“On the fence”

I liked this hotel for various reasons warmly greeted and great service throughout our stay. However I'm not convinced for the size of hotel room and price per night its justified as a 5 star hotel

“Beautiful Stay in Amsterdam Sofitel the Grand hotel”

We visited Amsterdam for 2 days and stayed at Sofitel hotel. We had a wonderful stay in sofitel. The service was excellent. We enjoyed the gym and sauna and the beautiful inside pool that is free of charge. We enjoyed the tea and coffe that was in our room. They had the best coffee that I ever had. The only thing I did not like was that there were stairs in the room to go from the entrance to the room. Other than that it was top notch experience. Thank you Sofitel for a wonderful experience. True 5 star hotel.

Area recommendations
I would recommend the CAU restaurand. The food is extremely fresh and delicious.

“Great hotel”

This hotel is most probably one of the best. Staying a Saturday night is however noisy at night, even with the windows closed, considering the proximity to the Red Light district. Besides that, everything was perfect!

“One of Amsterdam's best”

A great hotel, with a great restaurant in a great location for all the key sights. Only weakness is its breakfast - which is either very expensive (in their main restaurant) or is reasonably priced but the seating in their lounge area is not the most comfortable way of having breakfast. The hotel also supplied us with a brilliant street map which had tram and bus details overlaid on top of the map - which we found incredibly useful (certainly better than our tourist guide book). AND not a hotel issue but take care with taxis from the railway station (Amsterdam Centraal) to the hotel - they can be very expensive! By contrast taxis from the hotel to Amsterdam Centraal are quite reasonable.

Area recommendations
All areas - but particularly the museum area where the Van Gough and Reichs Museums can be found.
When to go
Late April/very early May to catch the Kerkenhof tulip displays at their best.
Getting there
We flew with easyJet from Gatwick into Schiphol - then caught the train into Amsterdam Centraal. All so easy - with the trains leaving from below Schiphol Airport. Train fare is very reasonable and by going to one of the ticket offices - one can buy return tickets. For the return from Amsterdam Centraal do ask which platform - there are a large number of platforms and we left from 13A.
Getting around
The trams are just brilliant.
What to pack
Jeans and casual clothing PLUS a lightweight waterproof.
Must see
The Van Gough Museum.
Dining
We chose hotels for value for money, variety and space at table.
Outdoors or beach
Anyone who visits Amsterdam must do a canal cruise.
Other
Seriously consider buying Amsterdam's 'City Card'. You can buy them for 24, 48 or 72 hours and they give you free access to all the major museums and other sights, a canal cruise free transport on buses and trams plus a range of discounts at restaurants etc. If we had not had the Card, we would have spent more than twice what the card cost us.

“Excellent hotel.......but”

Had a fantastic stay at the Grand Sofitel in Amsterdam. Only criticism was we were on first floor and were woken every morning at 6am with noise from staff and vehicles - can only assume we must have been right beside a works entrance!

Dam Square - Central Station, Amsterdam, Netherlands: The bustling heart of Amsterdam, this district attracts hordes of visitors teeming from Centraal Station to Dam Square and its beautiful Nieuwe Kerk (14th-century). The oldest part of town, Oude Zijde, is famous for its Red Light District, but the University and the docks bring a different kind of colour and buzz to the narrow streets. Don’t miss the Oude Kerk, the Amstelkring Museum or the paintings in the Amsterdams Historisch Museum.
