Excellent choice of hotels in Amsterdam. Located right across from Central Station. Which is what we needed since we were carrying around luggage and using the train from Schipol was the best way to get into the city. The hotel itself was magnificent. Very clean, large rooms. Would have liked a street view, but we were never in the room... more

This hotel is situated perfectly in Amsterdam. We enjoyed the large rooms. As the hotel is made from old buildings (Which are absolutely stunning) the size of the rooms is changing. The staff is very, very helpful. Breakfast with life cooking eggs and absolutely everything you can think of. The best prices through hotel website. more

We stayed two nights at the Barbizon Palace, Fri/Sat. We were given a corner room overlooking a canal, it was huge! our friends were given a room which was even bigger! The staff were helpful and friendly. The hotel is brilliantly situated right across the road from Central Station and all the sights and places of interest are on the... more

Stayed a night for business. Positives is the location. Close to the sights. Rooms are very small and pokey and the rooms need a make over - old and tired. The dinner in the ground floor restuarant was very good. Staff friendly. more

Found this hotel pretty standard... more

I stood there during a business trip. Knew the hotel from a previous stay when it has been a Golden Tulip Hotel. In this times it has been run by a very friendly and helpful staff. My last stay didn'nt make me feel welcome and comfortable. The staff was really uninterested. The quiet room they gave me was above the... more

I stay in Amsterdam quite a bit and this is my hotel of choice. The Barbizon is located very close to the station and the old town and has a bit of character about it. Many of the hotels in Amsterdam don't alas. The rooms are bigger than others I have stayed at in other Amsterdam hotels and the service... more

Absolutely Fantastic Hotel! Having read some of the reviews I was slightly hesitant about going but we found a cheaper internet deal and thought Why Not?! From the outside it does look rather imposing, but the lobby is beautifully decorated and very spacious. The staff were all very courteous and helpful. We were shown to our (inside) room, which was... more

Looking for a luxury hotel for a fun weekend in Amsterdam, I made the mistake of NOT checking with TripAdvisor first. I've visited Amsterdam many times, so was familiar with the great location off Central Station & Damrak. However, I normally stay at the Victoria or Renaissance (both 4 stars and similarly located). However, this trip I thought I'd live... more
