You" upgraded" us to a 1 bedroom apartment from our king premiere room upon arrival, but failing to tell us it was a very old room with limitations. The furniture was very low to the grown, the electrical outlets outdated for the technology of today, the bed uncomfortable, and the lighting in the entire place so poor it was difficult to read even during the day. We are in our 70's so needless to say it was difficult to tolerate. You offered a room change to a smaller more modernized room when we complained the next day, but we had already unpacked our bags. It would have been nice to have been shown this apt and been made aware of it's limitations BEFORE accepting the "upgrade." Your service, however, was outstanding and we highly commend your staff. We became grandparents for the first time at dinner one night and they sent champagne to our room later. Very thoughtful.
Dear Mr W.,
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for rating your stay 70/100.
We are pleased to hear that you experienced great service from our ambassadors, and we truly appreciate you highlighting their efforts. At the same time, we are sorry to learn that you found your room very outdated. While our historic building, with a history dating back to 1411, is an important part of The Grand’s character, we understand that this should not come at the expense of comfort, quality, and a contemporary sense of luxury.
Your comments regarding the condition and appearance of the room are valuable and will be shared with our relevant teams as we continue to review and improve our accommodations.

The bed was not comfortable, the room had a smell and the atmosphere felt cheap. The customer service was good but overall hotel was cheap and not worth the price.
Dear Ms A.,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your stay at Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam.
While I am pleased to hear that you experienced good customer service from our team, I am very sorry that the overall experience did not meet your expectations. In particular, I regret that you found the bed uncomfortable, noticed an unpleasant smell in the room, and felt that the atmosphere and quality of the hotel did not justify the price.
Our Sofitel MyBed™ is designed to provide a high level of comfort, so your comments regarding the bed are particularly disappointing. We will also ensure that the concern regarding the room odour is shared with our Housekeeping and Technical teams for investigation.
We understand that when staying at a luxury hotel, guests should feel that the overall experience reflects the value of their investment. I am sorry that we did not achieve this during your stay.
Thank you again for your candid feedback. We appreciate your recognition of our service while also taking seriously the areas where we fell short.

We spent three nights at the Grand Amsterdam, and we could not have asked for a more wonderful stay. The professionalism and friendliness of the staff is incredible - and we were made to feel so welcomed and cared for. Breakfast each morning was delicious with attentive service and a wide variety of options. The concierge staff could not have been more helpful - making restaurant reservations, arranging transportation, and answering all of our questions with a smile.
The room was quite comfortable (although small - as most European hotel rooms are) and housekeeping kept our coffee capsules restocked and clean towels as needed.
Location was great - so quiet at night! We had easy access to a variety of restaurants and were within walking distance of the activities we had planned - Rijksmuseum and Anne Frank House, in particular.
Such an amazing place. If you are debating between this hotel and any other, do yourself a favor, and choose this one.
Dear Ms. Kimberly,
Thank you very much for sharing such a wonderful and detailed review of your three nights at The Grand.
We are delighted that you felt so warmly welcomed and cared for by our ambassadors throughout your stay. Your kind words about our Concierge team are especially appreciated, and I will be delighted to share your personal compliment with Jonathan for the thoughtful assistance he provided.
It is also wonderful to know that you enjoyed the breakfast at Bridges, the comfort and care of your room, and our central yet peaceful location, which allowed you to explore so much of Amsterdam on foot.
Your enthusiastic recommendation is one of the greatest compliments we could receive. Thank you for choosing The Grand, and we sincerely hope to welcome you both back for another magnifique stay in Amsterdam.

Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam was a wonderful choice for our first visit to the city! Very centrally located, yet off the busy streets it is a hotel steeped in history and staffed by some of the most attentive and customer-service oriented staff I've encountered in Europe.
Dear Tara O.,
Thank you very much for sharing such a wonderful and detailed review following your first visit to Amsterdam.
We are delighted that The Grand proved to be such a memorable choice for your family stay. Our central yet peaceful location and the remarkable history of our building, dating back to 1411, are an important part of the character of The Grand, and it is wonderful to know that you appreciated both.
Your generous words about our ambassadors are especially meaningful. I will be delighted to personally share your compliments with Alec and Val at the Flying Dutchman, as well as Niels from our Concierge team. Knowing that Niels went above and beyond to assist you with purchasing and shipping your souvenir home is a wonderful example of the personal service we strive to provide.
We are equally pleased that your early arrival was handled with care, that you enjoyed the comfort of the Sofitel MyBed, and that our Housekeeping team kept your accommodation impeccable throughout your stay. It is also wonderful to know that your Diamond membership was recognized in a way that exceeded your expectations.
Thank you as well for your constructive feedback regarding the lunch selection at Oriole Garden Bistro. We greatly appreciate this observation and will share it with the relevant team as we continuously look for ways to further enhance our guests' experience.
Above all, thank you for describing our ambassadors as some of the most attentive and service oriented you have encountered in Europe. There could hardly be a greater compliment to our team.
We sincerely hope your first visit to Amsterdam will be the first of many, and we would be delighted to welcome you and your family back to The Grand for another magnifique stay.
Warm regards,

We recently celebrated our wedding at The Grand Amsterdam, with many of our guests staying at the hotel as well, and we could not be happier with our entire experience.
If you are getting married in Amsterdam, without a doubt, choose The Grand Amsterdam. We live in the United States, while my husband is Dutch, and we specifically chose Amsterdam because it is such a special city to us. We have traveled extensively and stayed at numerous luxury five-star hotels and experienced some truly incredible properties. With that said, The Grand Amsterdam stands out—not only because of the beautiful property and venue, but because of the extraordinary team.
Every team member we encountered was incredibly professional, warm, helpful, and genuinely caring. The Butler Team was exceptional, and Alicia the Events Manager was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire planning process. She made us feel so supported and cared for from beginning to end.
A huge thank you to the chef and culinary team as well, the food was divine and received so many compliments from our guests. And Merel from Sugar Lips created the most beautiful and delicious wedding cake. It was absolutely divine!
And Monika, our florist, WOW! Her work was incredible. She took our vision and transformed it into something beyond what we could have imagined.
Each of these vendors work with the hotel often, which made it smooth and easy, in planning a wedding from a different country.
The wedding itself was absolutely beautiful, and every detail exceeded our expectations. Our guests had an amazing experience, and we received so many wonderful comments about the hotel, service, breakfast, venue, and staff.
We would 100% do it all over again at The Grand Amsterdam. We have stayed at some of the finest luxury hotels around the world, but what truly sets The Grand apart is its people. The professionalism, care, warmth, and genuine hospitality of the entire team are extraordinary.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make one of the most important weekends of our lives so special and unforgettable. The Grand Amsterdam truly felt like home, and we will cherish our memories there forever.
Dear Angela,
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing such a wonderful reflection on your wedding weekend at The Grand. It was truly an honour to be entrusted with such an important celebration and to welcome not only the two of you, but also your family and friends into our hotel.
Knowing that The Grand felt like home throughout this special weekend means a great deal to us. Your generous words about our ambassadors are the greatest compliment we could receive. I will make sure your appreciation is shared with Alicia, Paul, our Butler Team, doormen, culinary team, and everyone else who played a part in bringing your celebration to life.
It is also wonderful to hear how beautifully everything came together, from the cuisine and wedding cake by Merel to the incredible floral arrangements created by Monika. We were particularly touched by your thoughtful decision afterwards to donate your beautiful wedding flowers to a local elderly care home, allowing them to bring joy to others even after the celebrations had ended.
Thank you for choosing The Grand for a place and moment that will forever be part of your story. It was a privilege to celebrate alongside you, and we hope to welcome you both home to The Grand for many anniversaries and special moments to come.
Warm regards,
Stefan Melcherts

The staff at the Sofitel Legend is superb. I was there for a pre-stay before my river cruise. The meals in the restaurants were delicious. And my room was comfortable and clean and had a great bathroom and walk-in shower. Wonderful stay.
Dear Gloria H.,
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful review and for awarding your stay a perfect score.

Your kind words about our ambassadors are especially appreciated, and I will be delighted to share your compliments with the entire team. We are equally pleased that you enjoyed the culinary experiences in our restaurants and our breakfast at Bridges.

Thank you for making our wedding weekend so special!!
Dear Mr. C.,
Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful words. It was truly an honour for me personally to have been part of your wedding and to see such a special day take place here at The Grand.
It was a pleasure to help make this memorable occasion everything you had hoped for, and seeing the celebrations come together throughout the hotel was very special for all of us.
I also wanted to mention how touched we were by your thoughtful decision to donate the beautiful floral arrangements from your wedding to a local elderly care home. Knowing that the flowers from such a joyful occasion could continue to bring happiness to others afterwards was a truly beautiful gesture.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of this unforgettable chapter in your story. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together, and I very much hope to welcome you back to The Grand to celebrate many more milestones in the years to come.

I chose The Grand for the high end positionîg and what I had experienced bit it was a total disappointing experience and the last one.
Dear Mr. G.,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
I am sincerely sorry to read that your recent stay at The Grand was so disappointing, particularly as you chose to return based on your previous experiences with us.
I regret the difficulties you encountered when arriving by car and the time this caused you to lose. I am equally sorry that the evening preparation of your room was missed and, especially, that the confirmed request to charge your vehicle was not carried out. I understand how frustrating this must have been upon departure.
It is particularly disappointing to learn that the level of service throughout your stay did not reflect the high standards you have experienced with us previously. Your comments regarding the parking experience, communication and attention to detail will be shared with the relevant teams for careful follow up.
We truly regret that this experience has affected your confidence in The Grand and hope that, despite your current disappointment, we may one day have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide the experience you remember from your previous visits.
Warm regards,
Sam Visscher
