My wife and I stayed at this fabulous hotel in January 2011 and have just paid a return visit. Amsterdam, as ever, was brilliant; cold and snowy but plenty of different places to shelter. We had booked a Superior Deluxe Room, without needing to ask we were upgraded to a Junior Suite which was fantastic. Because of the cold weather and despite the slow service we had in the restaurant last year, we ate in the Hotel's restaurant. We were not surprised by the quality of food, as it was up to its usual standard, neither we were surprised about the service, which has never been as good as it could be. Last year we had some very long sittings due to the slow service. This year the service was quicker but silly, small mistakes let down the overall experience; issues like waiters getting in the way, pouring drinks et cetera, whilst eating and getting a roll at random times throughout the meal. As I said last year; if you can put up with these annoyances (a couple of days training would sort these issues - Amrath) the restaurant is well worth a visit. Some reviewers have questioned the 5* status of the Grand Amrath. I wouldn't. This rates up with the best hotels in Amsterdam.
