We very delighted with our stay at the Banks. The location was excellent for seeing the city on foot or by transit. I requested a quiet room with a tub and stall shower and got just what I wanted. While the window was small with no view the room was silent at night. The room itself was comfortable with the... More

Fab fab fab, arrived early in the morning to be welcomed by very friendly staff, who were only to happy to accept our bags and offered us refreshments. Hotel was very clean and the location was perfect, right in the middle of things. The room was as expected, bed very comfortable, bathroom very good with a superior shower with steam... More

This is a wonderful hotel. I've never stayed at an 'all-inclusive' hotel before, but I'll definitely consider it in the future. The nightly room rate seems kinda expensive at first, but with everything included I think it ended up being a good deal. First - the hotel is well located. It's halfway between the oldest part of town (around the... More

The hotel is well-located and convenient for everything. All the staff were very helpful and charming and lots of goodies were included such as free drinks (in the lounge and rooms), WiFi, computer and iPad access, really excellent cooked and continental breakfast; teas/coffees snacks and a pate/cheeseboard later in the day. Overall our bedroom was very good - Nespresso coffee... More

This hotel has a lot of amenities to offer. If you’re going to stay here (and pay handsomely to do so), make sure you take advantage of them. The rooms reminded me a lot of a cruise ship cabin: Very small, yet very clean and modern. We had what I would call a partial canal-view room on the fourth floor,... More

I have just returned from a weekend away in Amsterdam celebrating a friend's *0th! birthday. The Banks Mansion had been booked in February, some 12 weeks in advance of our trip. We had requested two twin rooms as close together as possible. We were delighted by the reception we received but not quite so delighted when we realised we had... More

The Banks Mansion is a very nice property, but it felt a bit pricier than was justified. On the other hand, if you like a cocktail--or several--before heading out for the evening, then it may be an excellent value. The rooms are nice, the setting is good, but what was unusual was the liquor in the room (3 separate decanters)... More

I wish we had ended our vacation in Amsterdam and this wonderful hotel, because it spoiled us for our later stay in Bruges and Paris! The all-inclusive price includes a fabulous more-than-continental breakfast, free wi-fi, free mini-bar, free liquor in your room, free wine, liquor, beer and soft drinks 24/7 in the lobby, and free afternoon hor d'oeuvres, The service...

My husband and I stayed here in April 2012 and we loved it. The room was nice and clean. We stayed in a room with a balcony overlooking the canal. The view was great and the noise level was great too. Sometimes, when you stay in a room overlooking the canal, the noise from the street can get annoying, however,... More
