Hieronymus Bosch Statue Tours and Activities

We chose the Hotel Okura Amsterdam for its proximity to our daughter's home while we visited her. The location in De Pijp is extremely walkable to many wonderful restaurants and bars. A train station is very close as well. The hotel is fabulous, situated on a canal and beautifully decorated. Lots of comfortable seating in the lobby area to stretch out and wait for friends. Our room was large and very comfortable with a king sized bed, desk, two chairs with a table and a large bath. We opted for spa access with our reservation. The spa is quiet and relaxing and our massages and facials were top-notch. The fitness center is well-equipped, and the pool area is a perfect place to chill after trying the sauna or steam room. Be forewarned that the main sauna and steam room are towels only so if sharing a space with a nude stranger wrapped only in a towel is not your cup of tea, there is a separate, smaller sauna room that requires swimwear. The desk provides robes and towels when you check in and there are separate locker rooms with full amenities, as well as a lounge area with teas and beverages. The staff here is wonderful; everyone we came in contact with was kind and helpful. We will definitely stay at the Hotel Okura Amsterdam again.

The property is fine, however I would not stay there again. No USB in the rooms and rooms quite basic. They had us on the ground floor 3 feet from the road, we had to upgrade and pay more.

My family and I loved our 6-day stay at De L'Europe. From check-in to check-out, it was a wonderful experience. The hotel is wonderfully located at the intersection of two canals, so you have water views on either side and one has easy access to the major tourist sites, restaurants and shopping. The public spaces and rooms are all very clean, the rooms beautifully furnished, and the bathrooms luxuriously appointed. The best part of the experience De L'Europe was the staff who were absolutely top notch. Re restaurants, they have a lovely bar and casual dining restaurant by the canal. They serve a wonderful breakfast, also in a beautiful canal-side restaurant. They also have a Michelin 2-star restaurant on property where we had dinner one night. I must say that I have had better Michelin dining experiences, even at 1-star restaurants, including in Amsterdam. But the staff were wonderful and the wines and non-alcoholic beverages were quite interesting. When we are in Amsterdam again, we would stay, without any hesitation, at the De L-Europe. Highly recommend without any reservation!!
