We stayed at the Bellevue in March 07, Mon - Thurs. On arrival in Amsterdam we were greeted by snow and so pleased to see that the hotel was literally a 5 minute walk from Central Train Station. We arrived at 10am and so were too early to check in however the staff were very helpful and suggested we leave our luggage in the luggage room and register our details to making checking in easier later on.
The rooms were very modern with a flat screen tv and cable (useful as it snowed and hailed most of the time we were there so it was nice to be able to go back to the room to warm up and be able to watch a film!!). We had a wet room, with a very powerful shower which was great. The room was clean and the maid service was excellent. We were at the back of the hotel so had no problems with road noise. The only complaint my partner had was that there were no tea or coffee making facilites in the room, but considering the number of cafes surrounding the hotel it wasnt too much of a probem. I agree with some of the other reviews that the room was quite small - but it was not an issue for us and i certainly don't think it should deter anyone from picking this hotel.
We didnt have breakfast in the hotel, as we preferred to pick something up when we were out and about, but we did have a meal in the restaurant at night. It was very small and intimate, with a limited menu, however the food was lovely, and not too unreasonably priced, especially as there was a 20% discount voucher with the room. The staff were very attentive and helpful too (and the dessert was very very nice!).
I would definitely recommend this hotel, and would stay there again if I return to Amsterdam. For the money the location couldn't have been better, approx a 5-10 min walk to dam square, red light district etc. Also the lift and therefore access to the rooms can only be called using your room key, an excellent feature, as there are some strange people in Amsterdam!
