  Terrific staff, super-clean, very friendly and accomodating - excellent in every way. Location is super- nearby tram stops and plenty of restaurants a short walk away. Short stroll to Van Gogh and Rijks, too !!

  Stayed 5 nights in June '09 and wished we were staying longer. Great location- easy walk to Rijk and VG museums and only a block to the Leidesplein cafes. Bus and tram stops very close to hotel. Hotel was super clean- staff was great. I heartily recommend the Marriott-Amsterdam.

  I really liked the bed. It was certainly the best sleep I'd had all week. The service was good and very upper-class, and the breakfast was nice. Location was excellent because I could walk directly to the Rijks Museum. I really appreciated the Concierge service, too, because I was able to get a ticket to the Museums and forego the 2-hour lines to get in. The room was clean, but they missed small details (an old repair sign left on the back of the door, etc.) Beautiful granite in the bathrooms. Great view of the city, but it was loud.

  Although this hotel has no charm at all (looks like a 60s apartment building conversion) the location is great and the room was DEAD QUIET!! True, we did not overlook the street. We had four in a room (rare in Europe) and the two double beds were SUPER comfortable. Room is adequate size for two adults and two young teens. Hotel is very close to a very nice park for walking or jogging or picnicing or biking, and the Reiksmuseum and van Gogh museum are close. There are frequent trams nearby. There are some good sights close by. Be sure to rent bikes, as they are a blast and you see tons more. It is expensive (we paid $100 for four bikes for two days) but it is worth it. Get the bikes with three gears. It is very safe and fun to use the bike lanes, but watch out for stupid tourists who block you (the Dutch are very patient - I wasn't, even though I've done the same thing myself - but you get to ring the bell a lot - most satisfying). Rent a bike from the hotel. The price is competitive with the commercial places nearby, and they are WAY better looking - no garish colours and big renter IDs on the bike indicating you are a newbie tourist. Be sure to bike out of town along the Amstel to a totally gorgeous little town - on the way see great countryside, lazy river, lazy boats, a drawbridge, two real windmills - round trip including lunch about five hours or so and not tiring at all. Safe to leave bike locked outside at night with thousands of others. I think the hype about theft is just that. In short, good business-class hotel. Fun. English spoken everywhere.

  The hotel rooms used to be old and dated (see my review from 2006). All of the rooms have been renovated to the new Marriott Revive rooms. The lobby is still the same & looks a little worn. I had an excellent room on the top executive floor, facing the back of the hotel which overlooked the courtyard and residential area below. The bathroom had a granite sink counter and nice shower. The room had brand new carpet, flat panel LCD TV, very comfortable bed, digital A/C and heat, digital alarm clock with CD, Internet on TV as well as wireless (for a fee).
  If you have access, the executive lounge is nice and spacious. It's on the top floor with a nice view of Leidseplein and the little Amsterdam "skyline". Free drinks & snacks.
  The location of the hotel is in the nicer, safer, part of Amsterdam, in the Leidseplein area which has a lot of hip bars, clubs, and good restaurants. The Museums (Van Gogh, Rijks, Rembrant) are a short walk. You need to take a short train ride to get to Central Station and the Red Light District area. Anne Frank house also requires a train ride and some walking. Taxis in Amsterdam are not necesarry, they are expensive, most taxis are Mercedes or BMWs and very comfortable. From Central Station take train line 2, or 5 to get to the hotel. The train stop is right in front of the hotel. Rest. & Room Svc. is not great
  The service at the Marriott is a little slow sometimes. They do not seem to be adequately staffed at the front desk. It is expensive to stay here, but Amsterdam is expensive unless you want to stay in a hostel, or go in the middle of winter.
