We stayed 1 night with the family and were lucky to have received an upgrade for the room. It was a wonderful experience for us and an epic one for the kids. Hotel, room and service were magnificent. We felt a bit like Kevin in the Plaza in NY. Spoiled.

I had a excellent night, helped by the butler service and the sofitel bed. I made the hotel tour which is interesting to understand the history of the walls. Bar has a good selection of drinks, don't hesitate to ask the barman to discover new things. My only regret is due to my flight delay, I didn't have time to enjoy the restaurant.

Robert H Couples - 12/04/2019 TripAdvisor review

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.

Mark A Business - 01/04/2019 TripAdvisor review

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.

I would like to thank you for choosing Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam again and describing your experience here on TripAdvisor. It is a pleasure to read that you enjoyed your stays in our hotel and it makes me proud of the entire team in The Grand when I read how you experienced our service.

Compass27369030362 Couples - 18/12/2018 TripAdvisor review

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.

Your valuable feedback is much appreciated and we have shared these lovely comments with the entire team.

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.

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.

Terrific Hotel

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

photowagner Family - 15/08/2018 TripAdvisor review

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.

Dear guest, What a pleasure to read your review about The Grand on Tripadvisor ! It is with great pride that I read your wonderful comments about our team, they get a lot of satisfaction from guests who show their appreciation.

Wedding anniversary at De Grand

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

H9024LBrobw Couples - 10/07/2018 TripAdvisor review

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.

Dear guest, We were thrilled to welcome you for your recent wedding anniversary and thank you so much for your kind words. I very much appreciate all your comments and I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed an impeccable experience. We are looking forward to welcome you back soon to The Grand ! With kind regards, Remco Groenhuijzen General Manager

What a beautiful hotel!

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

PhiladelphiaKaren Couples - 08/07/2018 TripAdvisor review

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!

Dear guest, Your kind words are very much appreciated and we would like to thank you for sharing them on TripAdvisor. We have noted your comment about the slightly dark hallways and rooms. Please rest assured that should we decide to renovate the rooms and hallways we will definitely take your remark in consideration. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back soon at Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam. With kind regards, Remco Groenhuijzen General Manager
