Dissapointing Hotel
Posted Nov 25, 2013Pros: Location
Cons: Everything needs improved! otherwise, the hotel needs to drastically reduce it's rates and star classification.
Dissapointing. I booked this hotel for the location and for 5-star facilities - I paid a 5-star rate too, based on the lovely photos online. Location is great, everything is on the doorstep. However, the hotel is very dated, particularly in the room and corridors. The room was worn out and badly needs renovated, it was also cold - I had to ask for extra blankets as there is no way to regulate the temperature for heating (thermostat is AC only). Bathroom was pretty old and worn too, tiles were moudly due to poor ventilation. Shower head was loose - and hose was leaking. Staff and reception area are good, and the rooms are clean. If you get offered a good deal, then maybe worth booking for the location, otherwise not worth it. This hotel is a 3 star at a push!

Posted Nov 22, 2013Very good overall, was not expecting the hotel tax though. Perhaps this could be informed to me in advance.

Great Hotel
Posted Nov 17, 2013I was hesitant choosing this hotel because I didn't know if the location would of been good. I'm SO GLAD I CHOOSE THIS HOTEL! It's close to major things and its right across the central train station (very convenient when getting to and leaving Amsterdam). Also did 2 excursions and the bus pick was literally right in front of hotel. The concierge was always helpful. We booked 2 excursions right with the concierge (they called and booked everything) and they even printed out tickets (didn't even have to redeem them or anything). I would definitely stay here again!

Business trip to Amsterdam
Posted Nov 15, 2013Pros: Location
Cons: Rooms needs to be renovated especially the TVs and entertainment system.
Location: Excellent location near the central station and immediately next to the shopping and restaurants areas.
IT was a pleasant stay in Barbizon Palace; no major issue to complain about.

Great hotel, very centrally located! Within walking distance to almost everything. Get the breakfast included in your stay - it is definitely worth it!

Good central hotel
Posted Oct 23, 2013Pros: Location was brilliant,breakfast was plentiful and staff helpful
Cons: Rectify the confusion regarding smoking.Reduce the breakfast price.Also promote the cycle hire which was available
Location: 5 minutes walk from Central Station,tram and metro stations.Lots of good restaurants nearby and 10 minutes walk from Dam Square the heart of the city
Hotel is ideally suited for those flying or coming by train,5 minute walk from Central Station.We did take a taxi from the airport on our arrival as we were late and tired this cost 55euros as against a rail fare of 8.80E on our outward trip.The breakfast was ordered but was expensive and was double the price of a nearby restaurant.We ordered a smoking room and there was a smell of cigarette in the room and corridor but there was a notice displayed that a charge of 350E would be levied if we smoked in the room?We only smoked outside.
