Beautiful, art deco, old hotel which has great updates. excellent location! cafe americain was excellent both inside and on the terrace.
We actually had two stays which we booked through you--may 2 and may 10-11. they didn't have our reservation for 5/2 and were rather rude and tried to charge 280 euros when we had already prepaid 210 euros on our credit card. fortunately i had a copy of my reservation confirmation and my credit card bill and they had a room--albeit not nearly as nice as the one we had the second stay. the second stay was lovely, except for the major hassle we had with transportation to the airport. their website says they have shuttle service to the airport, but it was really just the city shuttle--for which we bought round trip tickets upon arrival. the porter was a real pill about calling the shuttle and siad that the shuttle was unrealiable, traffic would be heavy, and there was no way we'd make it to the aiport unless he called a cab, which he conveniently had waiting around the corner and which presumably was giving the porter a kick-back. after much anxiety and aggrevation, the shuttle arrived a few minutes late (and the porter tried to send it away), there was no traffic, and we made it to the airport with much time to spare. this is not right! they should not advertise that they have a shuttle service if their porters are going to be so uncooperative and discouraging of peole using the city service.

The hotel is ideal as acentral base for an amsterdam holiday. we have been to that hotel five times now and would not go back there if we were not highly satisfied.
When we arrived there was no record of our booking, but the hotel was able to find us a room there. i don't know whether this was an oversight by the hotel or by easy to book, but whichever we were still highly pleased with our accomodation

Excellent location and beautiful dining room (but food not as good as the venue!) service was very good though
We had a poor rooom; i had asked for a room with separate beds when booking but we were allocated a room with a king bed and a replacement had to be found when we arrived. it had a very poor outlook (over a noisy building site). also, the room rate was too expensive in my view and the chnage of priice from night 1 to night 2 (150 to 250 euros) was very weird
