    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.

    perfect retreat

    This hotel exceeded expectations! It is within walking distance of the main train station. They greet you with a warm towel, and water or orange juice. The rooms are large and modern with exceptional comfort and convenience. Ask for an upper floor in order to not hear street noise. We will stay there again without a doubt!

    Great Location. Great Staff. Great Price.

    My wife and really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The location was great. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars was that the room was located next to a loud alley. Otherwise, terrific.
