“Hotel Amsterdam De Roode Leeuw impresses with its historical ambiance and prime location right off Dam Square, but some aspects seem to fall short of a true four-star experience. While the rooms boast high ceilings and modern decor, reports of unreliable internet and inconsistent amenities raise concerns about value relative to price. In my opinion, the hotel presents an interesting blend of old-world charm and contemporary updates, yet attention to detail could elevate it further.”

central location train station friendly staff small room cramped bathroom missing pillows
I found the hotel very centrally located. The proximity to the train station made travel easy. The restaurant had great food, and I found the staff friendly. The location made it easy to walk to many attractions.
I thought the room was quite small. There was barely enough space to move around. The bathroom was also very cramped. I also noted that there were no extra pillows in the room.

convenient location helpful staff comfortable bed limited light small bathroom street noise
The location was really convenient. It was close to many attractions. The staff at the front desk was always available and ready to assist. My room included a comfortable bed. It definitely provided a good night's sleep.
My room was facing an inner courtyard, so there wasn't much natural light. The bathroom was quite small, and there was limited counter space. The noise from the street at night was noticeable. It made sleeping difficult at times.

small room poor insulation
The staff were helpful. They stored my bag. That part was fine.
The room was quite small, almost claustrophobic. The bathroom was even smaller. I practically hugged the walls while trying to use the toilet. I could hear everything happening in the hallway and other rooms. Sound insulation looked to be an afterthought.
