Overall a good experience

This hotel was perfect for our small getaway holiday,the only fault is we were giving a room dat had some sort of fan above our room that was very noisey and went on and off every five mins also the room was very dark as the window looked out onto the side of another building,the food in the restaurant wasnt great at all and very expensive but the staff in the hotel where very friendly and helpful

Good size room for Damrak area

Booked the room via online travel site where this review is being written but they did not provide any information to hotel. They need to ensure that if they sell prepaid room reservation, then hotel should actually receive the information. It took hotel staff few phone calls and some workaround to find me a room. This is a way better than typical Central area hotel but not as par with same brand hotel in other location. The wireless (or wired) internet connection is extra. Room window was right in front of Burger King and McDonaland so it was bright but nothing which curtains cant hide.

Lovely hotel in a perfect spot

You can't beat the Swissotel's location, right on Dam Sq. But as soon as you step inside the hustle and bustle dies away and you would never know you were in the middle of the busy city. Our room was very comfortable and we loved the pillow menu! Could have done with free wi-fi but the tv channel choice was great. A stylish and comfortable hotel in an unbeatable spot.

Our Lord in the Attic, a 150-seater Catholic Church hidden in a canal house on the edge of the Red Light District. It's amazing!

enjoyable city break

The overall experience at this hotel was very positive. The staff were very helpful and courteous. As it is very near the city centre it was easy to explore the city by walking or taking the tram, especially for first time travellers to Amsterdam.
