Beautiful hotel. Rooms were fantastic with very comfortable beds. The staff knew your name and the daily breakfast was one of the best. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk from anywhere you want to be in Central Amsterdam.

Rob United States of America

Great service and commitment to guests' comfort and well being. Great breakfast. Great beds. Very good amenities. Nice pool. Beautiful building from the 15th century. Great location in the middle of Amsterdam, close to many attractions. Truly felt like home away from home. In this time of declining standards and horrible service and disruptions in so many places, it is comforting to know that places like The Grand Amsterdam still keep the flame of exceptional hospitality burning brightly.
