    I got this hotel thru Priceline.

    This is a great location. Within walking distance to the Central station, Dam Square, Red Light district, Anne Frank's house, various restaurants, etc. It's in the middle of everything yet it's still peaceful at night. The lounge area offers complimentary coffee and tea all day and night. Very efficient staff... one lady saved me from destroying my flat iron (ya know the difference between a transformer and an adapter?).

    Cons: For those who are planning to rent a car while visiting the city, this hotel charges 35 euros a day to park in their not-so-great parking garage.

  • The Renaissance Amsterdam Hotel is a Marriott property located in the heart of Amsterdam. Mere blocks from Central Station, the Red Light District, Dam Square, Nieumarket, bike rentals and tram stops, the Renaissance Amsterdam Hotel is the perfect spot to stay in this amazing and vibrant city, but tucked away enough to keep the noise of late-night partiers out.

    Service was excellent. The desk clerks were very accomodating and found us a room quickly at 8am (check-in is at 3pm) when we showed up with all of our bags, drenched from the pouring morning thunderstorms and exhausted from our flight.

    We had breakfast at the Koepelcafé, and while the waitstaff could have been a bit more pleasant, the food was good and the price was decent.

    I would stay here again on my next visit to Amsterdam.

    The Ren Amsterdam is a very nice property, better than most establishments of the same brand, and located in a nice quiet area. It is very close to the train station (3 blocks) and within walking distance to the main sights. Service is excellent, rooms comfortable and ample for European standards. I was very pleased with it.

    This hotel is off the hook. They treat pot heads with high class royalty. From the moment I checked in, they went out of there way to make sure my stay was comforting. They would have these tasty Dutch gummy bears in the front; I would always take advantage of it without being hassled by taking too much. To be honest most of the time I was in Amsterdam I didn't spend too much time in the hotel, I was always outside looking for adventure even in the poring rain. I would always show up early morning after midnight with blood shot eyes and still they treated me with respect. They have these awesome lounge areas where you can take some coffee with a chocolate croissant and enjoy as you unwind. Great place to meet some European chicks. For some reason there were allot of Asians with there laptops, browsing the web. And most important they have smoking rooms. The central station was right behind this hotel, literally a block or two, walking distance.

    I purchased my trip through priceline.com where I think I got a pretty good deal, the trip with air fare and hotel set me back a little less that $1,500.00. Two weeks after I booked my trip I decided to get some more quotes and see how much they were running for then, for the same trip it ended up costing a little less than $5,000.00.
    SO DEFFINATLEY MAKE SURE AND BOOK WAY AHEAD OF TIME.

  • Not a bad place to stay but we didn't enjoy the location as much our stays near the Jordaan area. If you are going to Amsterdam to sample the seedy side of life (coffee shops, mushrooms, redlight) then this hotel is near all of that. Rooms were large and had nice furniture.

    Check out their specials and other packages. We stayed there during the winter and they offered a great deal that included one appetizer and a beer, a canal tour, a diamond tour, and breakfast daily for $130 per night.

  • Directions: Take Damrak from the station and make a right on Haring-parkkers. Go left on Nieuwezijdsarm. At Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal look to your right, and towards the sky and you will see the hotel. Cross the street down Kattengrat and it will be on your right.

    Great location on Kattengat, only moments from the front of Centraal Station. From personal experience, the hotel is not quite up to Renaissance standards here in the USA, with the Club level room I had being large by european standards, was comparable to a standard Hampton Inn room stateside. The level did include access to breakfast and happy hour rooms, which was nice but not exceptional.

    Easy to find, and with a good staff on hand.

  • Most everything that you want in a hotel. The lobby was great, the room was okay, and the bed was a little saggy. But I've stayed in much worse. I would definenently recommend this hotel to the tourist and business traveler alike.

    Close to everything, and right off the main walk. Only a short walk, about a block and a half from Central Station, even in the rain. The Tram/Bus stop is right on the corner. Also, you can easily walk to everything you would like to see in Amsterdam, yet quiet, and very safe part of the city right on the Singel Canal. I didn't really use the pool, or have a great view. I hate to publicise this site, but the hotel usually goes for $300 a night (not worth that much), but you can get a great deal from Priceline.com

    Here is an interior picture of the hotel, small but there was more than enough room for one person. This room was always filled with heavy, thick, potent, fumes that the poor maid would come out stoned with blood shot eyes. Infact it was so thick that you wouldn't be able to see infront of you clearly.

    I believe the rooms are being renovated at this time. We had a room that has not yet been renovated and it was fine. It had a window onto an interior court...it was very quiet and restful. The bed is very comfortable. The bed sheets are soft. The room's air conditioning system works very well. The curtains cover the daylight completely if needed as we did following our overnight flight...for a few hours. There is an iron and an ironing board available in the closet. The tv provides a selections of channels from around the world. The bathroom provides guests with upgraded amenities which are quite nice: I really like the mint & thyme shampoo.

    I just went back the next week and once again, we had a wake-up call for 4:30 am. Needless to say, I needed my sleep. Unfortunately I was given a room in their smoke-free wing of the building with windows onto a side street (rooms with 900 numbers). The noise from the club downstairs and the loud music did not help one bit...so if you need your sleep, I suggest you ask for a room with a window onto the interior court. Even if the room was nicer and larger than what I had seen at that hotel, I really did not appreciate the noise...

    The hotel lobby has a permanent security officer in the lobby. The lounge area provides guests with complimentary coffee. The check-in counter staff is friendly and accomodating. You will find either chocolates or candies on the counter for the guests checking-in. They even thought of adding a fold-out hook on the column facing the check-in counter for businessmen to hand their garment bag if needed.

    On my second visit, the hotel Concierge was most helpful as one of our group had brought his wife and was looking for somewhere special to bring her...we were invited to tag along. The place the Concierge had recommended was excellent!(Bubbles & Wines)...Thank you!

  • My stay was pleasant and it is centrally located within the city. A short walking distance to the Dam, red light district, main train station and the Jordaan.

    The buffet breakfast was quite good. The room was clean and the bed was made daily. The bathroom was nice and clean with replacement toiletries daily. Will definitely stay there again when I visit Amsterdam.
