Walking distance to all the major tourist sites. Was renovated in 2010 and not a stone was left unturned. Food was amazing in the restaurants....especially breakfast. Staff go above and beyond what is expected. Would stay there again and would recommend to all my friends.

My husband, daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Amsterdam thanks to the perfect location and beauty of this hotel. We would highly recommend and would definitely come back. The restaurant, room service and staff were some of the best and the décor in our room was absolutely beautiful.

Though I prefer to keep complaints to myself, it is in the spirit of this website to be honest, even if it means politely being critical with negative feedback. The Grand in Amsterdam is in a very beautiful and historic building. From the pictures, you will see an amazing courtyard. And, as compared to other Amsterdam hotels, this may be... More

My wife and I and another couple recently stayed at the Sofitel The Legend The Grand Hotel in Amsterdam and were very disappointed. 1. When we checked in, we were told that no room upgrade was available under the AMEX Business Platinum program, but during our stay it appeared that such was not the case.

A difficult review to write, as I was severely disappointed on arrival, but very pleased on departure. Upon arrival (9pm at night) the receptionist confirmed they were putting us in a luxury room which is what we had booked, however, when we got to the room, it was only a superior room. I knew this as I had printed the... More

It is situated in the heart of Amsterdam. All the shopping streets as well as the attractions are at walking distance. The service of the hotel is awesome. It is a 300 year (approx) old property for which they even have a guided tour which starts at 11 in the morning. The rooms are quite morden and very tastefully done.
