Grand Hotel Amrath Amsterdam

The hotel is very close to the Central Station in Amsterdam. You can walk to many of the shopping areas as well as many restaurants. For those of you who like chinese food, it is within walking distance of the Sea Palace Chinese Restaurant, a reproduction of a famous floating restaurant in Hong Kong. The room was comfortable, with very good down comforters on the bed. We had a supreme room, an upgrade from the regular room. The minibar was stocked with about 5 small bottles of spirits, 2 bottles of wine, a variety of pop, juice and water. The also stocked it with Toblerone chocolate and peanuts. All the food was re-stocked daily. The room also had a N'espresso coffee machine, the ones that use the cartridge coffee system. The coffee tasted great! The room has a wide screen LCD tv, approximately 37. The bathroom was very clean and felt new. For those travelling with friends, the bathroom door is see-through to the bathtub/shower, so you may have to make adjustments for this. We liked the Seven Seas Restaurant within the hotel for the quality of the food, but it is on the expensive side, with a litre of water costing about 6 euros. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always having a cheerful and helpful demeanor. They were very approachable. I would stay at this hotel again!

Hotel is a remodeled wearhouse so its a little confusing trying to find the room the first time. The room is very lager for euorpe and he 10 foot windows are very nice. The bathroom was very nice other than it needed a little more lighting, lights are behind you when you face the mirror. Restaurant in the hotel was very accomadating and staffed

The Grand Hotel Amrath is a beautiful stately turn of the century building. Upon arrival the staff at the reception desk were very personable and friendly. We stayed in a superior deluxe room and found it to be very spacious, comfortable and clean. The room had a wonderful city view that overlooked the canal. The staff was outstanding and very attentive to our every need. Orbitz got it right, it certainly deserved the five star rating. I would certainly recommend this hotel for business or pleasure. The hotel is a short walk from the Central Station for the Tram. The tourist office is directly across the street from Cental Station. Its also a short walk to the dock for boarding the canal cruises. We took the dinner cruise and had a marvelous time!

This is a wonderful hotel and a great value in my opinion. We stayed in a junior suite which was fantastic. The free minibar and wireless internet are awesome (especially when some 5* hotels charge $10 for a small bottle of Coke or $40 a day for internet access). The staff could not have been nicer. We also liked the pool and spa area.

Classic building, great location within walking distance from central train station and all tourist spots, professional staff, and relaxed atmosphere.

Our a/c went out within an hour of our arrival, within 30 minutes the manager had prepared a new room , an upgrade from our existing room, and had us moved. Can't say enough about the way we were treated. Beautiful hotel, wellness center was nice, food and service was great. We will stay here in the future

I have to admit, I stay in the finest hotels in the world. I have never had such a personal great time as I did at the Amrath. Super awesome staff, wonderful atmosphere, if they don't have it. They will run and get it. I was so impressed. I didn't want to leave. I was on first name basis with everyone. Wonderful guests from all over the world.

A great location! Honestly, right by the central station, ALL the tram lines, and you can walk everywhere. Very professional and friendly staff. We got there earlier than our room was ready (9am) and they allowed us to shower and change in the spa and leave our luggage, when we got back about 2 hours later, the room was ready. The room was nice, quiet, great bed and very comfortable. The only drawback - no a/c the room did get a bit warm one night, but they brought in a fan right away and fixed it the next morning. Overall, a great experience. I would stay there again.

the room, the service, the atmosphere and the location were superb. i don't believe I've ever slept so well. close enough to get to everything, but far enough that you could feel removed from the tourists and just unwind. fell in love with whirlpool and sauna. i would definitely stay there again.

My boyfriend and I took the train in to Amsterdam from Paris and did a late check-in on Sunday night (March 13, 2010). The hotel is slightly hidden from view from Amsterdam Central Station, so if you're leaving the station, you want to head left out of the station. When we arrived, the reception host was so lovely and kind and she surprised us with a room upgrade! We were upgraded from a "Superior Deluxe Room - City View" to a "Four Poster Room - City View" with a huge bed, a huge bathroom, two leather couches, and an amazing view of the canal. The gentleman who showed us around the hotel was very professional and gave us a great tour of the hotel and a great tour of our room…yes, it was that big (try getting it! Room 300). The bathroom was amazing. The standing shower was basically the size of a walk-in closet and had 4 shower heads. Separate from the shower was a large bathtub with fizzy bubble bath soap provided. The two sinks were so modern-looking and we were provided with nice soaps and lotions. The FREE mini bar was stocked with sodas, orange juice, water, wine, hard liquor, and chocolate. There was a Nespresso machine that made gourmet espresso drinks comparable to a fancy cafe. (I've never heard of a Nespresso in the US and I was so impressed with this machine that I may buy one this weekend!) The four post bed was so comfortable and was piled on with large, fluffy pillows. The wellness center was by far the BEST wellness center I've ever been to at a hotel. The heated pool was a decent size and the jacuzzi seated four. There were three separate saunas and showers to rinse. The actual gym had a few basic machines, but you do so much walking in Amsterdam that you don't need to do any cardio when you go to visit the city! Our check out was fast and easy and they held our luggage while my boyfriend and I wandered around Amsterdam during the afternoon. The hotel is really close to the Red Light District but far enough from it to where there is really no rowdy noise. It's also conveniently located a couple blocks away from Amsterdam Central and the main tram stop. Overall, I have to say that the Grand Amrath is the best hotel I've ever stayed in and I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
