We had a delightful stay at the Tivoli in Amsterdam. The staff was extremely gracious during our entire stay. The room and our view of the canal from our balcony was spectacular. It is close walking distance to many popular spots. The breakfast was amazing! Highly recommend this hotel. We look forward to returning!

We had a great stay at Tivoli. The staff were extremely welcoming upon arrival and the doorman upon entry and exit was always smiling and greeted us. The room although small (most European hotel rooms are) was clean and cozy. Loved the fual shower heads (best part of the room id say!). We didn't eat at the restaurant, but the food looked good from what I saw. I do not like that the hotel did not have a gym (esp for the price of the room). Their sister hotel down the road did which was small. I also didnt like that if you wanted to ride the bikes that was an additional cost. For the price it should've been included. I do think its a little on the pricey side for what the hotel offered and although really nice probably wouldnt stay again based on the rate.

I would consider this to be more of a boutique hotel. The room was tiny and the bathroom was really, really small and in need of a bit of repair (for instance the shower leaked water not only into the bathroom but also into the bedroom carpet). The view was amazing as well as the balcony which overlooked the canal. The food was fantastic. The location was within a 5 to 20 minute walk of everything a tourist would want to see. The staff were nice enough, but not really efficient. Our room was not ready until 45 minutes after the check-in time. Things like email and phone were missing during the check in process so it was entered, but missing again during check out. We were leaving early on check out so asked that snacks from the breakfast be put into a box which the front desk attendant said would be ready for us the next day. When we went to check out and ask it for, there was no record of the request. It was small things like this that were kind of a pain. However, you cannot beat the location...and did I mention the food was spectacular!

A Truly Exceptional Stay

Our stay at Tivoli Doelen was nothing short of delightful. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, offering the kind of restful sleep you hope for but rarely find while traveling. The balcony overlooking the canal was a highlight of our visit. A picture-perfect spot where we spent many moments simply enjoying the view and fresh air.

The room itself was immaculate, with tasteful, well-appointed décor that created an atmosphere of quiet luxury. Every detail felt intentional. The staff was gracious and attentive, consistently checking in to ensure we had everything we needed.

The hotel’s location was truly prime, offering effortless access to the best of Amsterdam.

A truly memorable stay, and we would return without hesitation.

If you are traveling to Amsterdam and want to experience a 5 star hotel Tivoli Doelen Hotel is for you. Less than a 30 minute drive from the airport. Located right on one of the canals in Amsterdam. There is not a negative thing about this hotel. From the moment you step into the hotel you are treated like family. Every staff member treated us as if we were the only guests. The food is outstanding. Every course for dinner was wonderful from taste to presentation. The breakfast buffet once again will not disappoint.
It is centrally located and very easy to walk to experience the town.
Do yourself a favor and consider this hotel if you are traveling to Amsterdam.

This is a five-star hotel in terms of design and ambiance—it’s undeniably beautiful and in a great location, with easy access to everything Amsterdam has to offer. However, there were several service-related issues that kept it from feeling like the true five-star experience it aims to provide.

The biggest disappointment was housekeeping. Despite leaving our room by 9:00 AM and not returning until around 4:00 PM, our room wasn’t cleaned for two days. Eventually, I had to find the maid myself just to get fresh towels and toilet paper. She seemed frustrated by the request, which made the situation more uncomfortable. It’s possible our room's location put us late in her schedule, but at this level, that shouldn’t be an excuse. On our last day, the room was finally cleaned—perhaps to check the minibar—but by then, the impression had been made.

There were also some functional issues: the bathroom door didn’t fully close, and the hotel was noisy at night due to nearby nightlife. One evening even involved a police presence outside. During the day, construction blocked the street, adding to the disruption.

On a more positive note, the bartender was fantastic—he learned how to make a drink I requested and kindly got us cappuccinos after dinner. His warmth and attentiveness really stood out.

Overall, the hotel presents itself as a luxurious, five-star property, and it certainly looks the part. But in several important ways, the service just didn’t live up to that standard.

The LOCATION was pretty good as we walked to all the major attractions. Anne Frank house - 23 min, red district - 7 min, Van Gogh museum - 24 min.
The ROOM was a bit small, even for a superior room with Canal View, with little room for the luggage (no rack either). There was a little hallway with a decent size closet, so we had to squeeze the luggage in there. The bed was pretty comfortable and there was no outside noise during the night. There was a coffee maker and a tiny fridge that was filled with drinks (for purchase).
The BATHROOM was big and the shower was huge. It contained all of the things you needed, like a magnifying mirror, a dryer, shampoo, conditioner, etc. It was really nice and modern.

We stayed for one week at the Tivoli Doelen in Amsterdam, right on one of the canals in a very centrally-located place. Their employees were excellent, especially Sonne who checked us in and then continued to help us with recommendations throughout our visit. She truly gave us outstanding service. We were traveling with our adult daughter, so we had two rooms. They both overlooked one of the canals, which was a beautiful view. It was about a 5 minute walk to the closest Metro station and there were excellent restaurants and some shops all within walking distance. The bed was a little firm for me, but my husband and daughter were both very comfortable in it. The bathroom doesn't have a lot of counter space, but there was a shelf outside the bathroom that we used for some of our things. All together, it was the perfect location for our week-long stay in the beautiful city of Amsterdam.

Lovely property. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. They upgraded our room to a canal view without asking. The rooms are quite small - barely room for your luggage. The breakfast price was exorbitant so we chose to go to the cafe next door. It was very good and very reasonable. The hotel had a complimentary “happy hour” of sorts with a complimentary glass of wine and a snack - herring it was very good. All in all a lovely stay.

An amazingly located hotel in the heart of Amsterdam. With easy walks from local transport and nearby attractions, it's a perfect choice for someone looking to explore. The hotel is also beautiful and steeped in local history. The staff are extremely polite and helpful, although the breakfast team needs to bump their awareness and speed somewhat as waiting 30 mins for the first coffee and cutlery is unacceptable. The buffet items are also often poorly stocked and overall the breakfast experience was a little oddly paced.

Unfortunately, the property is also suffering from it's age and a lack of TLC. Small things such as leaky showers, poorly grouted shower fixings and a plethora of dust bunnies and dusty throw pillows detract from the experience. More egregiously, the carpet is in dire need of a deep clean or outright replacing as it is stained and worn. Worse still, our corridor smelled of sewage our entire trip and whilst we were assured it was simply the canal, no where else in Amsterdam exhibited this.

To their credit, we were offered an alternative room, but it would have been a downgrade and the room itself thankfully didn't smell (despite being right next to said canal!). In fact, our room was technically an 'upgrade' from what we had booked, except that I suspect the previous tennants complained enough about the smell to move.

Also, make use of the pillow menu as their defaults are held together only by their communal inneptitude to provide ANY neck support.

The Tivoli Doelen Hotel staff made our trip even more significant and memorable. They treat you like royalty there and truly seem to want to have conversations with you to learn about you. The hotel staff also helped us with finding the best canal tour and providing us information on the New Year’s Eve light show. Our room was always clean and well maintained. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. It was worth everything. The history of the hotel was also very fascinating. The picture I shared is from our bedroom window.

Hello, I booked with Travelocity so I could get the Empress Suite which I booked and paid for. They let us know at the last minute we were not able to get that room and downgraded us to a regular suite. Everything was great about the hotel and the stay there, but nothing was offered (even the price difference) for changing the room on us. It was all as we were on our way to the hotel, so not much we could do. I was happy with everything else and would recommend to stay here. There was another customer who was experiencing the same issue while we were there.

The hotel is beautiful, inside and out. The building itself dates back to 1913. It is in a decent area, within 6-7 minutes walking distance to 2 trams that will get you to the main train station where you can transfer to other trams to get you around Amsterdam.
We did not try the restaurant or bar, they just weren't our style.
We stayed in a canal-facing room on the 1st floor (floor 0 is street level) and the view was lovely. The bed was extremely comfortable. A bit pricey, but so is everything else in Amsterdam.
