I have been visiting Amsterdam for a number of years, after living there during 07/08. I always wanted to stay at the American after having eaten at Cafe Americain a few times and being so impressed with the location and landmark that the hotel is. Firstly I'd like to mention that aside from small rooms and generally poor amenities, the... More

expected a lot more based on the positive reviews. Beautiful building and excellent location (maybe best in A'dam). There are lots of positives, particularly if you get the 290Euro executive suite and overlook the canal: room comfortable, good concierges, canal side benches 10 steps from side entrance, beautiful looking dining room and pleasant staff; cool "reading table" for bachelor breakfast...

Stayed there over 3 days the last weekend on my first trip to Amsterdam. Fantastic location! Everything including the museums, restaurants, and nightlife were short beautiful walks away. Cosy, comfortable, clean rooms. The service was friendly and impeccable. Very decent buffet breakfast at the gorgeous cafe that overlooks Leidseplein. Requested for a room overlooking the canal as everyone else had... More

I like d this hotel a lot, rooms are big and very clean, but..... the toilet was tiny. Enought room for a 360 degree turn and not a lot else. Food is excellent, breakfast lovely, all in all a great place to stat for business or pleasure.

We got a suite for 5 nights at this hotel. The location is great, close to everything. The tram runs right beside the hotel and a bus runs from the airport to the square (Leidseplein) right beside the hotel so getting around is really easy. The room was fairly large because it was the suite, with a sofa, chairs, a... More

The best thing about this hotel is the exceptionally friendly staff. Otherwise I wasn't bowled over by it. The receptionist told me that it was an art deco hotel but not much of this had been preserved, or looked after in the last renovation of the lobby area. The lobby is large and should be very impressive but the floor... More

We booked into a 4* hotel online and turned up to find something that more resembled a hostel. It was out first trip to Amsterdam and we didn’t know the area at all but after a walk around on the first day we came across this hotel and had a drink in the bar, they had a room available for... More

Brilliant! We wouldn't stay anywhere else in Amsterdam. The Amsterdam American Hotel has welcomed us on numerous occasions and never disappoints. Fantastic location, quality throughout, warm greetings. And if you're lucky enough to get a balcony (not many hotels in Amsterdam have them) you can get canal and street views. Thanks again for the great room and balcony, just perfect... More

I stayed at this hotel for business related travel and didn't want to leave. Absolutely delighted. Want to go back with my whole family. Such a European feel, beautiful scenery.
