Hotel Okura Amsterdam – the Leading Hotels of the World

Amsterdam Oud Zuid Amsterdam|1.92km from Headquarters AGV/DWR
We decided to splurge on this 5 star hotel for a long anticipated family reunion. Unfortunately the experience was marred by a series of disappointments caused by utterly incompetent hotel staff. When I called ahead on the day of our arrival to request an early check-in the hotel rep. sternly informed me that I would have to pay a 120 Euro charge for the privilege! We are experienced travelers and never have we encountered such a demand. We took our chances regardless and decided to show up 2 hours early. Sure enough, our room was already ready and we were allowed to occupy it at no extra charge. Things really started to go south when a limousine that I had arranged for separate airport pickup of my daughter’s family through the concierge showed up at the airport unequipped with a baby car seat. I had expressly requested this when I booked the service. This was also specified in the booking confirmation sent by email to me by the concierge. The reaction I later got when I complained to the concierge was that I was not charged extra for the baby seat - as if this was the main issue! Furthermore, this was the first time that I was informed of such a charge, as no mention of this had been made in the email confirmation of the limo reservation which I originally received from the concierge. More importantly, what is more concerning is the utter indifference he showed for the safety of a guest’s infant grandchild. All that concerned him was the money angle to the failure. Things soon got worse. When we checked into our room we lifted the bed cover to discover several hairs and multiple red and yellow stains. Unbelievably, the chambermaid had neglected to change the bedsheets. This, in a 5 star hotel! After we called reception, staff was quickly sent to our room to change them. We never heard further from management about this. We later had dinner at Serre restaurant onsite and left the place hungry. The chef seems to focus on presentation and less on the reasonableness of the portions. My wife had a fish main course which was equivalent to 3 forkfuls. The minuscule dessert was pretty to look at but was grossly inadequate even for one person. The restaurant style is a throwback to the old Nouvelle Cuisine school. For the icing on the cake: a voucher for a round of drinks on the house at the rooftop bar that the guest services manager had kindly given me was bungled by the bar staff. When I arrived home I discovered a mysterious charge of 66 Euros by the Twenty-Third Floor Bar. The bar staff set new standards of incompetence in taking my voucher and charging me anyway.I had to call the hotel for credit but I am losing money anyway from the spread in exchange rates used by credit card companies. To be fair, the Superior View room was extremely spacious and comfortable with a magnificent view. The large pool and ample spa facilities were enjoyable and a significant convenience . Also the reception desk personnel were very professional and welco

The Arcade Hotel Amsterdam
3.9/560 Reviews
Amsterdam Oud Zuid
Review Staff: Friendly, Helpful and Kind, staff were bilingual from what I could understand English and Dutch Location: Easy to get to via bus by the 397 from the Schiphol Airport to the Van Gogh Museum and walk 10-15 minutes or take the Tram 3 the rest of the way. Amenities: They offer multiple consoles to select from to put in your room if you're into that and have a mini cafe/bar in the lounge. Cleanliness: Bedding and towels were clean on arrival but there was a weird smudged substance on the wall that was not cleaned for some reason. Would I recommend: If you are into gaming it's a great location to stay and the price is not bad. There's a nice variety of consoles and games to select but with other peoples reviews and my experience I would not be able to verify how clean your room may be upon arrival.
Van der Valk Hotel Amsterdam - Amstel
4.5/583 Reviews
Watergraafsmeer
The hotel is located in Amsterdam Amstel and is connected to the Metro (Station Overamstel, approx. 6 min. by foot). So it's a great starting point to experience the city of Amsterdam. Especially wellness and gym are a nice possibility to use. The rooms are modern and clean. Breakfast is also versatile and fresh. The restaurant is not as good as expected, but still solid. The service was friendly and attentive at all times, the cocktails in the bar ”Moqum” in the lobby are also really recommendable.
Ruby Emma Hotel Amsterdam

Watergraafsmeer
Had a great 2-nights’ stay, in a modern, clean and spacious room with a beautiful view! A young and friendly staff, good service. A nice breakfast with a tasty, Fresh and healthy selection of different kinds of bread, fruits, yoghurt, etc. All served “Corona proof.” You won’t leave hungry! Diner was also very good, nice presentation of local veggies and good meat, all very very tasty! Another big advantage: Subway is within a five minute walk and brings you to the heart of Amsterdam in ten minutes.
Mercure Amsterdam City Hotel
4.4/5113 Reviews
Watergraafsmeer
As we arrived the pleasant receptionist set the tone. Our flight was delayed and we were hungry so we saw their restaurant closed in 15 mins. Shall we go? “No please walk 15mins to this other place”. OK. We did and it was closed. We returned a fruitless hour later to find same hopeless staff member in their little shop selling sandwiches. My wife was ready to explode but it calmed down. Within 15 mins of arrival I was told No more times than in our 3 week trip in total No milk for tea or coffee. Room clean enough. Hopeless air con. We are Accor Diamond and noticed almost no benefits apart from 5 cans of pop free a day. No breakfast/gift or other things that you get elsewhere. A trip back in time when Accor were clueless about brand loyalty. In Australia/Oceania now they are very switched on My loyalty to them caused the problem here. The truth is that unless you spend big money on the Sofitel Accor has no decent mid range hotels in Amsterdam and it’s worth noting. Going to another brand should be remembered in certain cities especially in Europe which is odd as they are a European company. A badly managed hotel. That’s where the problem is. Lazy or incompetent. I know the signs.
