DoubleTree by Hilton Amsterdam Centraal Station
Staff on reception were great and the room was clean and very comfortable. Food wasn’t great in the restaurant or room service and waiting staff were rude and unhelpful in both the rooftop bar and ground floor restaurant. Overall- great to stay but eat elsewhere 😊
