Wonderful location next to the canal. Brief walk to the museums like Van Gogh, Moco, Rijks. Close to tram lines that will take you to the other city attractions. Around there are a gazillion lovely eateries. This mid-century modern charming facility with stain glass windows in the restaurant serving excellent food and cocktails made our Amsterdam 8 day stay relaxing. Their concierge is helpful. The staff gave us free drinks and appetizers to make up for a shortcoming in our room--we appreciated the gesture. Overall, I will definitely chose this hotel for future Amsterdam visits,

I stayed in Clayton Hotel, the exterior of the building is historic, but the inside is very modern and maintained well. I took one star off on service as the staffs at the buffet restaurant are kind of impatient, I waited 45 minutes for my omelette, after all. Think they are understaffed at the restaurant. One waitress was screaming at another one publicly when they got busy. Anyway, it’s a great stay after all

Location was perfect and you can walk everywhere! Tram was steps away from the hotel if you wanted to get to some place quick. You can also hop onto a canal boat cruise right in front of the hotel. Our dbl room was enough for my spouse and I to be comfortable in. Bed is super comfy and clean. Amazing!

It is a nice hotel with good breakfast options for guests. The room was spacious and nicely decorated. I did not like the bathroom design, without a shelf to place my toiletries. The main sink for washing face and brushing teeth was in the main room. That is bizarre.

Smells in hallway and room. Room was dark even with lights on and blinds opened. Staff was friendly but lacked tools such as handheld suit case scale to help foreign travelers. Overpriced for what you received. Location of hotel was good.
