It's not just about the location and the beautiful historic building. Nicky Smit and all the staff truly make the stay special

We don't normally give reviews but recently stayed at this charming hotel. Good location within walking distance of museums, restaurants, and attractions. Very good service and staff are professional, and make a real effort to please. Our room was spacious and comfortable but a little dated. Breakfast wonderful.

Our stay at Sofitel the Grand, in the heart of Amsterdam, was 100% fantastic from our check in to check out.

After more than 30 years of traveling around the world, this is the first time I find myself reviewing a 5-star hotel that, in reality, does not live up to its rating. The property is dated, poorly maintained, and far below the standards one would expect from this category. The rooms are plain and not particularly clean, while the minibar is practically empty. The bathroom is also disappointing, with very low-quality toiletries. Overall, there is a complete lack of the comfort and attention to detail that should define a true 5-star experience. The only positive aspect is the staff: at breakfast, Florin stands out for his professionalism and friendliness, and the reception team is also helpful and competent. A disappointing experience and not in line with expectations.

What an amazing stay from start to finish. I can not emphasize the quality of the staff at this property & how accommodating they all were. Our Junior Suite was well appointed & quite spacious for Amsterdam/Europe. Location: Super central, close to the palace, museums & rld. Totally walkable. Definitely stay there. Will be our goto when travelling to Amsterdam.

The Sofitel Grand was an ok property. Upon check, I asked about an upgrade, if available, (per your website), they said they gave me an upgrade to a canal view. A very small dark room. Not at all what I expected, a true disappointment!
