A wonderful place to stay in Amsterdam! It's a long walk to the canal parts of the city from here, but you are in the heart of the museum and arts district, making it easy to be first in line for exhibits. We liked being away from the city center as staying here felt like being at a comfy retreat, pleasantly removed from the hustle-bustle tourist throngs. After every day's walking adventure, returning back to the warm welcome of the Conservatorium staff was like coming home to family. We always looked forward to their smiling faces and kind gestures. One of the hosts, a gentleman with a man-bun and beard, was such a gracious and kind individual. He always went out of his way to assist us. I can't recall his name, but he is such a thoughtful person. Everyone working at the hotel exudes a genuine sense of hospitality. The massive atrium that serves as the hotel's entrance, living room, and main dining area is such a great place to relax, soak up light, interact, and savor a drink. It also serves as the site for breakfast. And we loved our morning meals here! The breads, fruits, and juices were sensational. One can also request a variety of made-to-order egg dishes and other items, but I loved the buffet so much, I only bothered to order eggs benedict once. The first room we stayed in was a junior suite fronting the main street. It was remarkably quiet, but the bi-level layout did not work for us. The bed, a sink and toilet were upstairs and had to be accessed by a flight of stairs. The closet, shower, and sitting area were downstairs. The upstairs is enclosed by a glass perimeter that extends to waist height. Passage around the bed is tight and the door to enter the upstairs toilet, when open, makes it difficult to move around the bed. If you have acrophobia, this room arrangement creates an unpleasant sensation. It's also a pain when it's time to dress/undress. After two nights, we'd had enough and requested a one floor suite. For some people, this might feel like an adventure, but not for us. Fortunately, they relocated us to a Rooftop Suite. This is the way to go! You are up on a private access floor, it is incredibly quiet and the room is massive and open, with huge architectural beams enclosing the space, creating a sense of drama and security. The shower abuts a glass wall that allows light to enter directly from outside. We just loved the room! It is such a happy, cozy space, akin to a bird's nest in a church steeple. The Conservatoriun is filled with character and a delightful, warm staff. Quite honestly, I can't imagine there being a better place to stay while in Amsterdam. Exceptional!

If you don’t mind being outside the canal belt, or just want to be in the museum quarter, this is a good bet. As a couple traveling with an adult child we thought the space of the 2 bedroom would be nice. If you are traveling with younger kids, I would look at the online floor plans of this set up. I would not have felt comfortable with younger kids as the rooms just felt too separated, though quite private. We ended up staying one night in the duplex configuration and everyone much preferred it, thought it was a little noisier. The duplex had space that flowed better for three people and everyone still had enough privacy.
The breakfast, while a decent selection, did get tiresome after 3 days. If you're staying more than a weekend, I would investigate other breakfast haunts and would not reserve a room that included breakfast again.
Taiko, the Asian fusion restaurant inside the hotel, was a big disappointment that came with a hefty price. We succumbed to museum fatigue and jet lag and decided to dine here in the name of convenient. Now you know.
Used the car service to/from the airport -- excellent.
All said, we would definitely stay here again but would reserve the duplex and make arrangements in advance for the first evening's dinner and daily breakfasts.

Thank you for sharing that you used our car service to/from the airport and it was excellent; I am sure this would be of much help to other travellers and guests in the future.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
We were visiting Amsterdam as a family of 4 with teenage children in tow for our first post-Covid vacation from the United States during their spring break. I was worried about many factors including whether the Hotel I chose was the correct one as we were spending 6 nights there.
Suffice it to say that the Conservatorium exceeded my expectations in all regards. First and foremost, it is located in what is referred to as the Museumplein which is in a quieter and ritizer part of town than the other Luxury hotels in Central Amsterdam. For those of you who have stayed in New York City, it is a choice of staying in Times Square vs. staying in Central Park West. When you stay at a hotel in Times Square, you can never escape the crowds... Btw, Vondel Park near the Conservatorium reminded me of Central Park.
Secondly, the staff goes above and beyond to ensure that all of your needs and met and taken care of; from the front desk staff, to the gentlemen greeting you outside hotel as you walk in, the staff that took care of us while we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast every morning, to the Concierge staff who take care of all of our activities during our stay. When you stay at a hotel for 7 days/6 nights you truly discover whether a good service day from the collective hotel staff was either a fluke or a true passion to serve their customers. Thankfully at the Conservatorium it was the latter.
Finally, this hotel has many categories of connecting rooms where you can put your children into connecting rooms with an inside door connecting them. Few rooms in Europe allow for 4 guests within a single room, so I look for connecting rooms as a must when I travel with my children into a foreign country. The Conservatorium as opposed to the other Luxury hotels has numerous connecting room categories for any price point.
Lastly, I visited every Luxury hotel that was competing for my business during my visit. Trust me in that you will be doing a lot of walking when visiting Amsterdam. Nothing beats the majesty of the entrance and the Hotel foyer of the Conservatorium compared to the other fine hotels. It truly is because the Conservatorium is not in Central Amsterdam where space is a limited resource. There is considerable room to move and walk around the Conservatorium without feeling claustrophobic.
If you are traveling to Amsterdam as a family of four or want to stay at a Hotel in a safer, cleaner, and less crowded part of Amsterdam with a wonderful staff that takes care of all of your needs, then the Conservatorium will fit the bill. Everything that you want to visit in Amsterdam is a maximum 30 minute walk or quick Uber ride away from the Conservatorium.

Conservatorium Hotel surpassed all expectations. I was hesitant to not stay on the canals for my first visit to Amsterdam, but 2 minutes after entering this gorgeous and peaceful lobby I knew I had made the right choice. The staff/service is higher than 5*, knowledgable, friendly , available and takes that extra step to help. Rooms was bigger than any European Entry level room, great natural light, strong water pressure, very high thread count of towels and bedding, fresh fruit replenished daily. Breakfast buffet and menu fresh and delicious. Taiko restaurant: I dont usually love a hotel restaurant , but this is a do not miss, and very popular with locals, excellent variety of classic Japanese and several signature dishes that were fantastic , definitely need a reservation. Location, 15 min walk to the canals and all the tourist popular shops, chain hotels and cafes, but the immediate area is a stones throw to all the museums, designer shopping and an entire local neighborhood with cafes and shops and a huge park with ponds and walking/running paths. Overall, One of the best hotel experiences I have had in Europe and can not wait to stay again.

This hotel is stylish and sophisticated. The location is ideal for visiting the museums (Van Gogh, Rijksmuseum, etc.) but not great for visiting the central part of the city with the canals. The concierge services here are superb - they arranged a wide variety of activities and meals for us and had terrific advice about everything. My one complaint is that breakfast was unremarkable, slow, and overpriced, so we ate at Blushing down the street instead on the later days. Also, the rooms are oddly arranged - the stairs are very steep and slippery. You could easily fall. And our shower was downstairs, not near the bedroom, which was not ideal - it would have made more sense to have the shower upstairs and the powder room downstairs.

It’s not often that when your taxi arrives, a staff member comes to pick up your luggage from the taxi trunk. Thank you !
Walked around a little in the beautiful hotel lobby, with very high ceilings and a very promising restaurant for my business diner tonight.
I had a few conference calls to make and the desk is spacious with many wall plugs and a delicate scent coming from scented sticks just next to the lovely fruit basket. The only drawback was that I had to use my 4G connection as the wifi was extremely slow (6-7Mb)
The rooms (I was in 302) are very comfortable and well decorated with all the required amenities. The bathroom is extremely big so if you are a couple each one will have his/her space :)
I did not have time for breakfast and just had coffee (Nespresso machine) in my room
Thank you for a very pleasant stay!

Beautiful hotel, with a large, open lobby.The staff are very friendly and helpful throughout the hotel for the three days we were there. We ate in both the brasserie and taiko and enjoyed both. The staff's product knowledge in each was very good. Breakfast was also very good with a large range of items The mood was relaxed but attentive. The location is good for museums and not too far a walk or tram ride to the main shopping area. I would definitely stay at The Conservatorium if i visit again.

Our family of four just visited Amsterdam and were so happy that we chose the Conservatorium. From the moment we were met at the train platform to take us to the hotel we knew we were in for a special time. The check in process was so easy and everyone was so friendly, We all adored the rooms and we were so impressed with the contemporary, yet luxurious feel of the hotel design. The concierge host desk was the icing on the cake, however, they arranged a fascinating museum tour for us as well as a private canal dinner cruise that was the highlight of our whole vacation. Truly a wonderful hotel, but made excellent by the quality of the staff.

It was a true pleasure staying at the Conservatorium Hotel for the first time. The hospitality is marvelous, on point, and everything was arranged with excellent service by the guest services manager Unwana. I would recommend the Conservatorium Hotel for both business and pleasure, since the meeting room is very functional and chique. Not to mension the luxurious spa, where you can relax after a busy day. I can't imagine myself staying somewhere else when I am in Amsterdam.
