If you really want to be in the center of Amsterdam, this is the place to stay, the service is very warm, excellent in my opinion. The views are ok, you can see the canals but that's it, it's not the countryside as you can imagine. I stayed with my wife and my 6-month-old baby, they were really nice to him. The breakfasts are delicious.

Stayed 4 nights in the hotel. Beautiful property that is well kept, clean, pleasant, and historical. Importantly, the staff was also amazing and attentive. Raul was great - checked us in warmly with a big smile and took care of us throughout the trip. Concierge team led by Niels was also very knowledgeable and helped book everything we needed. Cannot wait to come back.

They should charge the tax when you pay for the room, 124 euros for 4 nights ?????nWe didnu2019t know about all the taxes, was a surprise when checking out!nnThe good: location, breakfast, friendly and helpful staffnnThe bad:n- the rooms are so bad decorated it hurt my eyes to see the velvet red wallpaper with the lime green furniture and lamps!! Expected something more clean looking to relax.n- they had a big pride event and it was too loud!!n- really small rooms, we booked one with canal view and it was very small for the price we paid. Weird bathroom layout.nnOverall itu2019s not a 5 star hotel IMO, but then again sofitel has been very disappointing this far!!

Quintessentially Dutch hotel in the heart of the city. The building itself is part of the cityu2019s history and the location canu2019t get better.nnOur luxury room has a wonderful canal view and a spacious bathroom. The mattress and pillows were in top quality. Hairdryer powerful and not too heavy to hold. I am not a huge fan of Hermes toiletry though.nnBreakfast was great. The buffet offered a wonderful selection of local and international flavors. The presentation was beautiful.nnThe staff was very friendly. The front house was great, but Will at the breakfast was particularly outstanding. He was very genuine, and always there to help.

Great location in the heart of Amsterdam housed in a historic building. Exceeded my expectations across the board. We had a suite facing the canal that was spacious and nicely furnished. Housekeeping kept it immaculate. The staff at the front desk couldnu2019t have been more accommodating. The breakfast buffet was well stocked and the ambiance in the restaurant (indoor, garden room or courtyard) suits all tastes. It was my first time at this venue but certainly will not be my last. Only item that I thought needs improvement is their room service dining menu which has limited selections.

Beautiful well appointed 5-star hotel in a historically important building. Centrally located near several attractions, tram and bus lines. Service is incomparable. Two restaurants on site, one formal, one casual. Excellent breakfast buffet included in room rate

Location is fairly situated in walking distance to many places. Our room was modern clean and so comfortable. We had been up for over 30 hours and for an insomniac, the bed was heaven. Slept for almost 12 hours. Best sleep I have had in many a night. Staff were all pleasant and helpful. All staff we interacted with all had a good sense of humor. Loved chatting with them. Wish I could have gotten the recipe for the herbal water. Excellent and refreshing. Hope to return for a longer stay.

We had a wonderful stay. The property is very well located, but still quiet. The staff could not have been more friendly & accommodating. The room was very clean & the bed one of the best I've slept in. My husband & I were both celebrating birthdays a few days after our stay concluded, but at check the dates were noticed on our passports. We received a lovely birthday surprise to our room. That's above & beyond. That's exceptional hospitality. We would definitely stay here again & I will recommend you to all my Amsterdam travel clients.

Celebrated my 50th birthday while staying here. The attention to detail and personable service made me feel so very special even during an unprecedented time. Highly recommend butler service. First time experience. The spa removed 2 years of stress from my mind & body. Dining was unmatched by the finest restaurants in Amsterdam. I'm a raving fan of this hotel. Can't wait to return. It felt like a welcoming home.
