Great hotel with lovely staff who couldn't do enough for you. One point to note, as the hotel is made up of multiple properties, even though there is a lift , most rooms require you to walk up and down some stairs.
Wow. We had an overnight in Amsterdam and thought we’d stay in the canal area. So glad we did. What a gorgeous hotel. Perfectly quirky, full of art in every space with a restaurant and bar, and several reading rooms. Our room was comfortable and well-designed for a small space. Bathroom was large though and included towel heaters. I’d recommend and stay here again. It’s truly lovely.
Fabulous stay! Location, Location, Location. Staff excellent, looked after well & great recommendations. Bistro also can rate highly, meal was superb. Bravo to all.
The room was beautiful, overlooking the canal and the Light festival installation. It was clean and a good size. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The hotel is in a great location. Would definitely stay here again.
Small boutique hotel located in a great area to explore the neighborhood. Staff provided exceptional customer service. They offer a 1:1 guided tour. I booked the two hour walkable tour which was very interesting and the guide was extremely knowledgeable.
I highly recommend!

Room was very nice; staff was friendly and helpful. Even surprised my husband with a bottle of champagne for his birthday.
A distinctive hotel which certainly gave the feeling of what it must have been like to live in the narrow cramped houses of old Amsterdam. Charming staff and excellent food.
Fabulous visit. Really appreciate the excellent location and small boutique vibe. Would book Room 83 again - Canal views. Bathroom shower spacious. Big sunny windows and sitting space. Library bar and Art - a treat. Breakfast pricey but food choices well done. Staff warm and friendly.
We loved staying at the Ambassade Hotel. The staff were wonderful and very attentive. The location was ideal, quiet, and centrally located for visiting the local sites. The rooms were a good size with comfortable beds and amenities and great air conditioning for a few hot days when we visited.
I would absolutely stay here again when visiting Amsterdam.
