Apollo Hotel Amsterdam, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

We were very happy with our experience at this hotel. Staff were very professional and pleasant. |It is just short of a one mile walk to the Central Canal area (to the Rijksmuseum). However, Amsterdam is a very walkable city and we like walking and did not find not being in the Central area to be a problem. The difference in price was substantial.|The hotel is at the intersection of five canals and the bar, restaurant face on to the water along with a sizable deck with ample outdoor seating for meals or a glass of wine. If/when we return to Amsterdam, we would definitely highly consider staying here again

You get what you pay for. Third time staying here as I was assured of improvements from the GM each time I complained about the condition of the room. Yes they enhanced some of the rooms but they still don't get to the 4 star level they advertise. The design of the bathroom is ridiculous as you don't even have a half of the shower door to prevent the water from going into the rest of the bathroom. |The biggest issue is the filthy carpets in the rooms.....they are totally unacceptable. The bathroom towels are old and thin and some have holes from the age and wear and tear. |The pros: The staff is very helpful except for the chap that checked us in....very condescending and arrogant !! The lobby and the amenities are fantastic. Really cool and unique design which is a positive. The breakfast is nice but limited compared to other properties. The location is fine as it's pretty close to everything. |Overall this 3 STAR hotel ( not 4 as they advertise ) is adequate for the consumer who doesn't have high expectations. This is the last time we stay here as there are many nicer options in Amsterdam. Sorry........got me 3 times and we tried !!!!

This hotel feels very high end for the price compared to other places in Amsterdam. It is a little outside of the main tourist track, which has its pluses and minuses. Overall, it was still quite walkable to everywhere we wanted to go during the 3 nights we stayed. Our room had a great canal view (video of view included), the breakfast buffet had a lot of options, and the staff were all great and helped to make the experience top notch. The only item I would improve would be the way the bathroom is set up - in particular the shower door and entry and exit of the shower was awkward and left a bit of a damp bathroom.

Stayed Friday to Monday and loved it , room was ready despite us arriving at lunch time. Room was spacious with a canal view. Breakfast was really good, great choices, and fantastic staff. Location great, very quiet area, but a short walk to tram and metro . Saturday was my birthday, we never mentioned it to the staff but they must have noticed my date of birth on my passport, we came back at night to chocolate brownie beautifully presented with happy birthday postcard from the manager a lovely gesture. We will be back

Stayed on a quick trip to Amsterdam. Location is decent though not in the heart of the city. Hotel is a bit quirky in decor and could use a bit of updating but is clean and staff are very helpful and friendly! The tower side is more updated so I’d try to request a room there. The food in the restaurant is also very good. You can sit out and watch boats on the canal. While the decor and lighting aren’t my favorite, I still recommend staying here as the staff were great.

I stayed at the Apollo Hotel for a business trip and can confirm it ticks the important boxes, which were a functional room, the right amenities, most importantly, a bed that didn’t feel like medieval punishment furniture. The rooms are exactly as advertised, and I had a comfortable and peaceful stay (yes, actually peaceful in Amsterdam, which deserves bonus points). The hotel also boasts a bar, lounge, and restaurant, all perfectly adequate. While adequate may not sound thrilling, when you’ve been in back-to-back meetings and tired of talking, “adequate” is exactly the kind of no-drama vibe you want from food and drinks. Now, about the staff. Let’s just say if “warmth” was on the amenities list, it got left behind somewhere between check-in and checkout. I couldn’t quite tell if it was Dutch cultural efficiency or just a quirk of this hotel, but asking for something , direction or clarification was akin to it seemed, requesting a kidney. Not rude, just… as though I was a surprise guest at their hotel. That said, the Apollo did deliver where it mattered, comfort, functionality, and a stress-free base to get work done. If you can bring your own sunshine (or coffee), it’s a solid choice.

Hotel view of canal was beautiful. Room was clean and comfortable. I gave the room 4 stars because of a few tiny things that are not worth mentioning. The area is less touristy than others (which we like) but easy to get around by bike or train. We had some of our best meals while in Amsterdam in this neighborhood.

I stayed one night at Apollo Hotel Amsterdam, combining professional meetings and a small escape with my wife. The hotel is ideally located in a quiet neighborhood, yet only 15 minutes walking from the main spots and the old historical city center. Parking is convenient. The hotel overlooks a crossroad of 5 different canals. If you are lucky to have a view on the canal, you will be delighted by the view and the permanent movements of small boats on the canals. We had that privilege since we got upgraded to a very nice suite, thanks to my Marriott Platinum status. Marriott status is very well recognized in this property. The entire hotel and rooms are nicely furnished, with a real touch of originality in materials and color selection. Personnel is very hospitable from the start at the check in counter. Concierge is available. Possible renting of bicycles on site. Possible tours on a boat accessible from the hotel Marina. Nice restaurant, on the marina side with many options at the menu. We really enjoyed and will gladly come again.
