may be best choice in that area

I landed in the Marriott through Priceline for a very cheap price and after *suffering* the NH Amsterdam Center, which is next door. I had seen rooms in many hotels in the area looking for a firmer bed, but did not try the Marriott because of the price. Using "bid your own price" in Priceline, I landed at the Marriott, and to my surprise the beds were firmer here than anywhere else in the area. Location is very good, trams of all kinds just a block away. Staff very friendly, I asked for a quiet room and late arrival and there was no problem; the room was spacious for Amsterdam standards. The overpricing of services is the problem: internet in a five star hotel should by now be free everywhere, I think (they charged me 7 euros for 15 minutes in the lobby- did not try the internet in the room because of the price) and the room did not have a coffee maker, which I thought was very odd, so you are either forced to pay their expensive breakfast or go out without a coffee to find one a couple of blocks away. not nice...
Leidse plein if full of restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, and shops. very lively area for those on holidays, for those on business, very easy transportation connections to the rest of the city.

Comfortable but overpriced

Staying at the Marriott close to the Leidseplein was a last minute splurge because I couldn't find anything less expensive on short notice. I have stayed at many different places in Amsterdam (other hotels, inns and houseboats) and although this one is comfortable, breakfast was not included in my stay as alot of others do, and the price was over $250 US.
The location is the best part right on the tram route.

Unique Quality: Close to Leidseplein

At the Stadshouderskade; Marriott

The Mariott is one of the bigger Amsterdam hotels and very popular. Its location is close to the Leidseplein and Vondelpark, which makes it an attractive place to stay.

A good choice

Great hotel choice. If you don't use a good hotel Amsterdam, you may be very dissapointed. There are excellent hotels, like the Marriot and others that you would not take your dog to. Pay the extra.

For Amsterdam, well satisified.

A Perfect Location

I love this hotel for its location. It's in the Leidseplein area where it's the centre of everything that's nice and not naughty. You have all the museums, restaurants, boutiques, shops and bars nearby.

The rooms are excellent and the Executive lounge is not too bad but it's not as good as the ones in London, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. Perhaps becasue it's not a JW Marriott.

They have a nice equipped gym and weights room, which I particularly like. The restaurants are not much of a choice. The only thing that's good to eat here is at the Characters Bar & Grill, which is also Pizza Hut. A nice bar to sit at, facing the busy main road of Stadhouderskade and a view of Leidseplein.

The laundry room is very useful as it's easy to reach rather than some Marriott where it's hidden and far. This one is on the second floor and between the rooms in the middle. The concierge is very helpful in fishing for 'any' information you want, absolutely anything. The bad thing about this hotel is the housekeeping department as well as the operators. They can be extrememly rude and yet, the hotel management don't do anything about it even after tons of letters.

Unique Quality: Good view of the street from the rooms at the front and executive lounge.

Good choice in Leidseplein

We heard lots of horror stories about some of the Amsterdam hotels, not to worry the Marriott is first class. The room was very large and the way the hotel is designed with the Zig-Zag hallways its a quiet hotel compared to most. The bed was very comfortable with many nice soft pillows and a soft comforter. The bedds here are A++. The staff was very friendly and had smiles on their faces, they were very helpful in giving us any info about the area. We were going to take a taxi back to the airport when the desk clerk told us the Bus was more dependable and cost only 20% of what a taxi would cost. I did hear a few tales about the taxi drivers that were not so good.

Some tips: if arriving for the first time and at Centraal Station they will tell you to watch out for pick pockets, like many places. Make sure when you arrive you know how you are getting to Leidseplein where the Marriott is. This is a 15-20 minute walk and you do not want to do this with a lot of luggage. I would say figure out how you are getting to your hotel and back to the airport before you arrive and get a map to be more familiar with Amsterdam and the long names used by the Dutch. Overall the Dutch are some of the most friendly people I have ever met, but still you want to not be lost or look like an easy target when you arrive. There probably will be a large crowd in the Centraal Station area most of the time, not some wwhere you want to be walking around with big suitcases.

The hotel is in a great area for anything you are looking for, 100's of places to eat, shop and have fun. I would stay here again, its on the higher priced end in A-Dam , but still a good value if you are willing to pay $300 or a little more a night. The Photo I included is the street area near the hotel, so when you see this Church you will know the Marriott is close, just a few blocks south. Highly Recommended !

Unique Quality: Zig-Zag hallways, quiet. Liedsplein seems to be a more upscale area than Dam Square or close to Centraal Station. Very nice terra (biergarten) with lots of restaurants and cafes and also coffeeshops close by.

A Marriott in the museum area

This decent Marriott is average comparing others in Europe but still a good option in Amsterdam, mainly due its excellent location in the museum area. It has better dining options around than the Renaissance near the train station which also belongs to Marriott. Choice between both is tough as both are really good and within the same price range.

Hotel thoughts re: Amsterdam

by ddschur

We will be traveling with another couple to Amsterdam and I had planned to use my Marriott points to stay at the Renaissance Hotel in Amsterdam...that choice was validated by some local residents.

The couple we are traveling with indicated that they had seen a travel show which highly recommended The College Hotel in Amsterdam.

Question is: which would be better for all aspects of a visit to Amsterdam including dining, sightseeing, flower markets, shopping, museums, etc., etc., etc?

All thoughts will be appreciated.

Have a look at/consider the Apollo Museum hotel.
Next to the Rijksmuseum, close to Leidseplein.

The College Hotel is newer (renovated former school building) and the management is different (a kind of high class hotel partly runned by students in training for the hotel business).

The College hotel is somewhat outside the center, but not too far away from the big museums.

The Renaissance is close to the Central station and the Dam square.

The Renaissance Hotel is closed to the Central station and the Dam square. My friend stayed there 2 weeks ago and they were renovating the lobby and entrance. The room looks pretty modern and nice.

Amsterdam Centrum is not too big. As long as it is closed to Centrum and public transportation, than it is alright.

If you are looking to use your Marriott points, then Renaissance Hotel definitely is a nice one.

There is another location for Marriott - Amsterdam Marriott Hotel at the Stadhouderskade 12.

http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/amsnt-amsterdam-marriott-hotel/

It is right outside of centrum and right at the entrance of Vondel park and close to the RijksMuseum and Hard Rock Cafe and Leidseplein area.

So, it depends on whether you would like to be right in the middle of the center or a bit outside but close to the museum. There is tons of restaurant around Dam square or Leidseplein area. So, either one is fine. The Renaissance Hotel is nice if you want to be right in the middle of the town. When you walk out the hotel and then you are right into old town and quite busy street.

If you don't have to stay at Marriott hotel. Then there are a lot of choices all around Amsterdam. Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky is nice and right at dam square.
NH Barbizon Palace is also a nice 5 star hotel right next to Central station.

If you like smaller chain or boutique hotel, I always walk by the Seven bridge hotel and they have a fantastic location - right next to Rembrandtplein but on a quiet canal. http://www.sevenbridgeshotel.nl/
They have really good reviews in the trip adviser as well.

Hotel V is a new hotel on Weteringschans and it is not too far from Rijksmuseum, Albert cupt market.
