Ambassade Hotel

Lovely, quirky, charming hotel. Our room was on the back with a view of the Singelgracht canal. As lovely as it is, it is not a hotel for the mobility-impaired as it is made up of canal houses cobbled together. So there are lots of little ups and downs and twists and turns and some of the halls are somewhat narrow. There are lifts but you still have to negotiate the halls/steps to access your room. This was not a problem for us but it could be for others. ||The location is wonderful - right in the 9 Streets district and close to restaurants, shops and sights. Easy walk to the Museum District and other areas of interest.||The staff is gracious and helpful. The buffet breakfast is excellent as is the service. They even have umbrellas for guest's use - and they came in handy!||Great experience - highly recommend.

We had an amazing stay for 7 nights in Ambassade Hotel. We stayed in Suite 85 which was probably bigger than what we needed but everything else in the hotel was booked out. The suite was lovely and so comfortable. Views from the room were amazing! Within walking distance to everything you need. Staff were always friendly, helpful, responsive and prompt. Housekeeping was good. 4-stars for the room (closer to 4.5) is due to the weak water pressure in the shower which made showering a bit of a chore, an older model hairdryer in the bathroom and and they do not supply dental kits. But this did not dampen our experience. Buy your own supply of toiletries from the nearby Jumbo (5 min walk from the hotel) or you can ask them for extras (they will oblige). We had a leaky aircon which dripped water onto our knapsack, but they fixed the leak immediately and even laundered our knapsack at no charge. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again if we return to Amsterdam.

Centrally located, pleasant staff, updated room with double vanities and a very nice rainshower head with a separate hand shower. The breakfast was also very tasty, and being seated at a table right up against the window overlooking the Herengracht was memorable. My wife and I had a fantastic stay at the Ambassade Hotel and would gladly come back on a future visit.

I don’t know where to begin. The hotel has so much charm to it. It is made up of many canal houses all connected together. The architect should receive an award for creativity as each room is unique. We stayed in a superior deluxe room with a canal view for 6 days. The hotel is super clean and the staff is beyond willing to assist with any question. They make you feel at home and say “welcome back” every time you return to the hotel. The hotel is located next to the 9 streets area on a beautiful street next to a canal. It is a short walk to everything, Jordann area, the museums, Dam Square. Breakfast which was included has just the right amount of variety of cheeses, yogurt, bread pastry etc and the ability to order eggs, omelettes or crepes. We can’t wait to return to the lovely city of Amsterdam and the Ambassade hotel, where we felt so much at home.

We absolutely loved this place. The location is outstanding and right on a canal. The rooms are cozy and beautifully decorated. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. We ate at the restaurant for a few breakfasts and at dinner there twice in our 5 night stay because we hadn’t thought to make reservations elsewhere, that said, everyone loved the meals and would go back again. This place is a gem!

This hotel is exceptional. The staff are phenomenal when helping with dinner, museum or other bookings and recommendations. The Brasserie, their airy, casual restaurant , also overlooking the canal, is delicious with absolutely accommodating wait staff. Our comfy room, also overlooking the canal, was our home four 5 days. We looked forward to coming back there every evening.

We stayed at the Ambassade hotel a couple weeks ago and loved it. Service was great and the staff were very attentive and responsive to our needs. The decor was lovely and we especially loved the Cobra Art collection throughout the hotel- it was such a special treat. The library, bar and Brassiere were great too. The hotel’s location on the canal was beautiful. We enjoyed our stay there and will certainly stay there again when we are in Amsterdam next time!

Central location was great. Right on a canal = great views from our room and the restaurant. Staff was excellent — friendly and helpful — special shout out to Eduard and Sasha for their great service. Breakfast was definitely worth it. Great place from which to experience Amsterdam and the surrounding areas.

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.
