We had booked a Junior Suite for just a night. It was a large room with a high ceiling, nicely furnished but quite odd. We checked in early and the front desk did warn us that the available room at that time was a bit funky and had stairs. The oddest design was that the toilet and shower areas were separate and at different levels. The toilet only had 2 small towels and no hand soap or lotion. The AC could just not cool the room enough and they brought in a couple of fans which helped. The room was right next to the street so we could hear people talking as they walked by. Luckily it did not seem like a very busy street. The staff was friendly and we were assigned a 'butler'. I am not exactly sure what was the purpose and how contacting him would be any different than calling the front desk. Anyway, he did help us get the fans for the room. We did not eat at their restaurant.

I recently stayed at the Sofitel Hotel in Amsterdam, expecting a luxurious experience given its 5-star rating. Unfortunately, it was anything but. For a 5-star hotel, I was shocked to find that the shampoo and body wash bottles didn’t have locks. I understand the importance of recycling, but reusing bottles for hand soap, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner without proper seals is unacceptable and unhygienic. The rooms were absolutely filthy. There was black mold on the ceilings, which is a serious health hazard. The beds were disgusting, and the carpets were equally appalling. To make matters worse, when my wife and I arrived at our room, we discovered that someone else was already in it! Every night, despite having a “Do Not Disturb” sign on our door, hotel staff knocked and brought us food we didn’t order. The service was atrocious, and nobody ever apologized for any of the inconveniences we faced. This was by far the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. The rooms were filthy, the service was terrible, and I would never, ever consider returning. Save your money and avoid this place at all costs.

Not a luxurious experience
The great, staff are friendly and kind. The staff at the lounge bar are especially exceptional. The rooms are very clean and the toiletries are lovely. Bedding is nice. The bad, really hot rooms. It was stifling in our room. Not just warm but stifling. The air conditioning wouldn’t work. They sent someone up and it worked until we turned it off when leaving the room by removing the card to turn off the power, after that it wouldn’t come back on. There was also construction being done on the building that started at 6:45am. We didn’t have a good sleep at all any of the four nights we were there. Location is great and it’s a beautiful building but it was not a great experience and I do regret spending extra to stay there.
