We arrived there later than I had planned (so we had missed our usual happy hour, making someone a little cranky...) The young man who checked us in could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Nothing beats starting out a hotel stay with a friendly face, and, oh, an upgrade!! We had a really nice room on the 3rd... More

I was a little worried about staying at the NH Barbizon Palace because of some of the reviews I'd read. I experienced none of the problems others did. I found the reception staff to be very congenial and helpful. I was there early and there was a room for me. I requested one by an elevator and without a problem,... More

We spent one night here earlier this month. We chose this hotel for its location (next to Centraal Station) and its 5-star rating. Arriving early, we were shown to an available room. We were seriously disappointed. Like many other reviewers have stated, the room was very outdated (probably last refurbished in the 80s) and had a slightly grubby feel to... More

This hotel is just a short walk from the train station, canal tours, and the hop on/off bus. The room was large with a canal view. Can't beat the convenience. More

I stayed in this hotel for three nights as part of a short holiday in the Netherlands. I got the hotel through a Priceline deal and so have nothing to complain about in terms of value for money. The negatives: the rooms were a little bit dated and I suspect this is why a lot of people give the hotel... More

It is mainly just across the street from the Amsterdam central train station. You can take the buses or just walk to many tourist places from the central train station. The hotel staffs are very friendly and the room is fine although it might be just a 4 stars by the US standard. There is charge for the WIFI usage... More

I stayed at the NH Barbizon Palace while on business in Amsterdam in early May, 2012. By a strange twist of events, I ended up staying in three separate hotels in the city centre during my 5-night stay in Amsterdam. I spent two nights at the Barbizon sandwiched between one night at the Renaissance and 2 nights at the Inntel... More

The NH Barbizon is in a fantastic location, which looks great from the outside and has a big contemporary lobby; but this really isn't a 5 star hotel. The rooms are fine, fairly sizeable, but dated. The place isn't bad, but really isn't anything special. I have stayed on two occasions, once on holiday and once with business. The first... More

I was restricted by company policy as to where to stay and hoped that this was a good one. How Wrong was I? VERY WRONG. Room (141) was small and overlooked by the houses opposite, The windows didn't open so the room was stale and the A/C didn't work so the room was around 25 degrees all the time rising... More
