This hotel offers many of the pure Amsterdam attributes: it is a series of canal houses at one of the most beautiful canals. The location means it is quiet (cars don't drive down the canal streets unless they really have to), and still very centrally located. The rooms aren't large, but offer great views to the Herengracht. The bathroom was... more

We stayed here for a week in October while visiting friends and family in Amsterdam. The hotel staff were very helpful in planning our days and also with restaurant reservations. The hotel is in a terrific location. While we tried other places for breakfast, their breakfast is very good and you are able to eat leisurely or quickly which is... more

This hotel is a real antidote to the bland modern corporate hotels you find all over the world (and also in Amsterdam). Every room is different and our group had three rooms - all very different, all very nice. This is not really a business hotel so it is far more suited to holidays and weekend breaks. The location on... more

Plusses- Great location- handy for canal belt, Jordaan, Nine Streets, and centruum Very friendly and helpful staff- probably the best that I've encountered at any Amsterdam hotel Clean room with Comfortable bed and good shower Negatives- Tiny, tiny room which is shabby rather than shabby chic- no fridge, no wardrobe(!?), no storage at all in fact, small windows. Very claustrophobic... more

I stayed at the Ambassade Hotel (in room 63) for 2 nights in August and loved it. Room 63 is a delux canal-facing room and it was perfect. The windows are huge and open up right over the canal, which was beautiful. I had called up prior and asked for a newly renovated room, which had been suggested on this... more

Just be careful ate at night to remember which side of the canal the hotel is on, if you forget, you may be wandering around for a while. Free Internet and a... more

We stayed at the Hotel Ambasssade for just over a week in early April 2008. Having stayed there before in 1989 and 2006 the hotel hadn't changed. We got a room overlooking the Singel on the 1st floor although our preference was for a room overlooking the Herengracht. The room wasn't overly spacious (we had 4 bags due to our... more

My wife and I had made reservations at another hotel for our first Amsterdam visit, but a sale and renovations forced us to make new arrangements. Fortunately we were redirected to the Ambassade. Our comfortable room was on the fourth floor overlooking the Herengracht, and it was close to a lift. The staff were most attentive and helpful, and the... more

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... more
