I have stayed at the Pulitzer quite a few times over the years. This last stay was for 10 nights. The hotel has an excellent location. It is on the Prisengracht canal and close to all the popular spots. There are tram lines, ATMs, grocery stores, delicious restaurants and wonderful shops just steps outside the door. It is also just a 10-15 min walk to Central Station.
The rooms are always immaculate and the beds are extremely comfortable. I always have had a good night sleep there. I love the waffle cookies and bottled water every day. Only once in all our stays did we get a room that we were not happy with but a trip to the desk quickly resolved that and we were moved into a much bigger and brighter room.
The service is excellent. Special kudos to Sajid (spelling?) who is one of the doormen. He was friendly, informative and very warm. The bar is a great place to end the day with a glass of wine and the restaurant is also very good. The service there was excellent.
My only complaint (minor one) is that for the price of the room, WiFi should be free. But I find this extra cost to be more common than not in most upscale European hotels. At the least, it should be less than the asking price.

Can'twait to go back. Spent a long weekend at this Beautiful, unique hotel that is in the perfect location! Looks like canal houses from the outside but high end hotel behind. Luxury rooms with beautiful views. Professional staff with high service level.

I stayed here for one night on business trip. Everything was fine about the hotel. Room was inward facing on 1st floor so no view or great light. Room was nice, good bathroom etc. Hotel is very central so easy to walk to centre. Breakfast was good. Service was efficient.

Internet access was approx. €25 per day which is crazy these days when you (my company) are paying over €200 for a room per night.

Overall the hotel was fine but I may try somewhere else next time in Amsterdam.

Charming, modern, tasteful, historical, pampered. These are the words I think of about my recent stay at the Pulitzer. When I return to Amsterdam, this will be my hotel of choice. It was one of my best Starwood hotel experiences, anywhere. While not all rooms may be renovated, the one I was given was recently remodeled. Modern bathroom, though small, modern conveniences, old world charm throughout. I had an executive room which includes breakfast, and they did a first rate breakfast buffet each day I was there. I did not have a canal view, and I didn't miss it at all - in fact, I enjoyed the quiet interior room. The restaurant for dinner was also fantastic - I recommend the traditional dishes for local flavor. This hotel is in a wonderful location a few minutes from a tram, five minutes walk from major sites, etc.

It's also worth noting that I'm usually not so impressed with the staff and concierge at Starwood hotels - in general, I feel that they need more training in "helpfulness". The staff at the Pulitzer should go train the other hotels. From finding a local service business to recommend restaurants and tourist sites, they were fantastic. Since the staff often makes or breaks a hotel experience, this is definitely one of their more important assets.
