Scherpenzeel Vacations from ￥271,569

Advantages: Very nice location. Friendly staff. Good bed and clean room. Good breakfasts. Daily happy hour. Disadvantages: light switches didn't work in room so had to switch off all electrics at night. This meant we couldn't charge our phones or use the air-conditioning at night. Shower temperature wouldn't adjust. Stairs very steep.

10/10 will be coming back

The Swissotel Amsterdam was a lovely place to stay. So central with a tram stop right out the front, and surrounded by hundreds of amazing food vendors. Only short tram rides to museums, Albert Cuyp, the Heineken experience and Jordaan. The staff were extra lovely. The room was a great size and was well air-conditioned for hot days. Would stay again.

A very welcoming hotel in an ideal spot in west Amsterdam. Boasts some of the most quiet and comfortable rooms I have ever stayed in. Great food, excellent showers and a decent sauna and steam room. A slightly odd thing when I asked for a drink in the bar one evening and was told “you can only order outside”, this seemed very odd when I regarded the dozens of empty seats and tables inside, which apparently I could not use.

We had a wonderful night. The room was exquisite.
