Canal House Suites at Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam Hotel 5 stars

Now, this is how it's done! The hotel is magnificent, historic and in the a perfect location city. Service was fantastic, very friendly and personable without being stuffy and over impressed with themselves like some luxury hotels. As far as I'm concerned, it was the perfect complement to a great stay in the city . I would recommend this hotel highly. It will be my first choice when I am back in Amsterdam!!!

From the moment we arrived until our departure we were pampered by all the hotel staff. Lovely room overlooking a canal. Wonderful choice at breakfast with everything you could possibly wish for and superb service by warm and friendly staff. We ate in the Bar which was cosy and comfortable and served a light meal from the restaurant kitchen. The hotel is centrally located and within easy walking distance of all the major museums, galleries and other places of historical interest.

This hotel is perfectly positioned to enjoy all of Amsterdam On a recent trip there, our second to this hotel, my wife and I were able to walk to all the places we wanted to visit. Although not cheap, the rate is very fair and we always feel special staying here. The staff are professional, courteous and friendly. Walking into the courtyard in front of our hotel after a day exploring always makes us feel that we really are staying somewhere very grand indeed.

We enjoyed the view from our Deluxe Canal View Room. The bedroom, bathroom, and dressing room were large, even by US standards. All the staff members we encountered were friendly and attentive, especially the bartender in the intimate and atmospheric "Brown Bar". The beds were amazingly comfortable, and thankfully, the king mattress wasn't two mattresses pushed together. Now I understand why this hotel was highly recommended by friends and our travel agent.

Room space and design are outstanding. Personnel is extremely friendly and helpful. Bridges restaurant is much better than Sofitel average. Sofitel has always been a top experience for us. So we have been big fans for many years.

Could not have picked a better hotel for location value and staff made to feel welcome by friendly and knowledgeable staff who made our stay all the better looking forward to our next visit in the not to distant future

This was our third return to this wonderful hotel -- the rooms, and particularly the beds, are comfortable and Bridges Restaurant serves gourmet cuisine. The location makes getting anywhere in Amsterdam (or The Netherlands, for that matter) easy.

This might be the greatest hotel I've ever stayed in. Sofitel properties, in general, are excellent and I've stayed in numerous Sofitels. Amsterdam, however, is that much better. Excellent staff, butlers available is so desired and the food is very good. Very comfortable bed. My only slight against this property is it's on the border of the red light district and the smell of pot is pretty obvious when you hit the street. Love this place and will return.

The best hotel in Amsterdam;Second to none location,Excellent service,all the treats you can dream on,very cozy rooms,very good gym and nice spa with all the treatment that you wish;the breakfast buffet is very rich and tasty.

We enjoyed out stay at De Grand enornously. De Grand is one of the best hotels of Amsterdam and perfectly located in the old city center. It is probably not the cheapest, but the service was immaculate, the attention to detail phenomenal and the staff provided US with the hospitality one can wish for without overexaggerating.

The exterior is gorgeous, with its lovely courtyard and uniformed attendants. The lobby is stunning also, and the outdoor terrace restaurant is so welcoming. The staff are so friendly and well-trained. It is a pleasure to stay there! My only slightly negative comment is that the rooms and hallways to the rooms are very dark. The rooms could use a little update in the décor. But it was a beautiful hotel and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wish it could have been longer!

Very nice breakfast but dinner is overpriced. Very good service. Tiny bathroom. Quite comfortable bed and good air conditioning. Ideal location. Can walk everywhere! Fabulous iced tea in the lobby which was free and refreshing.

Hotel facilities, room amenities, location, staff - all are good. Spa is nice but not managed properly - sauna takes 30-40 mins to warm up and never reaches the right temp. Sauna is too small. Steam room did not work. But when it works - it does not smell nice. that is why i did not use it this time and the previous time I stayed in this hotel. the pool is nice. My massage got delayed 20 mins and they knew this in advance but nobody bothered to call me. Overall it is a very good hotel, but for the price I would expect a luxury level and better managed spa centre.

We’re having 5 night stays to celebrate hubby’s birthday. We passed many special anniversaries when we stayed in this hotel. And as our stay was always well passed here, without hesitation we let our car in their parking station. Unless, when we got back in paris, we found big scratch on the velg. As my hubby is really love his car, it becomes a deep disappointment. However, it can be happened everywhere. But as long as we travelled from paris-belgium-germany-amsterdam-paris on that short holiday , never had any accident. Thank you.

Definitely a grand hotel. Well located in the old town of Amsterdam and within walking distance to the tourist sites in the old town. The cost was on the high end especially during the tulip season. Our bathroom definitely need more light or change to lighter colored wall tiles. All other amenities are top notch !!
