4+ but no 5 star quality Booked a suit that was definitely not up to the standard. Bed and furniture a bit dated. You could expect more of a 5 star residence today. If you compare it to other top 5 star hotels. Location is very good. Friendly staff. Lacks also amenities.

Hotel's Favourite
The SOFITEL THE GRAND in Amsterdam is a true legend. Everything is sublime. Beautiful courtyard, out of sight and quiet. During the summer season, the restaurant also offers terrace dining in a private courtyard. Two restaurants: one gourmet, the other simpler. Attractive whisky bar. The lobby is spacious and pleasant. Rooms are large, well-appointed and very well soundproofed. The "plus" is also the very conscientious staff, present but discreet, offering personalized service. There is a swimming pool. The hotel is right in the center of Amsterdam, just a few minutes from the train station.

Some of the best service received in Amsterdam. We booked the hotel last minute as our previous hotel was severely under par. At the grand they went above and beyond making sure our stay was memorable. The staff were accommodating and attentive. The bed is one of the best sleeps I’ve had in a while. The location is fantastic as the hotel is right in the middle of everything but just far enough to avoid the crowds. Best place to stay as a tourist in Amsterdam.

Amazing location with all city reachable by walk and fantastic service in this wonderful Sofitel. Just below red district, close to all bars and restaurant between the city center canals. We advise the prestige suite with canal view. Evening cocktail at Flying Dutch Bar is a must...

Such an amazing experience, the hotel is ideally located in Amsterdam, you can walk to most points of interest. From check in to check out the experience is unique and they make you feel special. The building, and historical one, gives so much charm. All perfect, we probably visit Sofitel much more often

This is one of the most amazing hotels I've stayed in! We booked it last minute as we had to move from a grotty hotel. PHILLIPO, at the checkin desk was extremely helpful and kind. I was a bit upset about the previous hotel and he sussed out the situation immediately and made us feel at ease. A complementary tea served by Josephine, was very welcome. She too was helpful and kind. The room was exceptional, the location superb and it changed our first impressions of Amsterdam. The breakfast offered a wide range of food and was served by helpful, pleasant staff. It is a short walk to the station. I can't thank Phillipo enough. I hope his manager's recognise the skills he has in dealing with residents in a professional, caring manner. His ability to assess a situation and provide solutions in a empathetic way were outstanding. Thank you!

Beautifully decorated and great service. Lovely pool, not very big but with the jetstream I managed couple of miles. Wonderful dinner, a very fresh fish, inthe oriole bistro. The only funny thing is they greet you with bonjour. Did not expert that in Holland.

That was my first time staying at Sofitel in Amsterdam. A big thank-you to the staff as everyone was very friendly and attentive during the Checkin and also in the restaurants. As I was staying for my birthday celebrations, we enjoyed such a great upgrade to this specious and beautiful suite. After a stressful travel day the spa was just perfect to relax. The dinner at Bridges was extraordenary. It was a perfekt international wine pairing with increasable dishes in combination with super personal and caring service. The same can be said about our experience at breakfast. All in all this was such a great time and i cant wait ti return to this great hotel.

When I entered Sofitel, the staff was delightful and friendly and offered me something to drink; the lobby was beautiful!! With a lot of art:) My girlfriend and I received a lovely room with the most comfortable bed I have slept in. The spa was unique and so relaxing. It was perfect to start the stay. We went to Bridges, a fine dining restaurant located in the hotel. The experience was incredible! It was the best food I had eaten in a long time. I want to thank the staff that worked on the 26th of Feb. I am sorry that I am not the best with names :( You made my girlfriend and me feel welcome. It was indeed one of the best levels of hospitality I have ever experienced. And the food again was WOW! I was waking up the day after for breakfast. The team was so lovely! I loved that the hostel got warm dishes, such as eggs, pancakes, etc, by order! It shows that the hotel cares about the personalisation of the guest but also considers the food waste and sustainability. Sofitel is a hotel that you have to visit at least once in your life to receive a fantastic hospitality experience. Again, thank you to all the excellent staff that helped us :)
