Franekeradeel Mountain Vacations

Absolutely wonderful hotel. Close to everything quiet

Listen, this place right here...this is the place to be. I'm a big traveler and have stayed in dozens of hotels from The Ritz to La Quinta and this place topped them all - and this was my first time in Amsterdam. Absolutely unreal. Not only is it probably the best location in the city to see literally anything of interest, but the property itself is top notch. It has an incredible interior, it has an incredible bar (one of the best bars in Amsterdam, period). It has a beautiful courtyard and a restaurant with incredible food. And the rooms?? Yeah, imagine having the best shower ever and having perfectly temperature controlled with plenty of space in even the smallest rooms. But that's not even the best part - my Fiancé and I wanted to go out to eat so I insisted we converse with the concierge since the rest of the hotel was already 10/10, we must've gotten 5 recommendations for restaurants and tours from them and each one was off the charts. The first restaurant we went to greeted us and when we sat down...BOOM, glass of champagne at the restaurant COMPLIMENTS of the rosewood. Check in was easy, they took our bags, they called us Ubers and ever person there was friendly - I will seriously not stay anywhere else in Amsterdam when I return - there's no point - this place has everything you need. (Also shoutout to the concierge, Mara - sorry about the spelling - she totally rocks and they should pay her whatever she desires)

Everything was absolutely perfect. The position was incredible. Everything close. Museum....restaurant.....red light district. I will go there again if i go back to amsterdam. Beautifull city.....

Pro's: :This hotel is in a nice area & about a 10min walk from a tram stop, shops & restaurants. :Buffet breakfast was lovely, varied choices & fresh. :Stayed in an "Executive" room which had a walk-in shower. Minibar drinks are "included" in the room rate & are replaced every day. Con's: :Apon arrival (approx 9pm) we were "directed" to check-in on a machine. No personal touch, no "welcome to the Bilderberg" etc. :We only realised that the restaurant was closed during our stay due to a sign in the lift (would of been nice if a person told us that, so they could direct us to other establishments in the area). :The "included" minibar drinks only gave you a choice of 4 soft drinks (bottle of still & spring water, bottle of Pepsi sugar free & normal). The drinks were all glass bottles, with metal caps so you need a bottle opener but one was not provided. We were told the hotel does not put them in the room as guests may "steal them". :When asked if we could have change the spring water to a 2nd bottle of still was told no. Against hotel policy. :Breakfast - the downside they had 1 person working/cooking in the kitchen - which meant that it could be awhile for items to be replaced. This hotel classes itself as "luxury" but it's the personal touch that makes the difference & it was sadly lacking. Not having the flexibility to change a bottle of water is an example. The area outside our windows was unkempt & strewn with weeds. Not 5* or luxury.

Great hotel, spotlessly clean, staff were accommodating, river to the front and easy to walk in to the city centre. Good restaurants and bars close by and coffee machines, kettle, iron, hairdryer etc provided. Will stay here again next time I’m in town.

Great breakfast

We were a little nervous about the automated room check-in procedure. But when we arrive in late afternoon, there were two smiling staff members who greeted us and explained the system. That helped a lot!

great location

It was chaotic. Staff was chaotic. Bags stored for a fee which no other hotel had. Our bags didn’t fit in the bunks and we didn’t want to pay the fee so we upgraded to our own room. It was very nice. Overall nice hotel clean comfortable bed and great location to get into town.

Good location; the hotel can be reached by several buses from the central railway station. A supermarket is within 5-minute walking distance. The room is spacious and well equipped; the kitchen is very helpful. The reception desk has limited hours but the staff could be reached via intercom outside of the hours. Very pleasant stay; I look forward to returning next time I am in Utrecht.
