We stayed at the Golden Tulip in Amsterdam for one night in January of 2008. The occasion was a long lay-over (21 hours) which allowed us to check our bags through to the States, take the train into Amsterdam, cruise the canals, eat a fine dinner at a little restaurant on the Damrok, “De Compagnon,” and spend the night at the Golden Tulip. The Tulip is a deceptively small hotel. Once we passed through the small entry, it seemed to go on forever. The hotel is extremely modern and comfortable, and I enjoyed lounging at the bar next to a fireplace. As we were leaving the following morning, we did have a somewhat unpleasant experience with the hotel management. Our bill showed a charge for “pay television” which we had not used, although we did enter our room number on the room’s television screen in an attempt to discover what movies were available. The television indicated a “free half-hour trial” or some such enticement, but little did we know that entering the room number caused an automatic and irrevocable charge. Unfortunately, at check out time, the hotel staff made me feel uncomfortable, as if I were trying to get away with something, when I asked them to reverse that charge. Their claim that they were unable to credit us for the amount, because the company responsible for the pay television service simply charged them as soon as a room number was entered, seemed somewhat spurious to me. In the interest of good-will, if nothing else, they should have adjusted this charge.

Breakfast was not included in our hotel bill of 189 dollars, and was a hefty 16.5 euros each. That said, it was a great breakfast, as it should have been!

I don’t know if I’ll stay at the Golden Tulip again, given the attitude of the staff at check-out. That kind of an incident has a way of spoiling all the good feelings we had about the hotel up to then.

Perfectly situated near Central Station and other attractions.

Hotel is expensive but then again in Amsterdam you do get what you pay for !!!

Rooms are air conditioned, clean and have a well appointed mini bar - check the prices before you try the goods.

Staff are polite and helpful.

Just back from a 3 day stay at the Golden Tulip Inntel.We walked to the hotel from central station which only took about 5 mins.Our room was ready and that was fantastic as it was only 10am.Beautiful big clean room with everything you need in toiletries even shoeshine.The heating is ajustable and so is the air con.The breakfast was outstanding and catered for all tastes and if you fancy champagne for breakfast why not its there chilling.The bar is small but so cosy with a big log fire in the centre and comfortable sofas. The staff are so polite and helpful and always have a smile to share.Next door to hotel is Humphreys Restaurant. The food was out of this world and so much of it.very reasonable.Everything is within walking distance and very easy to find from hotel.Loved everything about this hotel and would highly reccomend it.

We stayed here about 3 nights and were ok with it, but had some problems here and there.
Overall, its close to everything, has some cool businesses around it. The rooms were small but with most the basics. However, they weren't clean. We found hair all over the inside of the beds, urine in the toilet, and filthy, very filthy, bed spreads. When I found a maid in the hall to tell her, she just gave me some clean bedspreads. SO my friend and I were reduced to making out own beds after spending $200, not cool.
Another problem was when we called to ask for some clean towels, 3 times and not getting any delivered. After the 4th call, they finally came.
So its ok if theres nowhere else to stay, but I doubt we'll be going back on our next visit
