We staying 4 nights with our 2 kids in a Prestige Suite that connected to a Luxury Room to create a very spacious 2 bedroom suite. There was more than enough room for the 4 of us. The room was in good repair, housekeeping was invisible and timed perfectly and they did a great job. We ate breakfast eat morning in the restaurant which had a modest buffet with hot menu to order off of, we also had lunch on property twice. The fries at lunch were amazing and the best we had in Brussels and Amsterdam. The service at lunch and breakfast was sometimes a little inattentive but this was a minor issue. Check-in and check-out were quick, seamless and well organized with never any wait. The concierge was very helpful organizing and modifying our dinner restaurant reservations. The location of the hotel was good and we were able to walk everywhere. I would recommend this property.

This was not my first time visiting The Grand Amsterdam, over the past 10 years I have visited every other year. The location is fantastic and convenient to everything we wanted to see. If you are there around 11AM when they have a walking tour of the property, please consider taking the tour. The hotel is full of history and this quick walking tour gives a fantastic understanding of the significance of the buildings. The rooms are comfortable and updated, and since we use a travel advisor who belongs to the Virtuoso network we are always treated with special perks and amenities.

After having a problem with our room front office manager Nicolas made everything right! It is easy to see why he is a manager by correcting problems! My wife and I have stayed at several of Sofitel properties throughout the world! This property has outstanding service!!

This hotel has considerable potential. Location, service level, ambiance, and cleanliness are great. There are zero USB ports(but does have an Ethernet connection?). The towel warmer is way too far from the shower. The bathroom sink has one faucet but the sink is about 4 feet wide, leaving little counter space. The closets hold few clothes, but they do have very nice hangers. I'm not sure of the history of ownership, but a badly needed refurbishment is needed.

We stayed at The Grand for a girls’ weekend and had the best time! The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of Amsterdam, so we were able to walk to all the trendiest spots (shoutout to the concierge team for the amazing recommendations!). We felt super safe the entire time—there was always visible security, day and night, which was really reassuring. The building itself is beautiful and full of character. The grand entrance is stunning, and learning about the history of the place made it feel like we were part of something special. The staff were all young, friendly, and incredibly welcoming—always smiling and ready to help. Every interaction felt really personalized, and they made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We’re already talking about coming back for a longer stay! Huge thanks to Valentine for her great recommendations and to the housekeeping team for keeping everything spotless. Can’t wait to return!

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!
