Looked for a modern and stylish 4-star hotel with the best of Amsterdam. The Grand Hotel Downtown was the one that appeals to me. The hotel is located in the trendy Oud-West area, only a 10 minute walk from the Leidseplein (Leidse Square). Centrally located between the lively hart of the city, the lovely Vondelpark and the cultural richness of the Museumplein, the Grand Hotel Downtown is an excellent base for your stay in the metropole city of Amsterdam.

I stayed over night in grand hotel downtown. The reception was really helpful and welcoming. The room was not ready. So, they suggested a few spots closeby to visit. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, but the room was in first floor so, no view and a bit small.

Staff were exceptional ! me and my partner traveled here as a celebration of our anniversary.we picked the penthouse room with the large balcony( which I hope I can request to stay in next time) which was perfect and we hope to return again shortly. My partner came down with the flu while staying and all staff offered e paracetamol and cold remedy’s to help , great hospitality ! The breakfast both mornings was only fault we found unfortunately, most of the English breakfast stuff was more cold than hot, but staff did try amend this I think it was just that we were in that early for breakfast. So yes enjoyed our stay and hope we to return in the future.thank you

On arrival in Amsterdam, we had booked a Ziptransfer to our hotel...my advice would be not to bother.....thats a review for another day!!! There are loads of taxis outside the airport....beware to use a registered taxi as there are many men, holding up taxi signs who are using their own cars and charge whatever they want! The hotel rooms are very small but very clean and the bathroom had gorgeous underfloor heated tiles which were so nice underfoot. There was a selection of toiletries, tea & coffee making facilities in the room, a mini bar (not stocked, except with 2 bottles of complimentary water), a large smart TV, so we could watch Netflix and best of all sockets on both sides of the bed, which is nearly unheard of in any hotel!! The breakfast buffet was fantastic with a choice of hot (eggs, sausage, pancakes, waffles, beans, potatoe circles) and cold (selection of cold meats, cheeses, yoghurt, fruit etc) food every day and a good range of breads and pastries, jams, spreads etc. Staff were helpful, accommodating and super friendly. We found the location to be perfect. It's a bit outside the buzz of the city but we loved that it was really quiet at night. There is a tram stop a few minutes walk away. We bought a 3 day ticket, costing €20 each, and made great use of it. Would highly recommend getting one! We got a taxi to the train station the day we were leaving which was €25 but it was raining and we were getting the train to Paris so it was worth it to not be soaked!

The bed was big but the mattress was very soft and the pillows were quite hard so woke up with a stiff neck and sore back most mornings....however this is just preference....I'm used to a hard mattress and softer pillow!

Enjoyed the service when I arrived one member of staff giving me the chance of early check-in which was needed given how early I arrived. The staff went above and beyond to get my room ready early so I could have a rest in my room.

Nothing really, I was in room 607, only think I would recommend to the hotel and other users is be careful in the shower. It appears the sealant at the bottom of the shower is no longer working and the bathroom can get pretty wet. FYI hotel staff, shower just needs resealing at the bottom, you are able to move the glass panel and the shower is hanging on with 1 screw

Check in was very easy reception staff were lovely and welcoming. We had booked 2 rooms as there was 6 of us. Building was very secure. We stayed as we went to a concert at the ziggo dome and was staying for Kings day. Location was out of the centre but it worked well for us as it was easy to get a taxi to the concert then on Kings day we had a nice walk into the centre. Rooms were very clean and very modern. Very large rooms with plenty of space. 3 girls in each room and we all had plenty of room. Dressing gowns and slippers in the wardrobes, coffee machine provided. Mini fridge provided. Bathroom was lovely and spacious. Very nice shower. Hair dryer in the bathroom plus toiletries provided. We borrowed an iron from reception. One of the best hotels I've stayed in in Amsterdam. Would definitely stay again. Very easy to get in and out of the city on the trams but be aware they don't run into the city on Kings day.

Nothing. The location isn't very central but I've been to Amsterdam alot so know my way around public transport. The hotel is definitely worth it.

Great staff who were very friendly and extremely helpful, location was good too. It was walking distance into the main area of Amsterdam however it was set in a trendy downtown area with great bars and restaurants close by. They had free luggage storage for later flights. We Would definitely recommend and will return next time we visit Amsterdam. Wonderful stay.

The Bed was not the most comfortable not poor quality just personal preference. Springs pinged once or twice within the mattress. There was an ironing board but no iron. The light switches were a little confusing and not well located for the main light. Nothing major just had to get out of bed to switch the main light off from the far side of the bedroom . The Curtains didn't fully close. The room was a little pricey, particularly for the size. However, this seems to be the norm for Amsterdam and the fact that we got breakfast included was a bonus.

Location was great, little shops and cute restaurants nearby, also easy to access by tram to anywhere in city. Breakfast was definitely worth of it, delicious! Room was cozy and clean. However, property seemed to be oldish, would need proper maintenance work like painting walls. Also, on the pictures in booking.com place was made to look a lot better, through which I got an impression that it is really going to be something ”grand”, although the property was very basic. The access to terrace on pictures is possible only if you have a room in top floors. To conclute, the stay was a okay.

Please see above

This was our 5th stay at this hotel, and once again, we had a wonderful experience. Everything was perfect, just as it should be, confirming yet again that we made the right choice. We noticed that the nearby shops and restaurants have expanded and become even more diverse. The location remains excellent, particularly convenient for transportation. Highly recommended! As a tip, the breakfast is very rich and varied, but it's best not to leave it until the last minute.

Breakfast was great. Location is near to the center. A lot of shops, cafe are nearby. Very friendly stuff makes staying comfortable

In general, the hotel itself does not raise any questions, the staff is responsive and polite. Breakfasts are delicious. In the room, linen and amenities are changed daily. As for the online booking of the room, here I was of course unpleasantly surprised, since on the booking confirmation page in the photo the view of the terrace of the upper floor and the panorama of the city was clearly visible, but in reality we got a room on the first floor next to the emergency exit, through which people often walked and it was clearly audible.
