    “Amstel Hotel has been continuously run as a Hotel for 150 and has hosted many celebrities. True old world charm with beautiful lobby, wood paneled elevator, and fresh flowers in the hallways. Great location situated on the canal provides canal views from your room, the restaurant and also from the pool. You will have many dining options in Amsterdam but don’t miss dining at the Amstel. The meals are superb we enjoyed Breakfast and we enjoyed our sever George (originally from Greece) at dinner. The room is gorgeous and spacious including the bathroom with glass doors separating the toilet and the shower stall from the tub , sinks and towel warmer, allowing a couple to both use the bathroom at the same time comfortably. Pricey but worth it.”

    “The hotel staff is absolutely top notch. The hotel is situated right on the river and is walking distance to some attractions though a short ride share trip for many. The hotel is clean and has everything you would expect in a 5 star hotel. If you are looking for first rate accommodations this is the place for you. The only downside is that it is quite expensive.”

  • A Classic Grand Hotel

    10/10

    “The Intercontinental Amstel is a true classic with a beautiful, detailed lobby and staircase. Most of the public spaces are very nice except we didn’t feel the bar was very inviting. The grandeur of hotel didn’t seem to flow into our room as the furniture seemed tired, the carpet was lumpy and the bathroom had one sink and was a little dark. It’s an old classic hotel so this could be overlooked. Fortunately, we had a river view which made all the difference, and you definitely want to request that. The food was modest except for the yummy warm sourdough bread with lots of butter. We’re glad we stayed here because we like to try the classic hotels in the major cities we visit. A nice stay.”
