What guests think

Travellers describe Renaissance Amsterdam Hotel as centrally located near Amsterdam Centraal with generally friendly, helpful staff, but ongoing renovations frequently cause daytime noise, detours and some closed or makeshift facilities, affecting value for certain stays.

Many rooms are newly renovated, modern and comfortable, though several guests found them small, dark, or noisy, with thin walls or interior-facing windows. Cleanliness feedback is mixed: plenty of comments praise very clean rooms and public areas, while others report odors, stained carpets, hair left behind, or incomplete housekeeping. Breakfast and the bar/lounge draw both praise and criticism, ranging from excellent variety and service to crowded spaces, limited options, or closed venues during works. Overall, it suits city break travellers more than those seeking a tranquil, full-service resort feel.

The best thing about this hotel is its location, as it really is only a 3 minute walk from the train station, however there are more negatives than positives about this hotel. It is currently under renovation (which we were not made aware of at the time of booking), the gym was closed and all the gym equipment was in the bar area that was also closed but you walked through, to get to the breakfast area. A temporary reception had been put up as the main reception was also closed, and the staff weren't particularly helpful. The room was clean but unbelievably dark, we stayed there for 3 nights and we had to ask for the coffee to be refilled every day as well as the bottled water. We made a complaint about the room and the hotel to the manager as we had paid full price to stay at the hotel, even though its under renovation and all they gave us was complimentary access to the club lounge (not worth it). I would not stay here again, i'd recommend the Victoria Hotel, which we visited, the staff were friendly and from the reception and bar it looked a better class of hotel. I would NOT recommend the Renaissance hotel

This hotel is having a large refurbishment reception is in basement. Room access is poor. There is no natural light, even in our room which looked out on the work taking place. Emergency exits were not clearly marked due to the work in hand. There was no sign of a staircase should the lifts fail. Really disappointing especially as it was premium price.

Hotellet har ett mycket bra läge, nära både centralstationen och centrum med fina personal. Rummen är fina och nyrenoverade, vilket ger en fräsch känsla. Tyvärr håller restaurangen och club loungen inte samma nivå – de är klart under förväntan och borde vara betydligt bättre för ett hotell som marknadsför sig som femstjärnigt.

The hotel is undergoing refurbishment but seems to be mostly complete. The beautiful bar was not open but opens in two days so 11th March I believe. The staff and lobby are is beautiful with a nice cafe on the side. The walk is less than 10 minutes from the train station and in a nice area quite a lot less noisy than the main streets just nearby. The hotel room was stunning and modern with a lovely seat to look out of the windows which includes an automatic blind. The shower and bath were impeccably clean and powerful which was excellent. The tv single was intermittent on all channels not sure if that was just my room but not required as there is so much nearby. The hotel was very peaceful and I can’t wait to return

This hotel hid the fact that it was under major construction. Guests were never informed about limited or unavailable facilities, and communication was evasive at best. The noise was unbearable—making breakfast, business calls, or even rest impossible. When confronted, staff were dishonest and unhelpful. I travel often and have never experienced such deceptive treatment. Avoid this hotel. A Disaster… the staff is ridiculously inept at respecting guests.

While they warned about the construction, the hotel looks very different from what’s expected. While outdated is fine, we could hear every word the people in the next room were saying, our room had so many fruit flies the second we walked in. We did not bring any food to the room. Our phone didn’t work in the room so i was unable to call for towels and had to walk all the way downstairs to get them. The gym is a conference room. I checked in early and the man was very nice and helpful but the room wasn’t ready. I came back a few hours later and the woman said they didn’t have a record of me. She then did find my room but then couldn’t find my luggage i had stored earlier. When the luggage was finally found there was no one to help me with my bags. The location is good but overall would not stay there again during the renovation.

I recently enjoyed a four-night stay at the Renaissance Amsterdam Hotel. It appears to be newly renovated, as the environment is fresh and modern. The service was also excellent, with staff being attentive and helpful throughout my stay. The hotel's location is also a major plus. It is very close to Amsterdam Central Station, making it easy to get around the city. It is also within walking distance of the shopping district and Dam Square. However, there were a couple of minor drawbacks. The room was a bit dim, even with the lights on. Additionally, there was a persistent unpleasant odor in the bathroom, which was a bit of a nuisance. Overall, I had a pleasant stay at the Renaissance Amsterdam Hotel. The hotel's modern ambiance, excellent service, and convenient location outweighed the minor issues I encountered. I would recommend this hotel to others looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in Amsterdam.

The walls between each room are paper thin and you can hear the other occupants. The room I was in should neverhave been made available to guest's. There was construction going on outside from 7am which shook the room. Also builder could see straight into the room with the blinds up.

All of the amenities listed, you have to go and ask the reception for it. Water - you have to go to the front desk and grab it yourself. They don’t place it in your room. Had to call and ask to get bathrobes for my room 3 times. The WiFi didn’t work for me. The room they booked me in at first is smaller then the one on the pictures and the windows are facing indoors - into the bar area. The rooms are nicely renovated though.

We booked in last-minute after our original accomodation fell through. My sister was unwell, but the concierge team was wonderful looking after her while I got us checked in nice and fast with the Reception staff; we were really looked after amazingly well, from a room upgrade to extra ice for my sister. We really appreciated all the extra effort! Even while there are renovations, it is quiet and clean, the facilities are top-notch and everyone was so kind and caring. A wonderful experience!
