the middle of Amsterdam. Within 1 minute's walk you're at the floating Flower Market and the Muntplein (start of the Kalverstraat - the shopping street). If you walk two minutes, you're at the Rembrandtplein. Everything is so close by, it's great. We were... More

Had a wonderful time as a guest at Banks Mansion, were made to feel very much 'at home' with much more than you would expect from any hotel........espresso machine, cognac, whiskey, gin and mini bar all included in price. Excellent breakfasts and open bar plus wine and cheese in evening. Great rooms, great location and warm welcome. More

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous both for its architecture and for the interior design. It's 10 mins walking distance to the city center and facing the canal. Very close to the flower market as well. Everything there was so comfortable and warm. Such a great atmosphere with a lovely fireplace and very efficient and kind staff. The thing I enjoyed... More

We arrived well before check-in time but they had our room available. Dropped our gear and had breakfast before setting out to explore this wonderfully... More

I stayed here for a convention and it really turned out to be a great choice. The hotel is very intimate and feels comfortable from the lobby to the breakfast area to the rooms. The lobby is great because they have complimentary drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) as well as snacks. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The all-inclusive nature really... More

Stayed at Banks last weekend and will return. Almost do not want to write a review in case this place gets so popular we will not get a room in the future. This place has got it right. Nice touch with complimentary drinks in lounge area along with nibbles. Also complimentary mini bar. Room was very good ( 210 )... More
