Just got back from a long weekend at the Roode Leeuw in Amsterdam to celebrate my boyfriend's 40th birthday. Got a really good deal inlcuding breakfast and I sent the hotel an email asking for a nice quiet, non smoking room, preferably with a nice view as it was for my boyfriend's 40th and they went further than that and upgraded us to a junior suite which was fantastic. We had a balcony that overlooked Damrak and we could even see quite a bit of Dam Square as well. Everything looked very festive and the room was huge!

This was the start of a fabulous weekend in Amsterdam and we loved every minute of it which was helped by the fact we had such a good base to work from. All the staff were very friendly, the hotel was spotless. Probably the only downside was the breakfast. Luckily it was included in the deal we got otherwise I would not have been happy. It's literally your standard continental breakfast with a couple of hot things, I don't think it is worth the 16 euro they charge for it. On the 2nd day we didn't even bother (even though it was included!) and we ended up going down the road for something decent to eat to set us up for the day!

All in all a fab trip to Amsterdam, usual places a must like red light district (not as sleazy as you think, it actually looks quite pretty at night!). Liedesplein very pretty at this time of year and they even have a mini ice skating rink at the moment.

If we ever ended up going back to Amsterdam then we would definitely go back to the Roode Leeuw (although I think we may have been spoilt with the upgrade to junior suite!).

booked through lastminute.com on their top secret 4* offer. Definately not given a 4* single room. very small and shower was tiny, old fashioned and either scalding hot or freezing cold. Reception very reluctant to upgrade me, but did in the end to a room which was more in keeping with 4star status.

Would NOT book top secret offer again or this hotel. Definately central. Def clean.

This hotel in a fantastic location very close to the main square on the main street and in easy walking distance to most places. All staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. We received a room upgrade as we were travelling on our honeymoon and the suite we were in was just amazing. We found the breakfast buffet really good and the few other meals we had in the restaurant were great as well.

We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Amsterdam.

I stayed here for 7 nights on a business trip and I have to say this hotel made an otherwise awful trip a more bearable one! Like some people have said, the rooms are small but ideal for one person. They are very clean and serviced everyday. I made good use of my room whilst staying here, the room enabled me to have some ‘me’ time during a very long tradeshow in the city. (the shower was amazing!) The room had a very well stocked mini bar and a room service menu which again I made good use of. The food arrived with 15 minutes and it was lovely! The food in the restaurant of the hotel was again really lovely and quite reasonably priced. I heard a few people in my party complain about the breakfast, powdery scrambled eggs, no fried eggs etc. I however thought the breakfast was great, selection of hot and cold to suit everyone. Lastly I have to say the staff where brilliant, very friendly and willing to do anything.

Location wise, it doesn’t get any better than this, it’s located right on the edge of Dam Square, there’s a tram stop literally outside the hotel and all the bars and restaurants you could ever wish for!

All in all, I thought the hotel was brilliant and will go back there for a personal trip sometime next year.

  • Liked — Room service, well stocked mini bar, great shower, comfortable beds
  • Disliked — The fact that I was there for work!
