Hilton Amsterdam

Amazing in every way! And quite the surprise for a hotel built in 1962 , with a rich history and made famous by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1969 for their “bed-in”. Brilliantly renovated rooms. My room 911 was wonderful with spectacular views over the canal - and my sleep quality excellent due to a super comfortable bed, dark room when the blinds are drawn and whisper quiet, I couldn’t have asked for more. The bathroom would have to be the best I’ve come across in terms of excellent lighting (plus the floor looks great) - great for putting makeup on. Rooms have wifi ports. A particular shoutout to: * Romina - a delight on front desk:) Such a great person to have on check in - she made me feel so special and was helpful and thoughtful. * Bruna - in the Executive Lounge. The perfect person for the Lounge. She worked the room engaging all tables and offering to get drinks. A delight! * Floris - in the Executive Lounge. Hardworking and efficient. Quiet but extremely helpful - even cutting some fresh lemon for the perfect gin and tonic. * A great buffet breakfast with the perfect hosts on Morgan and Elena. Having stayed at VDV previously, the location of Hilton Amsterdam is brilliant - just a short walk to a range of great restaurants and in a super safe, clean and quiet part of Amsterdam. And buses run regularly from the airport (a 5minute walk from the stop to the hotel). My work colleagues won’t seat anywhere else now after staying at Amsterdam Hilton on Apollolaan. It’s worth the extra for a canal room and use of the Executive Lounge - with a 360 panoramic view from the Executive Lounge on level 10.

Don’t go there, no air condition and so it’s impossible to sleep there. The rooms are not the usual Hilton Standard, I was very, very disappointed. Parking is also way too expensive. It’s like they don’t know that they cannot offer as much as they should for a 5 star hotel.

Currently staying at this amazing hotel. Clean, beautiful, friendly and with super comfy beds! Food is wonderful. Had cod fish and Amsterdam fries last night. This morning the breakfast buffet exceeded any expectations. Of course I had their mimosa! Cute little gift shop too. Love sitting outside just peacefully watching the canal. Stay here and enjoy like we are!
