Hotel Okura Amsterdam – the Leading Hotels of the World

Amsterdam Oud Zuid Amsterdam|1.7km from Chess museum
We decided to splurge on this 5 star hotel for a long anticipated family reunion. Unfortunately the experience was marred by a series of disappointments caused by utterly incompetent hotel staff. When I called ahead on the day of our arrival to request an early check-in the hotel rep. sternly informed me that I would have to pay a 120 Euro charge for the privilege! We are experienced travelers and never have we encountered such a demand. We took our chances regardless and decided to show up 2 hours early. Sure enough, our room was already ready and we were allowed to occupy it at no extra charge. Things really started to go south when a limousine that I had arranged for separate airport pickup of my daughter’s family through the concierge showed up at the airport unequipped with a baby car seat. I had expressly requested this when I booked the service. This was also specified in the booking confirmation sent by email to me by the concierge. The reaction I later got when I complained to the concierge was that I was not charged extra for the baby seat - as if this was the main issue! Furthermore, this was the first time that I was informed of such a charge, as no mention of this had been made in the email confirmation of the limo reservation which I originally received from the concierge. More importantly, what is more concerning is the utter indifference he showed for the safety of a guest’s infant grandchild. All that concerned him was the money angle to the failure. Things soon got worse. When we checked into our room we lifted the bed cover to discover several hairs and multiple red and yellow stains. Unbelievably, the chambermaid had neglected to change the bedsheets. This, in a 5 star hotel! After we called reception, staff was quickly sent to our room to change them. We never heard further from management about this. We later had dinner at Serre restaurant onsite and left the place hungry. The chef seems to focus on presentation and less on the reasonableness of the portions. My wife had a fish main course which was equivalent to 3 forkfuls. The minuscule dessert was pretty to look at but was grossly inadequate even for one person. The restaurant style is a throwback to the old Nouvelle Cuisine school. For the icing on the cake: a voucher for a round of drinks on the house at the rooftop bar that the guest services manager had kindly given me was bungled by the bar staff. When I arrived home I discovered a mysterious charge of 66 Euros by the Twenty-Third Floor Bar. The bar staff set new standards of incompetence in taking my voucher and charging me anyway.I had to call the hotel for credit but I am losing money anyway from the spread in exchange rates used by credit card companies. To be fair, the Superior View room was extremely spacious and comfortable with a magnificent view. The large pool and ample spa facilities were enjoyable and a significant convenience . Also the reception desk personnel were very professional and welco

Hotel 717
4.5/570 Reviews
Hotel 717 lives up to its buzz and in fact, exceeded our expectations. From start to finish our stay was delightful. We were greeted warmly at the front doorstep and treated to a welcome cocktail after checking in. The property is beautiful! Expertly curated with whimsical, decorative details throughout. Our room was spacious, and the bed + bedding were sublime. Staff was exceptionally kind, with extra special praise earned by Camilla and Wolf who went above and beyond for us! It was quite difficult to leave Hotel 717, although the send-off tin of cookies eased our sadness and heightened our hopes to return asap. Thank you, Hotel 717! We are grateful for you all!
Dikker & Thijs Hotel
4.1/5106 Reviews
Very good location, steps away from the tram lines 2 and 12. Centrally located between central station, Anne Frank and museum area. Many shops and restaurants in easy walking distance. Very quiet as we always ask for a room facing the rear. Rooms modest but typical for large cities. Continental breakfast available. We prefer a firmer, larger bed but with jet lag, we were fine for two nights.
Park Centraal Amsterdam, part of Sircle Collection

Amsterdam Oud Zuid
A weekend in Amsterdam saw us booked for 3 nights at the Centraal. Excellent checkin experience with a choice of canal view or park. They did warn that canal view overlooks the road and they werent wrong! Ear plugs fixed that up. Good selection at breakfast buffet although breakfast starts at 7am and when we left for an early flight at 7.15, the chef hadn't come so couldn't get some items (that said, there were more than enough options from the buffet and the wait staff offered to wrap sandwiches for others that had early tours). Good location - across.from the Hard Rock Cafe which made it easy to get your bearings. Faces the Blue Line canal cruise office which is also highly recommended.

Leonardo Boutique Museumhotel
4.3/560 Reviews
Amsterdam Oud Zuid
We had booked a Cosy room and that’s what we got, not very big but big enough for our needs. The room was also very clean and beautifully decorated. We were able to check in to our room early and we had a room on the second floor facing the Rijksmuseum. This meant we were also facing the construction site. This was a worry at first but realistically they didn’t start work until after 10am and we were awake by this point anyway. The hotel is in the Museum district so is close to many great museums, it is also a short walk from Vondelpark which is beautiful and a great place to ride a rental bike. It is on the top edge of Central Amsterdam and everything is within walking distance including many cafes and restaurants.. The hotel staff were all friendly and a nice cleaner helped us to work the aircon. I would definitely stay in this hotel again if I find myself back in the beautiful city of Amsterdam. Also, for anyone that is curious the tap water is lovely. We filled out bottles every day before venturing out.
Hotel Vossius Vondelpark
3.6/5110 Reviews
Amsterdam Oud Zuid
Stayed here for 2 nights. The location is great. Close to Vondelpark and 2 minute walk from the square. The girl who checked us in was really friendly and helpful. We stayed in the annex which is at the back of the hotel. The room was small but that’s expected in Amsterdam. It had what we needed and we had a comfortable stay. It was quiet at night and we slept well.
