We stayed at the hotel for Approx. 3 weeks this September. The hotel is being upgraded and looks, feels like a well designed boutique hotel in the" best location" of central Amsterdam. The whole experience was great and we highly recommended this hotel well run. The staff were very professional and the food and beverage were excellent. Nice to see that a hotel of this class exists!

We will be back next year for sure!

The Museum hotel is excellent. I went with my wife for a three night break and can recommend this hotel. It's located at the bottom of the centre of Amsterdam right by the hard rock cafe, Holland casino and two of the major museums. Everything is within walking distance or the trams run every couple of minutes. To get to the hotel from the airport, catch a train to Amsterdam Centraal station (3 euros 60 each), then catch tram number 5 down to the Riks museum just after the Marriot hotel.

The hotel room was small, but very clean with a great shower. The bar area is nice and staff friendly and there's currently 30% off in the restaurant. I recommend this hotel for anyone staying in the heart of Amsterdam.

Riks museum, Van Gogh museum, shopping for the well known (expensive) brands - all close by. Plenty of restaurants and bars close by, with cuisine from all over the world.

We stayed at the MH at the end of August '07. We booked a 'deluxe' room as we wanted to splash out a bit for a long weekend away. But, we were disappointed with our renovated room. I know hotels in Amsterdam are expensive and rooms tend to be small, but this was really small. There was no desk or table or chair and barely any floorspace. Cat swinging would have been difficult.
The hotel has recently been renovated, very much with a brown theme, which makes the rooms seem even smaller. They have obviously cut corners in doing this, as although it looks quite nice the fittings were not of very good quality and the bed was awful - very soft and two great canyons on each side where other people had slept. It was as if they didn't replace the beds when renovating. There was still some building work going on when we stayed, but it was pretty much finished so we didn't experience any noise. The bathroom was also small and was very impractical as whenever you had a shower (there wasn't a bath) water escaped from the cubicle and went all over the floor. We had colleagues staying in other rooms and they too had the same problem. Whilst we were checking in/out there were other people demanding new rooms or arguing about price/service, although the staff were quite nice and tried to help - although they did send us across Amsterdam to a pancake restaurant that was shut! I'd add that the breakfast is not included in the price, but for what it is I'd go elsewhere. The location is good as you're not right in the middle of seedy tourist land, but overall if I go to Amsterdam again I'll try somewhere else.

I had the privilege of staying at the Museum during the height of their repairs, when there was dust and construction all around, in fact the weekend I was there, one could walk in off the street and walk up a staircase to the rooms, without even seeing the reception desk.

The room was clean, but it was tiny. But at 90E for a weekend night, unbelievably cheap. But, there was dust and debris and bags of something in the hallways, but... 90Euro.

If you can get a rate, and don't mind anything other than the inside of your room, the location can't be beat. If you are even somewhat sensitive to 'atmosphere', I would stay as far away as possible.

Of course, this is all before the repairs are finished, then who knows?
