Hotel Amsterdam De Roode Leeuw

There is nothing to report about this hotel of a positive nature, although the restaurant looked fairly interesting; however I left as soon as I could in the A.M. though I'd paid for the breakfast buffet.

This hotel is a joke. More like a 1 star sad, rundown flophouse on skidrow, please don't be fooled by the 4 stars. My room smelled of cigarette smoke; the coverlet on the bed was filthy, and the room itself botched as if constructed by mad stonemasons--the drop ceiling looked as if it might crash down at any minute. The carpets are filthy throughout; so I wore slippers to prevent my feet from touching the numerous gum stains. I could not sleep and got up at 3:00 am to wander the streets of Amsterdam looking for alternative acommodations, but everything was booked. a horrible fraud of a hotel staffed with slow staff and filled with street people from the circus-like scene, and a complete nightmare ripoff at 200.00 a night, don't go!

I loved the location of the hotel and the size of the room, which are normally tiny in Amsterdam

I don't like the glass doors on bathrooms

Friendly and helpfull staff

They got a deposit in the amount of 60 euro when we checked in.For me it looks ridiculous and disrespectively in regards to a guest.Moreover deposit has not been deducted while I checked out.

We considered the breakfasts poor value for money

Excellent location more or less on Dam Square. Very comfortable room with street view

Location was fantastic!

Even though I requested a smoking room, the smell was very strong when we walked into the room as if someone had just smoked in it! Also I found a cigarette butt under the desk..

The location, breakfasts.

Billed as a 3-star hotel but doesn't meet that criteria. The location was convenient but in noisy, crowded, high traffic area. Would have preferred a quieter street.

Yes it was very pleasant indeed the staff was welcoming and the hotel was nice and location awesome

I have asked for some information regarding a letter I was due to receive when i was in there.. but till now i havent yet received any reply for several mails ive sent??

I booked a room here based primarily on their having smoking availability. The rooms are tiny! However the staff kindly upgraded me to a superior room which was much larger and acceptable. For the price charged (1200 Euro for 6 nights) I would recommend you choose somewhere else...unless you want a view of a wall and to pay 15 Euro every day on top for breakfast!!

I liked everything about this hotel and would recommend it to others, Staff very helpful and polite, rooms pretty tip top, brilliant location, will definatley staying here again .......

just to mention a slight adjustment to be made with the hairdryer , even though i didnt need it .......

this hotel is in a great location right beside Dam Square

TV didn't work for all channels and couldn't be fixed and hair dryer was useless

It has a wonderful location being right across the road from the Bijenkorf department store and very near Centraal station. There is a mini supermarket nearby. The room was very comfortable.

The hotel actually has a rule about no outside food or drinks in your room which we didn't expect, which explained why the minibar was filled full of stuff (leaving no space for your own).

Nothing. the staff was rude.

The staff was extremely rude to me and my boyfriend. We asked them to come up and fix the internet and they made us pay because they thought we smoked in the room, but we actually did not. I had to pay 100 euros for the "smoke" in the room. When they came into the room to fix the internet, not only did they accuse us of smoking in the room but we got a single room because we did not know that it was only meant for one person, and they yelled at us that we had to switch rooms to a double. At check in the lady asked us how many people will be staying in the room and we said 2 and she gave us no problem. It was their mistake and we got blamed.

The family atmosphere,care and attention of the staff during our stay and looking forward to going back again next year.

Hotel has exelent location for both business and tourist purpose . Fast transport possibility to the airport via Central station .
