Clearly, this hotel has good everything you would expect for this level of accomodation. So, no surprise you find it almost falutless. Location, especially, cannot be beaten. But, hey, this comes at a price. I think they could as well lower the rates of some 30-40 EUR. Parking you car close to it proves also difficult and/or expensive. More

Stayed at Sofitel for two nights. The bedroom is modern and chic. Their concept of a king size bed is actually two individual beds put together. We were originally put off by it but I guess the comfortableness made up for it. A large bathroom with a huge shower area, except my only complaint was that the water wasn't hot... More

I visited the Hotel for business and was a little bit scared by its decor! Modern in an old building can be quickly of bad taste but for me it's perfectly done! I love the hotel because the modern touch doesn't make you forget that you are in Amsterdam. The room I had was spacious and well equipped. The bathroom... More

Not sure what it is about Sofitels...a brand I associate with Westins, with generally mixed properties. The Sofitel Grand Amsterdam seems to try to hard, and straddles the line between a Westin like brand and more luxury brand aspirations. Dried fruits and sweets are left in the room, escorts to room on check-in, etc, all speak to an aspiring luxury... More

Visited for I night with 4 other Directors ,we all really enjoyed the hotel and despite it's size it has a boutique feel to it with a small very welcoming reception area beautifully decorated and furnished with small bar and lounge off. Having been refurbed around 2 years ago the rooms are very comfortable and again well decorated and furnished... More

What can I say about the Sofitel Grand Amsterdam? Simply put it's the best luxury hotel in Amsterdam! The Grand is centrally located. It's steps away from Dam Square, Red Light District, Albert Heijn Markets, great restaurants, cafes, shopping and more. However, once you enter through to the hotels courtyard you begin your stay of luxury, service and relaxation. The... More

My partner and I stayed here for my 40th birthday and thought that the hotel was of a very high standard. The hotel was very tastefully furnished and the staff were very good. The location is ideal next to dam square and centrum also next to the chinatown. It is quite close to the Red light and brown cafe area... More
