Ambassade Hotel

Great hotel in a perfect location. We were offered a room upgrade purchase a couple days prior to arrival and did it. We had a great two level suite with a private entrance and it was wonderful. We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of the lounge and Sebastian was a great bartender. We dined at the restaurant and both enjoyed our meals (reservation recommended). Net, being in the right location in Amsterdam is a must and Ambassade checked the box for that. We would definitely stay here again.

We love this hotel! We stayed here a year ago in June 2024 and again late Aug, early Sept 2025. It’s one of our favorite hotels. The location is great, it’s very quiet, the quality is excellent - lovely bedding, towels, and furnishings. The front desk staff and all the staff are terrific! They always greet us warmly, they’re kind and friendly, they’re knowledgeable, and they are very, very helpful. The staff will recommend restaurants or suggest sites to see if you’re interested. We want to particularly thank Joey and Isa who went above and beyond to help us on this trip. We found out our train to Belgium was cancelled at the last minute. Both of them went out of their way to help us by calling the train company and finding out about our options. Thank you for a great stay!

My husband and I stayed here on the recommendation of friends. It was perfect. Large room with attached bathroom. All very spacious. Sitting area as well. Walking distance to many attractions, museums, restaurants etc. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend to others.

This boutique hotel is simply exquisite. Located right in the heart of Amsterdam, within easy walking distance of some of the most important stops, like the Nine Streets, the Hoppe bar, the Spui, Bloemenmarkt and Rembrandtsplein. Rooms and service are impeccable. An absolute must is a visit to the hotel bar, which doubles as a home library (or the other way around), and which offers a unique and homely atmosphere.

Great experience staying in this hotel from check-in to concierge service to daily breakfast to checkout. Quiet neighborhood but central to all Amsterdam activities. Everything was a "20 minute walk" from here. Would recommend and definitely stay again. Staff were the best and made our trip to Amsterdam even better.

A Perfect Stay at Hotel Ambassade – Amsterdam’s Hidden Gem Our experience at Hotel Ambassade was nothing short of exceptional — and it started even before we arrived. Booking was easy and seamless, and the staff reached out in advance to offer personalized ways to enhance our stay. They even communicated via WhatsApp, which made everything incredibly convenient. From the very first interaction, it was clear that this hotel lives and breathes hospitality. The location? Absolutely unbeatable — right on the canal, in the heart of Amsterdam. And to our surprise, we were upgraded (at no extra charge) to a gorgeous duplex suite, spotlessly clean and thoughtfully equipped with everything one could possibly need. The service was simply impeccable. The team went above and beyond to make us feel at home — helping with museum and restaurant reservations, offering great local advice, and doing it all with warmth and professionalism. Breakfast was another highlight: generous, delicious, and served in a stunning dining room surrounded by art. Every detail was curated to perfection, and the service was once again excellent. The hotel itself is a masterpiece — a blend of historic elegance and modern comfort, with deep respect for the past expressed through its art, architecture, and atmosphere. Whether you’re into literature, design, or just love staying somewhere with character, you’ll fall in love here. In a city full of options, Hotel Ambassade stands out as a place that gets everything right — service, style, and soul. We can’t wait to return.

We had a lovely time at the ambassade hotel. It is well located on a prestigious street in the nine street Canal district. The service was excellent, the room was spacious, and the breakfast and coffee were perfect. I would happily stay there again and recommend it to anyone.

What a wonderful hotel. Perfect location, upscale hotel in the heart of Amsterdam centrum. Major attractions, restaurants, shopping and transportation all within walking distance. The hotel is kept in immaculate condition. The staff goes out of their way to ensure each guest is well taken care of and wants for nothing. Thanks Ambassade! We will be back.

We searched for the perfect hotel to stay in before starting our Viking River cruise. We always like to get in a few days earlier to get acclimated to the time change as well as see the sights. We booked the Ambassade Hotel for 6 nights. The first room they showed us was too small but the second one was exactly what we wanted. We had a canal view with a King Bed. The Bathroom had a tub which is perfect since we both like to soak. The breakfast was included and it was a delightful breakfast with lots of choices including cold cuts, cheeses, baked goods as well as yogurts, cereals, muesli etc. In addition. you can order a hot meal of eggs Benedict or omelettes or more. The staff was very helpful in securing reservations at restaurants, hair salon, giving directions to museums, etc.. The location was ideal. The hotel is lovely and the bar and restaurant are also very nice. And just a few doors down from the hotel is a the spa, Koan, that offers floating spa and massage. Nice place to work out the kinks.

Cool spot Great location Bed that we had was old Pillows were old Beautiful lobby Great breakfast Beautiful eating area I would definitely stay here again

We returned for our third stay at AMBASSADE and recommended it to our daughter, who will be arriving tomorrow! It is our favorite hotel in all of Europe; charming, comfortable, talented accommodating staff, delicious food, wonderful library...on the canal in a truly central location but peaceful, serene. What a boutique hotel is meant to be.

Love the Ambassade! Impeccable staff. Lovely boutique hotel; great breakfast! Charming rooms. Bad blow dryers. Why bother putting them in? They're kinda useless.

Stayed here for 4 nights in July. Great location and wonderful staff working here. Really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay again if we get back to the city.

We stayed at the Ambassade for nearly 1 week and most aspects were wonderful. Our canal view room was small but comfortable. The bathroom had heated floors which was a nice touch and they provided water bottles each day which was also appreciated. The location was great and you could walk most everywhere. They had a nice lobby room with some books and games and a bar area with a couple of tables. The front desk staff was very helpful too. I took a star off because the windows facing the canal did nothing to block noise. On the 4th floor - I could hear people on the sidewalk as if they were in the room. Most buildings lean a bit forward in the city so I think that's why the noise was picked up so easily. It would have been helpful to have a more soundproof window. I was awakened every single night perhaps 3-4 times from people outside . Additionally , it would have been nice if breakfast was included as it is in many hotels in Europe. It was quite pricey otherwise. We ended up finding cute and tasty places nearby but be aware , no bakeries or cafes open early or really before 9:00, so if you're headed out on a tour or something you may not find a place even for coffee. The price of the hotel was not inexpensive so including even a continental breakfast would have been a good touch. I would recommend this hotel but I would ask some questions to make sure you get a room that suits your needs.

The Canal view is amazing! The building is a bit old, but all building in the area are the same. Easy access to local shops, food, and boating or bike rental location. Staff are very friendly and helpful, they came outside to help us with luggage as soon as they sees us out of our hired vehicle. Recommend this place for the canal view rooms.

We loved the wonderful service at the Ambassade Hotel. Every staff member made us feel welcome and delivered perfectly whenever we asked for something. Our room (91) was great and had a big window and a view of the canal. Despite being on the first floor, we were not disrupted with any outside noise. The hotel was clean and decorated beautifully. The location was also perfect; it is just an easy stroll to all the action but you're staying on a street where there aren't a bunch of people who were drunk or lit loitering around. We already decided we would stay here again the next time we're in Amsterdam!

Excellent, friendly service from all the staff, especially Femke (sp?). Centrally-located on a quiet canal. 15-20min walk from Centraal train station, 10-15 walk from anything else in Amsterdam (or close to trams if you don't want to walk). We did not get a canal view room (saved $) but it was still very nice: spacious, clean, modern amenities inc. great water pressure, robes, mini-bar, room service, etc. The Bistro has wonderful food. Definitely will be back.

This is absolutely one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in, in terms of service, accomodations, and overall experience. Location: as good as it gets. Near several shopping and dining areas and not far from central Amsterdam. In a picturesque set of row houses right on a main canal. Service: Outstanding. The front desk employees were polite and very helpful. When we arrived an hour before our check-in time, they told us our room was not ready but graciously upgraded us to a deluxe apartment, free of charge, because of a last-minute cancellation. They could have easily had us wait an hour for our standard room, but giving such an extravagant upgrade to two young, weary travelers made our experience in Amsterdam truly special. As an added bonus, the bartenders in the library bar were fantastic as well. Accommodations: We stayed in one of Ambassade's apartments, which was located about half a block from the main hotel building. It was beautiful, clean, private, and well-appointed with an outstanding canal view. They offer free fruit and water bottles in the rooms as a nice touch. The complimentary Wi-Fi was also excellent. I can't recommend Ambassade enough. It is pricier than other hotels but the location, service, and accommodations are absolutely worth it. We will stay here every time we come to Amsterdam.

We absolutely loved this beautiful boutique hotel in the most perfect location in the Jordan neighborhood of Amsterdam and would absolutely stay here again. It's close to everything! Ask for a canal view room. It's worth it. They have an amazing collection of original art from the CoBrA movement throughout the property. We only dined with them one night, but the food was top notch, too. Front desk employees spoke perfect English and had wonderful recommendations for everything.

My second day on the road trip is was driving from London to Amsterdam. I arrived in Amsterdam around 1PM and the nightlife was amazing. The hotel was very nice, the staff was very kind. Excellent location. Parking a little bit hard, bit its normal in every large city. Bars and restaurant are close, markets are close. definitely a good recommendation. 5 Star.

Fantastic hotel, perfect location and a book lover's heaven. All books in the lobby and bar area are signed copies of author's who stayed here. Very friendly staff. We got an upgrade to their next door spacious apartment, woohoo! Great collection of Cobra-art too.

The staff and the location is great. I loved the area and it's quite convenient to lots of cute restaurants and shops. The room was a bit small for my taste. The bathroom was quite big so that helped. My complaint is the bed. It was the worst. It was two tiny twin mattresses pushed together. And it was so squishy! It had no foundation or firmness that you want in a mattress. I'm petite and small and found it uncomfortable in every way. I had the worst sleep ever on my trip.

This hotel is gorg. We had a canal view and beautifully decorated room. It was so peaceful to look out and watch the boats go by. This place is centrally located to everything as it is a walking city.

Very friendly staff and fantastic location. Extra marks for tracking down my Nikon SLR that I (somehow) left in the lobby while taking a call the day before. Huge "thank you" for that, and for so graciously working with our large family. A perfect place to call home base while exploring the museums, restaurants, and culture that is Amsterdam. Oh, and check out their Jenever collection behind the bar to get your evening started off on the right foot.

My wife and I stayed here for three nights this past week. This is a very nice hotel -- clean, with beautiful artwork all around and good energy, and the hotel staff are very professional and helpful. Special recognition goes to Femca, a very hard-working and thoughtful manager who really tries to make her guests happy. She placed us in the perfect room for us -- high up, quiet, and overlooking the Singel canal. They will promptly bring to your room anything you need. The rest of the hotel staff were also very friendly and helpful. The hotel's restaurant is also excellent, and the breakfasts served there are amazing. Extremely tasty and fresh food and juices of all sorts. It is located in one of the nicest parts of all of Amsterdam, with lots of excellent restaurants, pubs and shops close by. We really enjoyed this hotel.

Nice boutique hotel in a good location with helpful staff. A lot of character in the room decoration, confortable beds and good.service. Nice view of the canal.

Absolutely charming and a great value. I shall return for sure. I really enjoyed the staff and the service at this hotel. This hotel has great character. Right on a canal, this hotel is comprised of several old houses. It's accessible to the airport and walking distance to most things (Amsterdam is a very walk-able city) I had to walk outside of the lobby to access my room but I was fine with that. The rooms and service were both good. The location was very convenient. The main rooms of the hotel were intimate and well decorated. They have a very nice hotel bar with first editions of authors who have stayed at the hotel (even though they were in Dutch I recognized many of these names).

Lovely hotel.Close to all the attractions that Amsterdam has to offer.

Beautiful hotel, fabulous view, lovely staff. Would highly recommend.

Outstanding Dutch Excellence! The Ambassade Hotel is truly a gem. While most wouldn't consider it to be in the heart of the city, it is actually centrally located to all that Amsterdam has to offer. The pictures don't lie, this hotel boasts five-star excellence. The rooms are both modern and quaint at the same time. Luxurious bathrooms and comfortable beds. Internationally accommodating front desk staff. Get a taste of local cuisine at the fantastic breakfast buffet, or enjoy internationally classic. Despite being a series of canal houses, the hotel is interconnected, and offered several lifts and stairwells. Good television and business services as well. The metro station is a block and a half away, allowing access to the entire city, as well as connection to Amsterdam Central Station, which can connect you to Schipol Airport, surrounding Holland, and all of Northern and Central Europe. The front desk will assist you with any and all requests while you explore beautiful Amsterdam. There are several cafes and restaurants nearby, and plenty of things to do. For active travelers, you can visit everything by foot or bicycle thanks to the hotel's central station. Or, have the front desk hail you a taxi with 10 minutes, or take the metro. Truly a unique hotel, and a world gem.
