What guests think

At Hotel Amsterdam De Roode Leeuw, travellers praise the unbeatable central location near Dam Square and transport and generally friendly staff, while noting compact rooms, very small bathrooms, and that ongoing renovations have at times caused early-morning noise.

Cleanliness is often rated good, though several reports cite housekeeping misses and dust or debris during works. Facilities draw mixed feedback: handy luggage lockers, but a small slow lift and recurring AC or heating problems were mentioned. Some guests heard noise through thin walls, while others found rooms quiet; superior rooms are roomier, and views were sometimes blocked by scaffolding. Expect a super-central stay with trade-offs in space and occasional disruption.

Very centrally located, but the building is a little tired, though clean. Central location comes with some noise and with the elevator out of service for part of my stay and my room being next to the stairs, it got pretty noisy with everyone using them. Bed was comfortable and staff were very friendly and helpful though.

The hotel itself was very nice, and the staff were helpful throughout our stay. However, I’m giving a lower rating because our experience was significantly impacted by early morning construction noise. Out of the three days we stayed, two were disrupted by loud construction starting as early as 7:00 AM. I raised the issue with the manager, but was told there was nothing they could do. Even starting at 10:00 AM would have allowed us a few extra hours of much-needed rest. This trip was meant to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, and unfortunately, being woken up so early each morning really took away from the experience. To make matters worse, we had traveled from New York and were already dealing with a six-hour time difference. It just wasn’t the relaxing getaway we had hoped for.

Room has everything you need including air conditioning and a fridge. Location is great. Right at Dam Square. The canals are close. The café and the restaurants are all down the street.

I arrived at the hotel during New Year's Eve, we checked in and went up to the room, the room is small and terribly decorated, the bathroom door doesn't open all the way because the bed blocks it, the safe didn't work and after I was told by the reception that the technician would arrive in an hour, he didn't arrive until the next day. The cleaning sucks, they don't clean anything except changing towels and making the bed, I had to leave a note for them to change the sheets!!! And the sheets they replaced were stained, not recommended at all.

The location of the hotel is phenomenal. It's adjacent to Dam square, McDonald's and Albert hijn right next door. Walking proximity to Amsterdam centraal train station and there are trams right outside the front door to take you to almost anyplace you want to go. The room is super clean. The bed is extremely comfortable BUT... The pillows were terrible, hard as rocks. Room is ridiculously small with a king bed, barely any room to move. The shower had no curtain or doors so entire bathroom gets a bit wet when showering. Shout out to Livvy who was fantastic at check-in and Stephanie was great getting us a cab to schipol airport for $60 euros when Uber was 134 euros. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

I had a superior city view room on the third floor - room was a good size, with good facilities, but the bathroom was very small, and there isn't really anywhere to unpack your clothes aside from a very narrow wardrobe. A bit noisy at night, but to be expected from a central location in a city like Amsterdam. Overall, a good hotel, but a little expensive, and could do with a bigger bathroom.

The hotel room is quite good. Very high ceilings, modern-decorated room, really comfy bed. The location is very central. However, the internet is outstandingly poor! When you lie down on the bed, there is just no WiFi signal! Overall, it is barely usable with speeds around 5-7 Mbit. Also, there is no kettle and tea. Just a coffee machine and a few coffee capsules. I had to ask reception to bring it in. Should I also mention there is a lift, however, I waited for 2 minutes and it did not come to my floor. That happened twice and I never used it afterwards (gave up on it). Overall, I am not sure it was worth such a high price tag.

There’s no ledge to keep the water contained and the shower is small with only a curtain. I didn’t enjoy mopping up. The rest of the room was fine, with handy fridge and coffee maker. Bottled water would be a plus, but there’s a convenience store a couple of doors down. I never got to eat in the restaurant but it looked very nice. You can walk to the train station to get to the airport, no problem!

The room was spacious and very clean—perfect for a solo traveler. The hotel is centrally located, right in the heart of the tourist area, which is convenient if you want to be close to the action (though it may not suit those seeking a quieter atmosphere). Unfortunately, my stay was quite noisy. Construction outside the window began as early as 7 AM, and the walls seemed quite thin—you could hear neighboring doors opening and closing, phone alarms from adjacent rooms, and other sounds throughout the night.

The hotel and room was lovely, modern “, spacious and clean. The staff were helpful and the location was perfect. We had a superior room with “city view”. To call a view of another building, and rooftops with scaffolding a city view is wrong, so I would suggest the description of some rooms are amended. The photographs of said rooms are misleading as it made me think that I would be at the front of the hotel, with a balcony. We were actually at the side of the hotel, with no balcony. We weren’t at the hotel much, so it didn’t spoil it, but I did feel slightly disappointed as I was excited for a nice view. When I called reception, the lady apologised and said there was nothing she could do as the other rooms were fully booked.

Overall good. We checked in late due to a delayed flight in Schiphol. Got checked in quickly. Remember that there is a surcharge called city tax which is paid at the counter when checking in. The area can be a bit noisy but it wasn't too bad for us. Our baby was given a comfy cot and slept well. However the service team was not well coordinated and hadn't prepared the cot before we arrived. It took a quarter or so before they came in and set up the cot and sheets. Alla in all a good stay for us.

Staff said they would place a pad on top but that didn’t end up happening. Working AC. Construction is still ongoing but did not bother us. Staff was very approachable. Overall was still a good stay. The location made up for all the inconveniences.

I got a comfort room in the 2nd floor, hallway smells a bit funny. Keylock to access the hotel is good. Even comfort room is a bit small, not really room to properly unfold the suitcase. If you're medium tall you won't be able to sit normally on the toilet, your knees will hit the wall. Somewhat easy to hear into the hallway. I was charged the wrong amount on the city tax. Don't know how that happens really. Nothing in the minibar, need to fill it yourself, and the room looks good in terms of decoration. Helpful reception, easy access to Centraal Station.

The only thing that was disappointing is that we were not told of the renovation works that were ongoing. However we would stay here again (but would just check no works were scheduled before booking!)

Både rummen var fina och sängerna bekväma. Det fanns dock 2 saker som ett 4-stjärning hotel bör vara bättre på och dessa är: 1. Toalettartiklar- det fanns endast tvål, alltså ingen schampo/balsam. 2. Hotellfrukost- den var på bottennivå, väldig enkel och dyr. Inga påfyllningar av produkter, brödet var hård,äggröran verkade ofräsch liksom gulsoten. Sammanfattningsvis var vi nöjda med vistelsen dock så förväntas det mer av ett 4-stjärning hotell.
