We have just returned from a Bordeaux/Baltic Cruise and stayed for our final 3 days in Europe in the Renaissance Amsterdam. As this was our first time in Amsterdam we did not have "other" hotels to compare however found this hotel to be excellent. Unfortunately, they were just finalizing the construction at the hotel but other than the inconvenience in... more

We stayed at the Renaissance Amsterdam on a short break away. The hotel is very centrally located and near Central Station. The hotel is currently being renovated but all the guest rooms appear to be finished. The new rooms are very nice with super comfortable beds. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again but maybe... more

Stayed in Renaissance Amsterdam for a long weekend. Rooms are small, but newly updated and clean. Hotel is currently under construction (late May 2008). Ear plugs are provided for construction noise, additionally I found I needed them as the hallways could get loud from time to time as well as the rare but loud street noise. Stayed in a newly... more

Got a great rate through name your own price on Priceline, however the room was tiny (even for an Amsterdam hotel!) and there is extensive refurb work being carried out which does affect your stay due to noise, dust and the moved hard to find entrance. At the moment there are lots of cheaper better places to stay although after... more

This newly renovated hotel ( renovation still ongoing) was more than I could ask for. It is no more than a 10 minute walk to central station, but unfortunately not the easiest to find. Due to the renovation process the entrance is now in an alley (can't remember the name, but if you head south on Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal or Singel... more

This hotel is undergoing a major renovation at present. We stayed here two years ago and I found it rather dated and in need of a facelift. Well, the facelift is nearly complete and it looks good! The lobby and entrance have yet to be completed, but several (if not most) of the rooms have been completed. Our room was... more

Although this is a great hotel all around, its very best feature is its location. It's about a five minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal Station, which is very convenient for making day trips out of Amsterdam by train. Also, coming in by train from the airport, it was really easy to just walk to the hotel from the station even... more

I reserved the Renaissance through Priceline and was a bit concerned when I'd read the TripAdvisor reviews; however, my first step out of the cab made me wonder what hotel the negative reviewers were staying at! It obviously wasn't the Renaissance I was at -- I couldn't have asked for more -- and I usually ask for a LOT!!! Because... more

What can I say, the hotel is undoubtedly in a great location - close to the station, close to the light district, close to the centre - BUT the service is appalling and the staff tend to tell the occasional untruth! Don't waste you money, there are so many better hotels in the area and I am sure the service... more
