Grand Hotel Amrath Amsterdam - Amsterdam 52.37492, 4.90389

Fascinating how they have converted this old building, it was done very well, keeping the feel of history. Room was luxurious, well stocked with complimentary bar and coffee facilities. Oddly the bed faced the window and the tv was on the side so hard for us both to wtach. Beautiful bathroom, would have been perfect but teh shower drain smelt. It was quickley rectified by cleaners. Spa was really lovely, nice and reasonable introductory massage offer. They messed up the bookings so one of us had to wait ages and you can't go nude in the sauna or spa, but otherwise just what we needed. Supper in the bar was very nice. Afternoon drinks disappointing, no tea pot, just a small cup they refused to refill with hot water, very tight for a top quality hotel. No scones! Staff polite and efficient but never smiled and we felt rushed through at breakfast despite the delicious spread we wanted to browse.Overall a very good hotel and we would stay again, but some small details need to be improved first otherwise we won't take advantage of their services and always eat / drink out.

The Amrath hotel was the best hotel we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed n a lot of hotels. I would recommend it to anyone! Although it is a bit pricey, we got it for a bargain price, and upon our arrival, were upgraded to a superior room- WOW! Electric curtains which opened at the push of a remote, big high ceilings, bathroom bigger than ours at home with the deepest bath ever and shower cubicle (with 2 shower heads!). Big comfy dressing gowns and slippers are also provided for your convenience, as well as a massive umbrella for the showers Amsterdam are prone to. And best of all- a FREE minibar, which is topped up daily! not to mention a FREE coffee machine with different types of coffee! The staff are really friendly go out of their way to talk to you and help any way they can. The wellness centre downstairs is also free of charge. In there, you will find a fully equiped gym, beautiful tranquil swimming pool, 3 saunas and a steam room. 10/10 for everything, I can't rate it enough. We will definitely be staying here next time we visit Amsterdam.

fantastic staff hotel and spa the conceirge went out of there way more than once

We had and amazing weekend in Amsterdam and part of it was due to the luxurious hotel. The room was very spacious, well equipped with flat screen TV, coffee maker that actually produced great tasting coffee, free minibar generously filled up with different drinks. The king-size bed was extremely comfortable so as the bathroom with luxurious toiletries. Everything was super clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is also great, only a few minutes away from the station and close to the center. There was only one disappointment - the view. We did not ask for a city view (you may for an extra charge) and therefore could not complain. However, this did not spoil our experience and I would definitely recommend the hotel to those who want luxury for a reasonable price. To add, we also dined in the restaurant and the food was delicious! Should I return to Amsterdam in the future I will definitely go back to Amrath.

This was the second time we have stayed at the Grand Amrath. The hotel has only been open for 2 years and this time the SPA was also open which was great - just be careful of the jet stream button in the pool - you have been warned! We didn't eat in the hotel, the restaurant is highly rated but always seems a little empty and short on atmosphere. The bar is pleasant and the Irish coffee's have to be the best in town - when they have fresh cream available that is - they did run out one night. Breakfast is very expensive at ?25pp pn so we didn't try that either. There are loads of Cafe's nearby so it's not a problem. What we really like about the hotel is the quality of the rooms, with very high ceillings, wonderful beds and superb bathrooms. The in-room espresso machine, free mini bar with toblerone and widescreen tv also go some way to making your stay more comfortable. It's in a great location too, a pleasant 5 mins walk to the very centre of Amsterdam. You could do a lot worse than book this hotel - I know from experience, which is why this is where I'll stay every time.

We were welcomed by staff and made to feel special. The room and hotel lived up to billing.

Stayed at the Amrath for a long weekend in Amsterdam. Couldn't ask for a better location - 10/15 minute walk to the station & a few minutes walk to the centre of town. Hotel itself is a lovely old building, beautifully modernised with lots of the original features retained & the staff are very helpful & friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely stunning hotel, five min walk from centraal station and near to everything. All staff were curtious and helpful. The rooms were beautiful and the beds to die for. The free mini bar was fantastic too. The spa area is kept beautifully, i recommend an early morning swim where you'll have it all to yourself! Only down side was the city tax which thay add on at the end roughly 8 euro's per day. Bit of a sting in the tail when you check out.

I came upon this hotel by chance. It was beautiful, the service was great and the spa lovely. Can't say a bad thing about it. We had a great 3 days stay here.

Our much anticipated stay celebrating a special birthday and revisting a building important in our youth did not disappoint. Scheepvaarthuis' splendid architecture, comfortable room and great view made this visit to A'dam memorable even if the wireless internet connection was not up to scratch and the restaurant nearly empty every night. Would not hesitate to book again!

The Grant Hotel Amrath is a really nice hotel; the room was nice and quite comfortable. Also I had the pleasure to relax myself in the swim pool on the ground floor. The personnel are very helpful.

No internet...this hotel advertised wifi internet. In the two days I was there...I could not connect any where in the hotel despite getting excellent signals from river boats and other wifi routers nearby. The reception promised help in my room...I'm still waiting for the porter.

It's not often you get the chance to stay in a converted Art Deco building, and the Amrath was certainly a 5 star hotel as well. The pool was outstanding and great after a day's sight-seeing.

Lovely hotel near the central station. Rooms are very nicely decorated with lovely high ceilings and large windows. Food in restaurant is very tasty.

I've been to Amsterdam 3 times previously and this hotel is by far the best one yet. The hotel is in an excellent spot only 5 minutes from Central Station and within walking distance from most attractions. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The rooms are nicely decorated and very roomy and the beds are really comfortable. It's far enough away from the noise and mayhem of Amsterdam to get at least a few hours sleep! I found the price very reasonable for a 5* hotel and will definitely stay there again.

If you're looking for a comfortable hotel in Amsterdam then look no further. We opted for the larger room with city view, which was spacious and very comfortable. The room was spotless with a great shower, 32" flat screen tv, sumptuous king size bed and free wireless internet. The complimentary mini bar was a nice touch too! Located quite close to Centraal Station and the centre of Amsterdam but far enough away to be relaxing. Highly recommended.

Possibly Amsterdam's best hotel. 5 star service and comfort and just a short walk from central station. We had a beautiful view over the canal and made full use of the free mini-bar. Pool and spa facilities are excellent.

Had a good experience of this hotel. Room was upgraded because swimming pool was closed becasue of a leak. (Don't know for how long) We had no intention of using the pool so this was not a problem for us. Room was good size, shower fab, bed extremely comfortable, free mini bar with wines, spirits, beer, water and soft drinks. Staff were friendly and very helpfully opened a bottle of sparkly that we had brought in ourselves. You can see Central Station from the hotel - it only took 6 or 7 mins to walk there. So easy to get to from the airport, just use the train from Schipol - only 4 ish euros each. Check in could be slow if there were a few people arriving at the same time as there is only a tiny check in desk with 2 people working it, but it was fine when we were there. Didn't eat or drink in the hotel, so can't comment on that, but with the centre of Amsterdam just 10 mins away we didn't want to stay in the hotel. Cost of hotel was a bit pricey, but for a special occasion it was worth it and I would definately go back.

The Hotel Amrath is definately one of the very best places I have stayed in Europe... certainly the best in Amsterdam. The location is perfect, the hotel excellent, the staff helpful and polite. Truly a joy to stay in. This is not a hotel to stay for a Boys Weekend, unless you are with a sensible crowd, or unless you take full advantage of the excellent spa facilities. This is accommodation to be fully enjoyed. An experience. I will definately stay in this hotel again. Can't wait to take my Wife. I know that she will not experience the cosmopolitan life of Amsterdam in a better way than this. Wow!

Really special building architecturally and design-wise. All done isndie and out in "Amsterdam School", a mix of nouveau and deco. Comfortable room, great bed, nice towels, etc. Great breakfast buffet. Nice service. Room service menu is limited and room service quality was disappointing. Gym was minimal.

Really great hotel, with friendly helpful staff.

Absolute first class hotel - wonderful bedroom and great location. Just a 5 minute walk to Central Train Station and a wide selection of great pubs and restaurants.

This hotel was booked three months before staying,yet when we checked in nothing was mentioned that my sister and I had to share a double bed,when a twin room was booked and confirmed.The answer I had from reception was 'That this my preference of room, yet we cannot guarantee it? ' Never in all my travels have I heard this from a five star hotel. The first night I had to have a put you up and the next day we were moved to a room with a king size bed that seperated, yet the staff were too lazy to do this for us. We were told that the room was ready, yet I had to inform them that the minibar had not been re-stocked, there was no letter paper and one sachet of milk and two sugars. I had asked the duty manager to contact me which he did not or even send me a note for our inconvieniance. I am sending a letter to the President of this group and will let you know of the review. Also for two days, no water or fresh towels were available in the Health suite and quite a few guests had to ring for them. Not the 5 star I expect.

Super nice hotel right near the red light district and station. Good views of the city, really cool sauna and steam room with litle ceiling lights. Food is pretty good too but a bit pricey. Beds are massive and really comfy the pillows are really different. Would go again

This hotel is one of the best I have stayed in. The quality of service by the staff was superb, always willing to help and offer advice. The room, restaurant and bar were superb and the location is perfect for exploring the sites of Amsterdam, all within easy walking distance.

This is a fantastic hotel. The building is impressive and the restoration of the old shipping house has been very sympathetic to the building's old use. Just look at the beautiful glass ceiling or at the old elevator! I stayed for three days with my partner. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The room was spotless and beautifully decorated. The wellness centre is very relaxing. Room service is excellent. The hotel is very close to the city centre and to the train station. I cannot fault the hotel and I will definitely go back.

Hotel a timepiece! Restored sympathetically with appreciation of its uniqueness - was the headquarters of a shipping company and has been designed to feel like being on a liner! We loved it! Room stylish and comfortable if a little warm. Problem in all hotel rooms! Bathroom well designed and lit. Bed comfortable and we liked the light switches fitted into bedstead - very user friendly! Also appreciated were the mini bar arrangements (free), coffee machine and toiletries. All good quality. All in all a great stay which we would be happy to repeat.

I do not think this hotel rates as a five star. The hotel was clean and friendly, but the room was too small. the wardrobe door could not be opened fully and so was unable to use. Also did not like the glass door on the bathroom, as it was directly off the bedroom and therefore putting the light on disturbs partner. Also there was no hot water for the bath, but the shower was hot and powerful. Hotel ran out of creamer for the tea/coffee, but complimentry mini bar was good

Although it was a busy day (New Year's Eve), the staff was excellent as far as quality of service. The hotel room was in excellent conditions. The bed was remarkable to sleep in. I fantasize about sleeping as comfortably again. The location is excellent to nearby Dam Square/shopping/sight seeing/eating. Highly recommend staying here.

i spent 3 nights at the amrath in amsterdam with my daughter the hotel is located well and the room was very big with the most wonderful beds i've slept in the hotel has a magnificent underground spa highly recommend the hotel to you

Honestly, one of the best hotels I stayed in. Staff was very friendly and responsive. Will go back to this hotel when going back to the Dam.

I booked this hotel on a promotion (fourth night was free) and when the nightly rates were at their seasonal low. Even so the room rate was still costly even by Amsterdam standards. This added expense was worth it however. The minibar is wonderful and was replenished daily. The hotel services were quite distinguished, and appear to have improved greatly since the hotel originally opened. As others have noted, the beds are incredibly comfortable and the building is a classic structure.

This was so wonderful. We were on our honeymoon and couldn't have expected a more relaxed, romantic atmosphere. The room had huge windows about 20 feet high or more. You have to stay at this hotel. We are going back in 2 years and hope to stay in our same room.

Just returned from 3 weeks in Europe with the final 3 days at the Amrath. This charming hotel was the perfect finish to the holiday. The Amrath is well situated close to the Train Station - a short stroll actually. It's proximity to the must see areas are perfect - less than 10 minutes to the Red Light and a further 5 minutes to the main shopping street. But, far enough away to lose the noise and crowds. The facilities are befitting a 5 star as is the service. The staff and friendly and genuine. Always a smiling face when you came through the doors. For a fabulous meal you must go to "Looks". This upscale restaurant is just 5 minutes from the hotel across one bridge. Ask at the front desk for directions. They can also book a reservation for you. The meal was the best we had in Europe. The owner, Alco, is simply charming. It is very comfortable and welcomes even the casually dressed. The Amrath is the only hotel I would stay at in Amsterdam!

I have stayed in nice hotels all over the United States, and when travelling overseas I do not expect the star rating to be comparable. A five-star hotel overseas has often been comparable to a three-star in the United States. That was very much not the case here. This is an excellent hotel with large, clean rooms, comfortable beds, big tubs and helpful staff. The complimentary mini bar is just that -- complimentary, and we had no problems getting ours refilled daily. Cleaning staff stopped by the room multiple times a day. The hotel is convenient to the Central Station and to the Red Light District. I could not have been happier with this hotel.

We stayed two nights in mid-October. This place is amazing in every respect. Proximity to Central Station makes arrival and departure a breeze. The beds are remarkably comfortable, a common theme I notice in previous reviews. The inclusive mini bar was extremely welcome. The Nespresso machine in the room sold me on the concept .. I now own the same machine at home. The city view we were lucky enough to be allocated is pretty by day or night. My favourite hotel ever.

Small room, small window, very dark room, lots of noises from the hallway early in the morning. Free minibar. Very good bed and linens. Not a 5 star hotel.

I have stayed at this hotel 3 times now and it's really good all around. The Staff is very nice, the rooms are great and the location is perfect. Easy to Central Station and the center of town

POOR LOBBY, NO SERVICE LUGGAGE, POOR RECEPTION AND CONCIERGE: NEEDS MORE PEOPLE ANSD SOMEBODY WHEN YOU ARRIVE WITH LUGGAGE.

The fiance and I had a delightful time here. The service, room and amenities were incredible! Will absolutely stay here again next time.

This building is by far the nicest hotel I have every stayed in and I have been all over the world. Great building!

I really liked this hotel. The staff were outstanding and very accomodating. We didn't like the location of our original room, so we were moved to an another location within the hotel that was just perfect. The amenities are wonderful, the spa, steam room, pool and sauna added immensely to our stay. We ate at the resturant and the food was wonderful. We expected to pay more for our meal due to the fact we ate in the hotel, but it wasn't no more expensive than going to a really nice resturant and the service was excellent. The hotel is within walking distance from the train station and all the tourist attractions including the red light district, the resturants, Dam Square, the water tour boats, shopping, everything. We intend on returning to Amsterdam and we will definately stay at the Amrath again. We are thinking that we will make this hotel our special place when we visit Amsterdam again.

Free minibar, comfortable sleeping and great location.

Asked for assistance in planning our day almost everyday and were always pleased with the info we received. Room was large and comfortable with a great view. Everything was cleaned and restocked promptly each day. The free mini bar was amazing and thoroughly used. The bed was downright hard to get out of in the mornings because it was so comfortable. Favorite hotel ever in my favorite city ever!

We stayed two nights at this hotel and it was awesome! The rooms were very very clean and the bathroom was huge! I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel to anyone going to Amsterdam!!!

This hotel should be a 4 star not a 5 star.

This hotel is 2 blocks from the red light district. The restaraunts in that area are wonderful. The rooms are beautiful and large. The service was good, the pool and spa area are beautiful. The food in the bar was excellent. I would recommend this hotel if you want to be close to the red light district, which is a fun place to walk thru especially at night :-)
