The hotel website forewarned us that there was construction ongoing at the property, but we were shocked by the true impact of it. The lobby was non-existant, no place to sit and relax. The check-in and concierge desks were extremely small and lacked any appeal. Gift shop located on the 2nd floor in a regular size guest room, breakfast buffet... more

I am giving a 5 star because I got a good price thru price line and the service/ room/location was great for the price I paid for. it was about 5 min from the train station, so we just dragged our luggage across few blocks to the hotel. The hotel is under construction m-f (sometimes on sat). the staff said... more

We arrived at the Renaissance expecting a luxury 5 star hotel and found a building site. The overall feel of the hotel was like a dark dingy hospital. Old fashioned furnishings and a smell of damp. The hotel lobby had a rather strong smell of drainage/sewers and was very uncomfortable. The bedroom we had been allocated was different to what... more

My son and I just completed a very enjoyable five night stay at the Renaissance Amsterdam Hotel. We took the train from Schipohl Airport to Amsterdam Centraal. The cost was 3.80euro one way per person. You can purchase the train ticket by credit card at the machines, but you need to know your pin code to do so. If you... more

Stayed here for 1 night for business. Had a new room that was very nice. The hotel's public areas were a zoo (as of May 08) because of construction. Hopefully it will improve when they are finished. The room I had was however very nice more

I have just returned from a wonderful trip to Amsterdam. Everyone in the hotel was very friendly and helpful from the front desk to the room maids. This is my second visit to the Renaissance Amsterdam and I am glad to say that all rooms have been modernised since my last visit. They were very tired looking before. The bed... more

Fabulous location, close to central station and within walking distance to all sights. The most comfortable bed we had in our 6 weeks. Yes, construction is going on but we were up and out every morning anyhow. The water and apples in the lobby were a nice touch. Best part of all was Ben, the VERY helpful concierge, he assisted... more

The first time we stayed at this hotel, we booked a standard double room and my husband was not impressed as it was very small, so a quick trip to reception and we found ourselves on the 5th floor with a special key for the elevator and various other little perks like champagne and nibbles for free between 5 and... more

The Hotel itself is well located, just a short walk from the central train station but is undergoing a major re-furb. The room I stayed in was smallsh, although clean and had recently been re-modelled I heard. The outside of the hotel was covered with scaffolding and screens, making the entrance hard to find. Breakfast was the usual buffet, served... more
