We stayed at the Swissotel for 4 nights in May. It is in an ideal location to enjoy the city. We debated between saying at the Marriott or the Pulitzer, and chose the Swissotel mainly because of its location right on Dam Square. We had a business room, and initially they tried to put us in a room with a... more

We stayed in this hotel from 22nd - 24th June and to be honest i dont think we could have chosen a better place. Not just because of the rooms but also because of the location. To be honest when you are away you only spend a few hours in teh hotel and to sleep there. The hotel is located... more

The location of this hotel is in my opinion simply unbeatable - its on the Dam Square and a short walk from the train station. The hotel is going no smoking from the end of May so if your a smoker this is not the hotel for you. The bed was comfortable, the room clean and quiet - Will definately... more

Please note that ALL Amsterdam hotels will be non-smoking BY LAW as from July 1, 2008. Swissotel Amsterdam is no exception in this matter. Although some hotels have already implemented the smokefree policy, Swissôtel Amsterdam will not join in until the 1st of July. The non-smoking ban also concerns all bars, restaurants and coffee shops. The very objective of this...

Location is absolutely fantastic. Bang on Dam Square. Cannot get more central. I got a good deal from the hotel website for 125 euros. Which for this hotel in this location is amazing. Everything else was above 200. I booked a standard room and when I got in paid 40 euros extra to upgrade to a superior room. A tip:... more

If you have read any of my other reviews you will know I can be merciless about my opinions on bad hotels. This place gets top marks. It is a straight forward 3 star hotel in a central location. The staff are professional to a fault. Food good. Meeting room fine. Bedroom nice. Is it a 5 star world class,... more

As mentioned in other reviews you could not ask for a better location in Amsterdam than the Swissotel. It is close to everything from shopping to attractions and restaurants. The best thing about this hotel is their terrific staff. The staff is extremely knowable, courteous and helpful. They cater to their guests. There is nothing that they wont do to... more

We stayed here for four nights just after new year. The hotel was very centrally located, with Amsterdam being very easy to get around, even by walking. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. On checking in we were informed that we had been upgraded to the business suite. We had previously decided not to pay the extra for... more

Very good location and not too expensive, but the hotel itself was not impressive. The room was shabby and reeked of cigarette smoke. It was also quite noisy. Room service was mediocre. The phones in my room also didn't work, but to be fair this was likely an isolated incident. Hotel staff were helpful and courteous. Overall a disappointing experience.... more

We stayed at the Swissotel 2 nights, Mar 8-10. It was in a great location and we walked from the train station to the hotel for check in. The rooms were very well appointed and the service was good as well. It is a little pricey, but then again I noticed that most hotels were with similar amenities. Unfortunately for... more

We at Swissôtel Amsterdam are always more than delighted to receive good reviews like these. I do however want to point out one inaccuracy in this review. As opposed to what has been stated in this review our lobby does not close at 12 midnight. All guests have 24 hour access to the hotel. The entrance sliding doors are indeed...

The hotel LOCATION @ Dam Square is simple the best you can have ... in middle of Amsterdam (you can stroll freely even into red light district at night if you want, as it is walking distance far from the hotel), besides there are cable car stops just off the hotel entrance for all museums and parks.... What else? The... more
