Good location, but our so called luxury room was a converted meeting room with a bed that dropped from a cupboard. The bathroom was too small and it was virtually impossible to get into the shower as you had to jump the toilet. The worst thing was housekeeping banging incessantly on our door at 8.30am on Sunday morning wanting to clean. The room smelled of cigarette smoke as the airconditioning was poor. I raised all these matters with the desk but didn't get the promised response on the day or subsequently.

Hotel is well situated. Receptionist and concierge very professional.

Room clean and no complaints other than there is insufficient lighting in the entrance to the room, difficult to see into wardrobe or the full length mirror.

The room was really quiet. Cocktails at 10 euros each are not cheap, but they were some of the best cocktails we've tasted. Trams 1,2 & 5 are right outside the door and take you to and from Centraal station.You can also do the canal trip right outside the door.

On arrival at The American they could not find our reservation. We were joining friends who were already checked in and after being told they had lost our booking and the hotel was full we were not very happy. We were booked out to the Park Hotel for the night and promised an upgrade for the following night in the American.
True to their word next day we were upgraded to an executive room with balcony overlokking the canal and given a gift by the General Manager.
Room was excellent and the view superb.
The best bit about the hotel is the American Bar. On a warm spring day there is nowhere better to sit outside with a drink and watch the world go by.
The location could not be better being roght on Leidesplien and surrounded by bars & restarants.

My husband and myself enjoyed a 3 night stay at the American Hotel to celebrate our 1st Wedding Anniversary. I can't fault the hotel, service and city itself. We had a really fabulous time.

Our room was huge, spotlessly clean and although we didn't dive into the mini bar it was still nice to have. We did not hear ANY noise in the room and the beds were extremely comfortable.

We enjoyed several drinks at the Cafe Americain and Bar Americain and the service was wonderful. We ate only once in the restaurant and that was for breakfast. The hot and cold buffet was perfectly acceptable and the surroundings in the dining room are beautiful. We did eat in the Pancake Corner, liteally around the corner, which was a cheap and delicious alternative to paying 19.95 euros each.

We had some lovely meals out and about and found the locals very helpful. The transport links from the airport to the hotel are cheap, regular and easy to follow.

Altogethr a great time and I will definately be returning to the American Hotel.
