Rooms were extremely nice! It is a little fatter out from the city center but just enough where everything is still walkable and there’s a tram line that’s available. Felt very safe. Quiet neighborhood.

Both the service and property were disappointing. The location was okay, and close to museums, restaurants etc. This is not a property I would be inclined to return to. Poor service detracted from anything remotely positive at this property.

Hotel staff provided excellent customer service. They each were very kind and personable. Each time I had a request the staff responded promptly. One of the front desk staff even assisted me with cutting the tags off of a new sweater that I purchased since I didn’t have scissors. A big thank you to the staff at Leonardo Hotel Amsterdam City Center!

Quiet but close to everything

The room had a slanted ceiling at the foot of one side of the bed, you had to duck to get in that side. The room itself was extremely clean but the corridors were awful, old stained carpets and dark dingy walls. I was pleased to see the room was not in the same condition. The bed was okay.

The air conditioning in the room did not work, very hot, when I rented the room I looked for it with air conditioning, there it said that the room had it, but it did not work or they controlled it and did not put it on, the water in the shower did not drain, the room had to be asked to be cleaned by cell phone and they did not do it either, although I requested it

Good location, not so good hotel

Location is great: very close to Vondel Park and the city center.

The rest was frankly very average if not bad considering the price.

* You have to (by default) request the room to be cleaned on an app/online. Fair enough except they sometimes decide not to do it, including when you remind the staff.

* Room was on the small side. Bed was not comfortable at all (all spring mattress), bathroom had the absolute bare minimum. Aircon was very noisy.

* Hotel wasn't very clean (dirty carpets etc)

* Breakfast wasn't great either

Bottomline, I won't come back, and wouldn't recommend it

Location is good but our room was 85 degrees and when we complained they brought a mobile air unit which did not help. Sleeping was miserable and with more insistence we finally got a new room.
The following day power was out and we were unable to shower and get ready for dinner.
No apologies and no offer for compensation.
More like a hostel. Not worth the price.

The good: location is great, price is reasonable, beds are comfortable. Welcome chocolate on your bed at arrival is a nice touch.

The bad: room is dusty, dirty and aged. This place hasn't seen any updates or deep cleaning probably since opening day.

The Ugly:
This is the worst hotel experience ever! From check in to room service and cleanliness this establishment should be ashamed to even be open. We asked for our room to be serviced 3 days into our stay, room was never serviced all housekeeping did was remove two bags of trash that were on the side and give out one roll of toilet paper. All dirty towels were left in the room, bed was not fixed all other amenities were not replenished. I asked the housekeeping on our floor to please give me some clean towels, toilet paper, and tissues and she had an attitude. I placed the dirty towels and trash bags outside of my room. She came and knocked on my room door and told me not to do leave stuff outside the room like that. I said where am I supposed to put it if this room was supposed to be cleaned but it wasn't. She said your room is not on my list, I responded if the room was not on the list then why did someone enter the room to only remove two trash bags and put one roll of toilet paper in there. What was the purpose of anyone coming in. Terrible experience.

Really a 2 1/2 star property.

Pros: Clean, nice staff, close to museums. Tram access close-by. You will need that tram. Get the GVD app and pre-buy a public transportation 1-3 day pass on your phone. Totally worth it.

Cons: Small rooms, run down overall. Hot food at breakfast buffet often cold. A 30-minute walk to the train station and tourist areas that are not museums.

Negative first- so prior to the holiday the hotel messaged to ask my room preferences. I messaged back and on arrival these had been completely ignored. We had been given twin beds rather than a double (2 twins connected together). Avoid the basement rooms as these are dark, without privacy, and noisy. Had to pull the curtains on my first day there as cleaning staff sat outside on my rooms window ledge talking and smoking. As the lights were on you can see through the net curtains - they could see what my family were doing! Complained to the lobby staff who said they were fully booked and offered to move us to a very small double room which wasn’t suitable as needed a bed for my daughter. They offered us two separate rooms but again not suitable to split a 13yr old from her parents. After explaining this they then offered to find us a room the next day as had multiple people checking out so we agreed with this. Positive- after this rough start the second room was perfect- light, roomy, on a higher floor and a “double” bed. This was the holiday we had booked and saved for as we were finally able to enjoy ourselves. The mini fridge was handy for our snacks and evening drinks, the coffee machine was good but needs to have bigger cups in the room to accommodate the ‘full cup’ option. The breakfast selection was amazing but did dwindle by the end of the week. The little sweets and apples by reception were a good touch to take out with us. Everything turned out well in the end!

Short break

We spent 3 nights here while visiting family. We checked in late on our first and were given a room on the ground floor. We asked for a room change the next morning due to noise from the street in addition to that of other guests constantly passing our room and the very early hoovering of the reception area. This room was also very dark with stale smells,

Reception addressed out concerns by moving us to the 1st floor and away from the Main Street. Everything was grand after that. Would stay again

This hotel is centrally located, only 5 min walk to the tram stop. This area is very quiet and away from all the bars and party scene. The staff was very welcoming and the room was clean. They do need to get some higher quality pillows because the ones available now are pretty bad.

We did have an issue with the A/C not working for 2 nights straight of our stay and staff mentioned this problem started on a Friday and it was Tuesday and this problem was still not resolved. This is unacceptable, this is not a cheap hotel and matters like this happening in Summer when it’s hot should be addressed ASAP. The front desk lady told me the hotel was not prepared for something like this to happen and they did not have any fans to offer guests. Luckily, we were here for a short stay but I feel sorry for guests that were staying longer. If you are staying soon here make sure to call in advance and ask if the A/C is working properly. Other than this issue, everything else was fine.

The area surrounding the hotel is ideal due to its close proximity to public transportation. It’s also very quiet and appears to be mostly families living near by which i very much appreciated. The lobby is nice enough but the hallways of the rooms have stained, old carpets that leave much to be desired. Our initial room was extremely small. We were given a room with two twin beds which is impractical for a couple traveling together for our wedding anniversary. The AC and the refrigerator were not working for the entirety of our stay. Thankfully the windows could open in our room and the temperature was cool outside. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. The pillows were decent but any padding was not existent and the springs of the mattress did not allow for any kind of restful sleep. We did speak with the front desk staff and they arranged for us to move into another room which was slightly bigger. They left snacks for us with an apology note for any inconvenience and we were given a breakfast voucher. At a quick glance the room appeared clean but upon further inspection we noticed hair of what I presume was the previous guest all over the shower walls and in the drain. The shower was also backing up, filling the bottom with dirty water. We are grateful for the front desk staff who were kind and attentive but unfortunately we would not recommend anyone to stay at this hotel especially for the price we paid for it.
