Amsterdam De Roode Leeuw

"We’ve just come back from 3 nights away with our toddler and it’s a lovely hotel, so close to the centre it’s unreal. The staff couldn’t do anything wrong and we asked them for a cotbed as our child kept falling out of bed which they immediately brought to the room. The aircon is fantastic, as well as the mini fridge in the room being brilliant for drinks. I’ve given it 4/5 stars due to our room looking nothing like any of the pictures. We stayed in room 422 and it was absolutely tiny. U couldn’t swing a cat in the size of the room. No bath, but they do have tubs they can provide if you’ve got a little one who doesn’t like showers. We get that it’s right in the city centre, but we were all so cramped. Would we stay again? Yes we would! Just not in room 422 due to the space. Maybe if you didn’t have a child it might be better but it was really quiet and spotless. Best thing about this hotel is they let us store our suitcase before we checked in and after we checked out. That is such a bonus especially in the centre."

"We stayed at Hotel Amsterdam De Roode Leeuw last week with my partner and the in-laws for a few days’ city break, and we had a fantastic time. The location was probably one of the best things about the hotel. It’s right in the centre near Dam Square and everything felt like it was on our doorstep - shops, restaurants, cafés and the canals were all just a short walk away. Amsterdam Centraal Station was only around a 10-minute walk, and there’s a tram stop right outside the hotel too, so getting around was incredibly easy. I’d definitely stay here again for the location alone. We were also in Amsterdam for the solar eclipse on the 12th, which made the trip even more memorable. We had tickets for A’DAM Lookout and caught the free ferry from behind Amsterdam Centraal Station across the water. It was incredibly busy because of the eclipse, so we didn’t actually get a chance to go up to the Lookout itself, but we managed to watch the eclipse from down by the harbour instead. The atmosphere was brilliant and it was such a great experience and definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The hotel itself was very clean and comfortable, and the amenities were great. Breakfast had a really good variety and we enjoyed it. The only small thing I’d mention is that some of the breakfast items could have been replenished a little more often, but it certainly didn’t spoil the experience. The customer service was excellent throughout, especially the reception team. I’d contacted them a couple of days before we arrived to organise some amenities and a little thank-you card for my in-laws’ room, and they were absolutely fantastic. Nothing seemed like too much trouble, and everyone we spoke to was friendly, polite and really helpful. Another great touch was the free luggage lockers. Checkout is around 11am, but as our flight wasn’t until 5pm, we were able to leave our luggage securely at the hotel and head out for some last-minute shopping and another wander around the city before leaving. Overall, we had such a lovely stay and a fantastic few days in Amsterdam. The hotel is clean, comfortable and so central, with the canals, shops, restaurants and transport all within easy reach. The location and the excellent customer service really made the stay for us. We’d definitely stay here again!"
