Top 10 Reasons Why We Love The Ambassade Hotel:
10. Nice modern bathrooms.
9. It's on the Herengracht Canal and away from the younger tourist insanity.
8. Some rooms have their own entrances--it's like having your own apartment in Amsterdam.
7. Free internet in rooms and they also have a computer that guests can use to check email if you didn't bring your own laptop.
6. It's quiet and elegant.
5. 24 hour room service for drinks, snacks, and ice!
4. Romantic canal views can make any stay feel like a second honeymoon.
3. Each room is unique. Will you have a winding staircase? A balcony overlooking the canal?
2. The beds are very comfy. It's delightful to sleep in with the morning breeze coming in from the open window.
1. The staff! They are extremely helpful, discrete and make great restaurant recommendations. I spent 8 months organizing a group of friends to travel to Amsterdam to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. The staff was attentive to every email question and had great suggestions.

We hope to be back at the Ambassade again very soon.

Spent three nights here in early May. I just read the last few reviews and see no point in repeating what others have eloquently said already. I just wanted to add my 2 cents worth and say that this is a wonderful hotel that reflects its city. Well worth the expense.

I decided to make a last minute solo trip to Amsterdam for the weekend and chose the Ambassade based on a recommendation by conde nast traveller. I booked the last available room, a single, which was comfortable and well appointed, but without a canal view. When I inquired about the availability of a canal view, they moved me to a junior suite for an additional 50 euros, which overlooked the herengracht canal and was well worth the price. The room was well appointed, with a soft pillowtop bed, small rear facing balcony, and a sitting room with a lovely large desk and 3 huge windows overlooking the canal. The bedroom was well decorated with some great furniture, flat screen tv, and some really cool art, which is a hallmark of the hotel. The location in the nine streets was ideal, close to the tourist attractions but with a quiet, residential feel in what must be one of Amsterdam's more fashionable neighborhoods.
I didn't do breakfast in the hotel, there is a super cafe on the corner, Odette's, with excellent breakfast and lunch, outdoor seating and great views of Hollanders going about their daily lives on wheels. I have previously stayed at the Dylan and the Pulitzer, and truly preferred the Ambassade for its hominess for half the price, though it lacks the restaurants, common areas, lounges of the others. If you are looking for a scene, this isn't it, I'm 32, and must have been half the average age. But it was perfect for a quick, quiet getaway.
