Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam

Our second stay here and, as before, the quality and comfort of the room was excellent. Although we had a couple of problems, the hotel couldn’t have been more helpful in sorting us out. The location of the hotel is excellent.

Location, staff, breakfast

Our superior room w/canal view was excellent. Very spacious and good view. Well laid out and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent with so many choices and staff was polite. The location was good. I liked that it wasn't in the touristy part of the city. We walked everywhere

The welcome at the check-in was very good. They remembered that I said I like whiskey during the check-in, and next day they left a note in my room said they could arrange a whiskey tasting for me at the bar. It was very thoughtful. Presentation and variety at breakfast was very good. We chose the hot items from the menu and they served them to our table. We took the cold from the open buffet ourselves. We had lunch at the Oriole restaurant. Presentation and taste were very good. Room cleaning was fine, we did not feel uneasy. The location is very central, we walked easly to most places.

This proved to be an excellent choice for a short holiday treat. The large room overlooking the canal was perfect and the bed super comfortable. Some days it was difficult to get out of bed ! The central location was ideal, being within walking distance of many attractions and not too noisy. The staff were always attentive and helpful and couldn’t do enough to assist. The attention to detail in everything was very noticeable. One specially appreciated gesture was arriving back after a celebratory birthday meal to find some chocolate truffles on a plate with ‘Happy Birthday’ written on the plate in icing.
