Great hotel very close to the Royal Palace and Dam square. Walking distance to all the main attractions. Lovely and quiet area. Great hotel, friendly staff and very nice rooms. Breakfast had a large variety of foods and very nice.

Stylish hotel in a great location to see all of Amsterdam on foot. Couldn’t ask for more! Maybe a canal view would have been nicer but probably not worth the extra as we spent such little time in our room. Had a great time.

The location was fantastic. Whilst public transport was an option, we chose to walk to all the key locations as they were pretty close. Our walks allowed us to see more of Amsterdam and explore the city.

This hotel is located on a quiet block halfway between the central railway station and the museums (Van Gogh, Rijksmuseum), in the middle of the historic part of Amsterdam. Very convenient for our trip. We were able to walk everywhere. We arrived late, and thankfully were helped with the kiosk check in that some people have made remarks about. Have your reservation number(s) handy... The breakfast was superb with a wide selection of everything (both English and continental). A machine that makes mini pancakes is rather special :-) We were 2 adults and 3 kids and were able to get connecting rooms. The beds were very firm, but surprisingly comfortable even so. The rooms were nice and comfortable. They were on the 5th floor in the back and were quiet all through the weekend. No complaints really. Nits: We never understood the air conditioning controls, but were not bothered enough to call the front desk. The shower soap pump was defective in one of the rooms; The front desk supplied a new one within minutes. There were some marks on one of the walls, but not enough to break the wallpapering. Some words on the booking process: Getting the connecting rooms was an adventure. Radisson has a very effective central booking function which very effectively deflected with "connecting rooms are subject to availability" and also sometimes "none are available" and prevented contact with the hotel about this. So I had given up on that. Fortunately we had one request in the booking that made the person allocating rooms contact us and she was able to change our booking and arrange connecting rooms (Thanks!!!). I think Radisson Blu made this a stupidly high hurdle and should be able to accommodate families better. A request like like "We'd like connecting rooms and are willing to change our reservations to accommodate this" might also work.

Excellent location. Clean and modern room. Staff great. Blond lady in bar(sorry forgot her name)was Excellent customer services. Breakfast was nice and hot. Bathroom modern . No issues at all with hotel. If first time to city this great hotel in the middle of it all. Thanks again Radisson.
