I couldn't ask for a more comfortable, hospitable, trustworthy staff than the group I met at this hotel. Not only was the hotel easy to find, it was in the middle of everything I wanted to explore in Amsterdam. I stayed 3nights and 4days for my 35th birthday in one of the two private rooms. I had my own double bed and bathroom. Wi-Fi wasn't too great on the top floor, but less communication while on vacation is enough communication for me! Besides, Amsterdam is a walking Hotspot. The cleaning staff never bothered me while in my room. When they saw you leave the hotel, that's when they cleaned your room. I didn't have to leave a card hanging from the door like most hotels, only to still hear a knock at 8am - that was Awesome! I lost...okay, forgot a whole day while talking with the staff and other locals at the bar downstairs. The conversation was like an episode of Cheers, and I lost count of my drinks, and woke up the next afternoon in my bed fully clothed - Trust me it was worth it! All in all, this hotel is awesome. I'm not sure what the previous bad reviews were all about. Maybe they were expecting the Hilton/Marriot?! But in a city this old, why would you want to stay in a high priced hotel? Coming from New Orleans, which is another old city with a lot history, Amsterdam is by far is my 2nd home. And I couldn't have enjoyed it without the Hotel Internationaal staff.
Take care - Semper Fi!!!
