Fantastic stay in this property with excellent services. The Food and Beverage facilities are amazing and the fine dining restaurant is outstanding. The staff in the restaurant is well knowledgeable and their recommendations were great. The transportation service with Ramon is outstanding.

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.

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.

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.
