Close to everything, Amsterdam city is relatively small, but I always personally enjoy staying near the Centraal Station, which I learned this weekend was built on 8000 wood pilings. Booked a club level room, on the 4th floor, but the club lounge is located on the main level, so I may think the hotel offers club rooms on different floors. Club lounge offerings were very good, for jet lagged travelers however, the fact it wasn't open 24 hours was a bit disappointing, but not entirely unexpected. Plenty of late night food options in Amsterdam, or even in the minibar are snacks, and the hotel has a limited 24 hour room service offering. Pizza I think and maybe some other simple items. The auto bill mini bar is a pain however. Staff is excellent, our corner room, luckily assigned, I might add, was the largest hotel room I've ever had in Europe. Small mishap on my bill was addressed and a bottle of wine delivered to our room to offer apologies and a note of correction.
'New' restaurant in lobby was offering 2 for 1 drinks between 1700-1800 and 2300-2400. Decent deal for a drink before and after dinner. Our trip was a romantic week in Europe, Valentine's Day in Paris and a long weekend at this great hotel in Amsterdam.

Dear valued Guest,
Thank you for your comments on Tripadvisor following your recent visit to the Crowne Plaza Amsterdam City Centre. It is always wonderful to read feedback on our property and being shared with the travel community.
I am very intrigued to find that our central station is build on 8000 wood pilings. Never though of this before but quite understandable since Amsterdam is below sea level and not quite build on the strongest surfaces available.
The clubrooms are indeed scattered throughout the hotel. These rooms are equipped with a Nespresso coffee maker and upgraded bathroom amenities for instance and, when booked as such, access to Clublounge with complimentary internet access and an array of drinks and snacks, pastries and candy throughout the day and breakfast in the morning. I am sorry to read you expected our lounge to be open during the night. Something we should indeed take in consideration for our jetlagged guests.
I am sory to read there was mistake on your invoice and hope we rectified it to your satisfaction.
Besides the happy hours did you lunch or dine at our restaurant? New Dorrius Restaurant and Bar provides you with typical Dutch fare prepared with an International twist. We are sure there something enjoyable on our menu for all our guests.
We hope you are able to come and visit us again here at the Crowne Plaza Amsterdam City Centre and New Dorrius Restaurant and Bar.
Kind regards,
Jaap Roomeijer,
Food and Beverage Manager
