Reviews for The College Hotel
Great hotel
We spent 3 fabulous nights here and would love to return. Check in was a breeze. I’ve never been asked what time we wanted our room cleaned. What a terrific option to have! The room was large, spotless and everything we needed was in the room. Breakfast was delicious. It was nice to order off a menu after 2 weeks of buffet breakfasts. The best part of the hotel? Juliana at the front desk. She helped make meal suggestions, sending us to an incredible Italian deli just down the street. Stop in, you won’t be disappointed. Juliana took the time to plan a day trip for us out of the city. We visited Haarlem, an easy train ride away. She printed tickets for us and gave me very specific travel instructions, so we didn’t get lost or on the wrong train. She really went above and beyond to make sure our time in Amsterdam was enjoyable. The hotel is a converted boarding school. The architecture is stunning and a very unique place to stay. The location is perfect, close to museums and across the street from the trolley.

Good
Everything was great, but the guest experience at the restaurant needs to improve extensively. We tried to eat dinner at the hotel about 4 times and no one ever paid any attention to us or we had to stand up and chase people to come see us. In the end, we at there one time and it took about 25 min to get our order in, another hour to get our food and we had to ask the waiter where it was and then they brought it out so it was already ready but no one checked. A lot of improvement needs to happen with the guest experience. Also, maybe the change needs to be to not do so many events for non guest and focus a little more on the guests that are paying to be there.

A Report Card of all A’s
One of the best Autograph properties in the country. Raoul at the reception desk was beyond hospitable. It’s boutique feel and famous history makes you want to stay for weeks.

A Disappointing Decline After 15 Years of Loyalty
We have been loyal guests at The College Hotel for over fifteen years, returning time and again for its charm, service, and exceptional breakfast experience. Unfortunately, since the recent takeover by Marriott International, Inc., our experience—particularly with the breakfast offering—has significantly declined. The once-beautiful and varied breakfast buffet has been replaced with a dull, minimal menu with very limited drink options. We opted for the full breakfast, but what we received was far from what we’ve come to expect. The bread basket was bland and tasteless, the quality of the sausages and bacon was noticeably low, the fried eggs were undercooked, and the baked beans were served in an almost symbolic spoonful. To make matters worse, prices have increased while the overall selection and quality have sharply declined. It’s truly disheartening to see such a special place lose its charm and standards. Regrettably, we’ll be seeking alternative accommodation in the future. What a shame—fifteen years of fond memories now overshadowed by this disappointing change.

Service not Great!
The Hotel staff was great but the restaurants services was awful. First night I was by myself and sat down outside and watched 2 other parties come in and order before me.. I finally had to motion to them that I would like to order. I had breakfast inside and I asked the 2 wait staff for a glass of water and never received the water and I had to go up and finally ask for water. The girl serving that morning was constantly on her phone - so she was not engaged what so ever. They need some training.
