Generally very good stay. Initially we were not totally impressed with the room allocated: the 'canal view' was more petrol station view and the bathroom was tired. Fortunately, another room was available with a better view and a much better bathroom.
Small issue with allergen advice at breakfast with staff needing a little more awareness and understanding of the severity of not giving the correct information the first time; all resolved in the end.

Quiet location in Oud-Zuid away from crowds. Appreciated being able to check in early. Smart room, I liked the colourful decor and well-equipped (but only one armchair in double room). Canal view recommended. Bathroom clean with good shower (over bath). Only problem was heating which was far too hot, couldn’t turn radiator off or temperature down, real issue at night and will probably stop me visiting again which is a shame.

It’s a nice hotel with great walkability-close to lots of dining options and good shopping. Hotel bed is comfy and having a coffee maker and a bathtub is always welcome. Closet is a good size and the blackout drapes were very effective. There are a couple of tram stops nearby that you can use to get around the city. Uber is quite pricey in Amsterdam and a multi day public transportation pass is easy to pick up at Amsterdam Centraal. €21.50 for three days per person. The longer the stay the better the deal.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Apollo Hotel, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the sheer beauty of the place. The hotel is absolutely stunning, with every detail meticulously designed to create a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

The staff members were incredibly kind and generous, always going above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. Their warm hospitality made me feel right at home. The concierge team, in particular, were not only extremely helpful but also exceptionally attractive, which added a delightful touch to the overall experience.

Everything about the hotel was impeccably clean and well-maintained. The rooms were spotless, the common areas were pristine, and the attention to detail was evident everywhere I looked. It was clear that the hotel takes great pride in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and comfort.

In summary, Apollo Hotel is a true gem. If you’re looking for a beautiful, peaceful, and welcoming place to stay, I highly recommend it. I can’t wait to return and experience this slice of paradise once again!

This is a beautiful hotel make no mistake about it. The staff is very friendly. The breakfast is really great. The dinner menu is OK. What’s a little weird is I asked for a room with two beds and I basically got a room with two twin beds next to each other like right next to each other, they don’t have the concept of separate beds that are far apart in one room or even suites with a bed in one room and a bed and another maybe it’s a European thing? I’m also not a fan of the fake plants in the hallway in the lobby

This hotel was a recommendation from a friend and on a 3 city tour between Paris, London, and Amsterdam, this was the worst hotel. I stayed with my mother in a room with double beds and it was canal facing, but the view was nothing special since I think we were on the 2nd floor. The paint was peeling in the bathroom and dropping onto things like the bath towels. Also the lighting in our room was very poor. It was one of those bathrooms where the shower blends into the toilet area and there is no separation - terrible design. It is apparently close to the artsy areas but not close to the center. The front desk staff always looked bothered when you approached. Would not recommend this property.

Very nice hotel. We were told our room was upgraded. We stayed on the first floor. It was a nice room, really clean and a nice bathroom and shower. The room was still quite small. Excellent service. We had food delivered one night which was allowed. We also used the concierge to store our bags before leaving. They offer a 5 euro voucher to use in 'The Living Room' café/restaurant, for every day you don't get your room serviced so you put a tag on your door for the day. You can't use this voucher on room service though, you have to be in the café/restaurant to use it. Its a 13 minute walk to the nearest tram into town. Good when it's dry, not so much when it's raining.

Apollo has been my favorite place in Amsterdam for the past 10 years or so. Recently, it has become very expensive, just like everything else, so I can't complain. When it comes to the price, it's always worth paying more to stay in a canal view room, but it's a bit of a lottery, as rooms with a very limited view of the canal are still considered canal view.

Another issue is the city tax, which is charged during check-in, but sometimes they also ask for it during check-out, so make sure to get a receipt if you pay the tax during check-in. Also, check your credit card statement to see if you've received the security deposit back. If not, you may need to make a call.

During my 5-night stay when it was very hot, the bedding was not changed, which is unusual for this hotel. The hotel doesn't have enough room service staff, so you might see one middle-aged lady responsible for cleaning an entire floor in just a few hours. Therefore, be kind to them and leave something nice or a tip in the room.

There are some low-quality fittings and fixtures, so be sure to report them when you check-in. If you don't feel safe, don't hesitate to change rooms. Enough with the negatives, let me tell you why I always go back to Apollo. The smell... this hotel smells amazing. As they say, love enters through the nose. The shoe cleaner opposite the elevators is essential after walking all day. The ice machine is a nod to the good old days. The staff is very friendly and polite, and lastly, there's t

Great location, bad housekeeping

We were thoroughly disappointed by the housekeeping. No clean sheets during our 5 nights stay, hardly any attempt to vacuum. No extra towels when we asked. My husband worked in the hotelroom for 2 days but he left when housekeeping came and asked for certain things and were then not left. The fact that we were in no way compensated by the hotel management was beyond comprehension. A 'sorry about that' at check out and 'we will discuss with housekeeping' was all. And we paid up to 300 euros per night.

The positives of the hotel however are plentiful. Great location. Amsterdam South is wonderfully quiet and has a great vibe. Breakfast was great as is the Harbour club restaurant. The rooms spacious, light (we had a view of the canal) and cool during the heat.

Too bad we got so disappointed by the service, otherwise we would have booked again in the future.
