Overall very good . enjoyed the stay. very novel shower experience.
Tea /coffee making facility should be included with the price and should be available in the room on arrival. help with bags up the stairs would have been very welcoming.

It was clean. i would strongly recommend both restaurants either side of the hotel.
We arrived late (10.45pm) due to a flight cancellation and the hotel closes at 9pm. we spent 1.5 hours trying to contact the hotel staff / waiting for other guests to let us in, but at 12am we had to find an alternative hotel on a friday night. the nights we did stay were good, but i would not stay at this hotel again for the inconvenience caused.

Great area and easy to get to - instructions to get there very good
The only bad thing was the almost vertical stairs to get to the reception and bedrooms

The hotel has a very central location. the hotel informed us very well by email before arrival.
Not the most smiling and kindly staff. you got the feeling that you where disturbing the staff.

The staff at this hotel are very friendly and helpful. they have an innovative and user friendly door entry system where you flash your keycard at a picture next to your door. the room was very clean as was bathroom. the location just off the rembrandtplein is better than anywhere else in amsterdam to act as a base for exploring. shops, trams, everything within easy walking distance.
At times i felt like i was intruding on a family home, but that's becasue it's a family run hotel and they live in it, so not really a negative comment!

The room was beautifully decorated, very clean and cosy. excellent location in the city center near bars and restaurants.
Thin walls, could hear other guests, our room was facing the square and it was noisy during the weekend.

The room was clean and cosy - the bed was very comfortable. the bathroom was also clean and the jacuzzi shower went down a treat. the breakfast was a simple continental breakfast and was very tasty, (meat, cheese, cereals, toast, jams/honey, tea & coffee, fruit ...) it set me up for the day. the staff were friendly and informative and the hotel was in a good location, within walking distance to dam square, the museums & my favourite, the flower market. very close to the tram stop - which is ideal if you don't want to drag luggage halfway across amsterdam. i would highly recommend this hotel . thanks for a comfortable stay.
It's not the fault of the imperial hotel but it is in a busy square and i am sure that if you was to get a room at the front of the hotel, you would hear the hussle and bussle of the street below. i wouldn't recommend this hotel to people with walking difficulties as the stairs are extremely steep and it was hard work dragging a heavy suitcase to the top floor! other than that everything was great. i had a really nice time.
