Banks Mansion  

The room was very comfortable and clean, with a menu of pillow choice. Breakfast is cooked to order in front of you. During our stay we were surprised to find that the minibar in our room was free. As was the tea and coffee, biscuits and cakes which were always available in the living area.. A bar was available with beer, wine and spirits which too was free of charge, and during the evening this was also accompanied by a cheese and savoury platter.

Great place for exploring Amsterdam.All old town attractions are within walking distance. Great local eating and drinking places nearby.The hotel gives you complimentary beers, whisky, gin, vodka (and juices and sodas of course) but with so much to eat and drink nearby we never did help ourselves to the free drinks at the hotel! Breakfast is good and hearty. If you have a car then tough because there is nowhere to park conveniently. Even wi-fi is free. Overall a great place in Amsterdam to stay.

Rooms are fairly small and the canal view is a little disappointing. No smoking area inside the hotel.

I liked the fasilities in my room such as free coffee from nespesso machine, free mini bar and free liquers in beatiful crystal carafs. I also liked the free boufet in the living room of the hotel. The beds were very relaxing cause of the very good stroms and pillows.

I didn' t like the condition of the hotel in general. Many things as doors, elevator, paintings etc need to be renovated. This is the main reason I find the price suboptimal. Probably, because of the aged materials and equipment the heating supply wasn' t enough and you couldn' t adjust it by yourself.

All inclusive was an added bonus. Great bed, great Location. Great Breakfast. Parking right across the street from hotel.

The location is very good for travel and shopping, there are several museums around the hotel. The staff is very good, all the food of mini bar and living room are free of charge. Breakfast is ok,

Room is a little small and dark, it will be perfect if breakfast with more kinds food.

The front desk staff was outstandingly helpful in every way. The hotel itself has a high comfort level - lovely lobby, rooms are decorated in an interesting way - and located in a nice part of the city. The breakfasts (we stayed 6 nights) were terrific. The concept of "all in one price" (drinks, snacks, etc.) in the room' minibar, wi-fi, and a great lobby (fire place and all) stocked with soft and hard drinks, snacks. Couldn't ask for more. We would definitely recommend to others and we ourselves would return. (Just need a little more light in the room)

The concept of a "home from home" - without all the washing up - at the Banks Mansion was fantastic. From the great service from all the staff to the cosy fire in the "living room". The "kitchen" where we had breakfast was of buffet style but the very attentive and caring staff would make you just about anything you wanted for breafast. The bedrooms were very welcoming after a long day walking everywhere - and the bed just enticed you to say "lets just lie in a little while longer". The central location of the Banks Mansion meant that you were never far away from anywhere - but then again - you were made so welcome that there wasn't any great need to go anywhere else in a hurry. Just like home - you could help yourself to a drink or beverage at any time or pop onto the computer to check those e-mails from the kids, or just use it to plan what you might want to do tomorrow - from a busy itinery to printing off airoplane tickets. We were very impressed by the whole package and would certainly recommend the Banks Mansion to anyone who wants to be pamperred but left alone to your own devices also. The Banks Mansion definitely gets the thumbs up from us.

The rooms had tv and dvd etc with coffee making facilities - but no tea making facilities. I would like to have had tea making facilities in the room for that early morning get up and go.

Very stylish, original in its decoration, the wholw picture was perfect. Inclusive drinks also very relaxed

Although a very luxurous room still very noisy when it comes to neighbours arriving in the middle of the night.

The friendly staff, the attention to detail, the concept of helping yourself to drinks (I have never seen anyone abuse it), the breakfasts.

Some of the furniture was slightly scuffed and needed French polishing.

Real shower, size of room, and at home style food and drinks.

Show in room 210 did not drain well.

Banks is a lovely boutique hotel, perfectly situated within walking distance of city center. Comfortable bed and nice design rooms. The all- inclusive concept is fantastic. I would rather pay a bit more and have free wi-fi, great breakfast included, as well as the private mini-bar and evening drinks. Service is outstanding. It's my second stay and absolutely preferred hotel in ams.

Expensive on weekends, but this makes sense and still worth it with all the extras.

No tea.coffee in room but is available in lobby

Perfect staff welcoming, interesting package with free mini-bar and some other goodies (e.g. coffee station)

Some minor issues with shower water evacuation
