NH Barbizon Palace Hotel

“ The location of this hotel makes it perfect for visiting Amsterdam -we walked out of the central train station and there it was across the square. It is also conveniently close to the canal transport and tram system terminius. All the staff at this hotel were exceptionally helpful and provided friendly yet efficient service-the conceirge did our online check-in with no fuss and printed out the boarding passes and was a mine of information about the many excellent museums/ trips / sights available in Amsterdam. The standard of cleanliness of the hotel could not be faulted.

The main lobby is most attractive and breakfast buffet was well laid out with generous service time especially on Sunday morning.

The only comment is that the decor in our bedroom was somewhat "dated" and could do with a refresh. Having said that it was beautifully clean with a very generous king sized bed and spotless linen.

“ Top Tip: Its difficult to single out any one site but we booked ( through the restaurant's web site ) to eat at Christophe's restaurant some 10 minutes walk away. We were not disappointed -it was superb and we had a memorable meal with very attentive service that was not oppressive.

The floating Chinese restaurant near the central station was also highly impressive -well worth a visit and one can have just a main course or a rewal blow out . Service again was impeccable.

“ I booked this particular hotel because it was central to all the things i wanted to see in Amsterdam and the hotel was only a 5 min walk from the central rail station.

The room was excellent, a very comfortable bed. The breakfast very good, overal a good service from the hotel.

“ Enjoyed the stay I had think 5pm check out was the best think about my stay no worrying about checking out first thing in the morning.

“ check in staff friendly and helpful,any queries dealt with promptly .would stay there again .only five minute walk to train station.

“ Top Tip: if you purchase a day dram ticket .the information office is opposite railway station you can explore the city for a resonable price .its not difficult to find your way back to central station
