Very nice business hotel, located in mid

Very stylish and superior located in middle of Amsterdam. This is the hotel where I allways want to be for my businesstrips to Amsterdam, very clean, good food, located in the center of the center of Amsterdam. The Swiss are known as very demanding regarding hospitality and it was more as I would expect from a Hotel in Amsterdam.

Great Location

Very close to The Red Light District, Dam Square, and other happening areas. Museum District is further away, but a walkable distance for most. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was excellent by European standards. Only disappointment is that they don't have their own shuttle to/from airport.

Couldn't as for more.

Amsterdam is rememberable on its own. When you stay in an esablishment like this it adds more memory. Amsterdam doesn't have the nicest hotels if you are middle class like us. We have been there 3 times and never have experienced a hotel experience such as this. They leave you alone they understand you are in AMSTERDAM MAN!! They give you the best service whether you are dirtbags like us or if your the many musicians staying there at the time (Cypress Hill, Blink 182, and Limp Bizkit).

Don't judge the Sofitel for their prices. They get paid and they dont care if you eat elsewhere. Within a quater mile radius, there is EVERYTHING FROM SHOPPING SMOKING AND AWESOME FOOD.
