De Roode Leeuw Hotel Amsterdam

Exellent location and room was spacious with great shower water flow. Room/rug with bad smell even it was a non-smoking room. Water on the sink did not flow well and safe did not work. Problems were fixed only after 2 days!!!

Hotel Amsterdam De Roode Leeuw, is wonderfully situated. It is so central for sightseeing. When we arrived we were greeted by a lovely young Receptionist. We had arrived to early to take over the room, but, hotel staff, stored our luggage safely while we took our first visit round Amsterdam. All hotel staff we came into contact with, were very helpful, and very cheerful. Nothing seemed to be to much trouble. Our room was big and airy, and very clean. I would love to visit Amsterdam again and would not hesitate in choosing this hotel.

Our room was quite large and very comfortable. We were just one flight up and in the rear, so there was a lot of street noise during the day, but at night it was quiet after, say, eleven o'clock. Service was super, the front desk helped us with every request. There were only two negatives. First, the hotel is very centrally and conveniently located but the street it's on -- Damrak -- is noisy, dirty, crowded, and displays a lot of the worst of what Amsterdam has to offer. (Fortunately, in five minutes you can get to the areas that make Amsterdam otherwise so charming and beautiful.) Second, we needed to print out our boarding passes the day before our departure, and although my wife knew exactly how to do this, the clerk insisted on doing it herself -- without success. So then the clerk suggested that my wife use the hotel's "business center", where, she said, my wife could use the computer free if she was on the internet for ten minutes or less. She did just that. But when we checked out, we were charged 7.50 euros for use of the internet. When we objected, we were told that we had been misinformed the day before, that there was always a charge for use of the internet. A minor complaint, but still a bit annoying. One other thing. I left an item of clothing in the room (only the second time I've done this in 72 years) and when I called the hotel to have it sent on (to Sweden, not across the Atlantic), the hotel insisted on a credit card number in order to charge me. I suppose that's not unfair -- and I'm grateful they were willing to take the trouble -- but considering what we paid for the room, and the minimal cost to the hotel, it struck me as a bit petty. On the whole, I'd have to say De Roode Leeuw is an excellent hotel -- comfortable, clean, spacious, air conditioned, and friendly.

We loved this hotel! It was surprisingly quiet and cozy for such a busy location. Our room was very comfortable - small when compared with American hotel rooms, but plenty of room for us. Bed was exceedingly comfortable.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was small but clean and well maintained. Very convenient location.

Very well located. Very nice people. What seemed strange to us was that we were asked to pay an one night stay deposit as an advance payment for probable use of the hotel services. Overall a pleasant stay.

Hotel was very clean and accomadating. Restaurnat was very nice as well. Perfect location to shopping and all the sights of old town. Would stay there again. Good price for the premier location.

Hotel rooms very small with a view across the alley to the hotel next door. We had a smoking room but it was not very clean or fresh. Maybe the non-smoking rooms are nicer. Nice location.

Ecxellent location. Very good service. Very clean. Only thing we didn't expect is that we were asked to give 100 Euro advance payment for any hotel services we might use. Anyway this hotel was great value for money.

Great location to be in Amsterdam. Staff was very courteous and friendly. Room itself was not new, but very clean. The bathroom appeared newly remodeled and was very clean. Will stay again without hesitation.
