DoubleTree by Hilton Hotels in Amsterdam

Pros : our room had a View to die for, facing the river, the room was beautiful and clean, comfy bed and pillows that were so comfy. Love the cracking open fire in the bar too, nice to unwind with a glass in front of the fire after a busy day exploring. The hotel is very easy to get to central station via the free ferry that leaves every 10 mins. Would definitely stay here again for Amsterdam exploring. Cons: could do with more tea and coffee (and milk) for the drinks tray. Some soft background music in the hotel and hotel bar would add to the ambience.

Just wow! It's almost the perfect place to stay! It's in the heart of Amsterdam. The room + bathroom are spacious. Dogs are welcome. When you get out from the underground parking, you end up exactly at the hotel entrance. The breakfast is amazing! There are so many choices! Even vegan sausages, bacon, cheese, and butter! The staff is even more amazing, they are so nice, friendly and polite. I have rarely seen such friendliness. The bar with a view on the 11th floor was amazing as well. The DJ was great, and the snacks were delicious! Nor to mention the cocktails! The only thing keeping this from being THE perfect hotel is the fact that there are 0 (zero) accessories in the room. For the price you pay and for the reputation Hilton has, you'd think you'd get at least a shower cap, but no. You'd also think that you'd get a cup for your toothbrush, but wrong again. How about slippers for the cold bathroom floor? Nope, not a pair of slippers either. Nothing. This was quite surprising to me. Even in the most basic hotels, you get these things included in the room. But in a fancy hotel like Hilton, you don't. I can't recommend this hotel enough. It's totally worth it!
