This hotel is central and close enough for convenient trips to the dam. A fantastic location just a short walk away from Leidsplein, the Herengeraacht canal and the Dam Square. It is also close to the tourist site of Anne Frank's house. The hotel is situated directly on a quiet canal street, and close to the main street of Central Amsterdam. The hotel room was quite small but adequate for a short stay. The bathroom was large and there was a good view of the canal . The hotel's staff are generally pleasant and well-mannered, although there are some who seem casual and less helpful and professional. The breakfast provided by the hotel was sometimes out of items and had some poorer quality items available. The price for the food is reasonable. The shower in the bathroom was very hot and not attached appropriately. Management dealt with this when confronted.
For this trip to 'the dam' we wanted to be a bit more central, and we hit jackpot with this hotel. Right next to a canal, its around 5 mins walk to Dam square, and the same to Jordaan or the Nine Little Lanes. Leidsplein and other more interesting parts are also just a short walk away. The hotel itself is ok, it has a grand entrance hall with a reception desk staffed by smiley staff members. The room was quite small, but large enough to cope with for just a few nights, but as the city was so close we hardly spent any time in there anyway. The staff were helpful, offering advice about what to see and do, and happy to look after cases after we checked out and went to get some lunch. Would stay here again.

Stayed with friends on a business trip and the key to our room didnt work till after 6 attemps of the manager making new ones. it took 2 hours to get this sorted making us late for the important meeting we had and the deal fell through costing us a fortune. Next morning, the shower came alive and flew of the wall like a firemans hose, scallding each of us and having finally sorting this dangerous problem, we arrived 10 minutes late for breakfast and staff wouldnt serve us. staff then kept us waiting half an hour to check out with no real apoligy for our inconvieniences.staff very laid back and unintrested. All in all a big dissapointment. Scallding cobra shower very dangerous.BE WARNED

This hotel is exceptional. For a 3 star Euro hotel the rooms are huge, the views of the canal (Herengeraacht) outside are atmospheric, the location, despite being very quiet is a pleasant 10 minute stroll to Dam Square, and only 5 minutes to Anne Franks House. The staff were very helpful and friendly despite the fact we turned up at gone midnight a little wiped from our day in Amsterdam. For the price this hotel really is head and shoulders above its peers, which in Amsterdam can be very seedy. Always stay here when in the `Dam.

Don't fall for the scam of 'local tax' when checking out. Fifty euro deposit is taken when checking in for 'incidental' expenses. They then try and hold most of it back when you are leaving saying it is a local tax. We paid fully for our trip through a travel agent in UK before travelling so if the hotel have a problem with that they should take it up with them. Kick up a stink like we did and they will back down though. It makes you wonder how many people have been conned with this trick?

We stayed at the Rembrandt Residence Hotel in April 2006. We found the hotel to be in a good location and our room was quite large. Bathrooom was also very big. We had a view of the canal which was wonderful although we could not figure out how to lock the windows. We were on the 2nd floor so it was not a problem. The staff was very pleasant and we enjoyed our stay. We would stay here again. We thought the breakfast was a little less than we expected.

The hotel is in a very good location, just off a main street in central Amsterdam, on a quiet canal street. It is a 3 star hotel which may account for the stained carpeting, thin towels, and some snooty reception staff. The breakfast, although a reasonable price, was consistently out of items, had stale pastries and funny tasting eggs. Some of the rooms are tiny, so try to request a large room, if the staff will indulge your request.

We spent 2 nights at the Rembrandt and found it to be comfortable and clean and in a fantastic location. It was quietly situated but within easy reach of everything we needed. Our rate included breakfast and a boat trip and staff were friendly and helpful. The room wasn't huge but for a 3* hotel in a central location it was great. We would definitely stay again.

First time in Europe - good size room and bathroom, clean, lots of light, comfy bed what more could you want! Would stay again if went back to Amsterdam.
