The Toren Amsterdam by The Pavilions

Great stay! The hotel is beautiful and in a great location. The staff was very helpful. The bar is great - they have really good food and drinks and even happy hour.

Very old and unique, however it had steps everywhere and lack handicap accessibility. Staff was excellent, friendly and welcoming. Was very expensive.

If my heaven were a hotel, this would be it. Gorgeous historic building, sumptuous linens, super helpful and friendly desk attendants and bar/restaurant staff, and a terrific location for exploring. When I arrived, it was very cold and drizzling, but I was welcomed warmly and immediately taken up to my lovely room. The room included a huge deep tub, which felt amazing after a transcontinental flight, and while I soaked, the built-in towel warmer made the super-fluffy towels extra cozy. (Water pressure and heat was excellent, btw, which isn't always the case w/ historic properties.) Basics like the bed, room temp, lighting, WIFI, and clothing storage were all thoughtfully appointed and perfectly functioning. No noise issues. I appreciated the in-room espresso set up, and room service was quick and delicious for the one meal I had through the hotel restaurant. The bar area was comfy and chic -- velvet reading chairs and little cafe tables. I wished I'd had more time to enjoy it. Location felt very safe to use as a home base, which was important to me as a solo female traveler. In the evenings, walking back to the hotel was a treat, as you could glimpse stunning interiors inside the beautiful old townhomes all along the canal. A few blocks in one direction was a charming street full of small bistros and shops; the other direction led to the 'Nine Streets' area, which is full of shopping delights and cute restaurants. I would stay here again in a second. Fabulous.

We had a great time. Stayed here for two nights and staff was extremely friendly. Clean hotel. Quiet. Would definitely return.
