Kimpton De Witt Amsterdam, An Ihg Hotel

“Great hotel in Amsterdam”

Great hotel. Excellent service and breakfast buffet.

Great hotel. Excellent service and breakfast buffet. For breakfast, ask for the poached eggs with avocado: you won’t be disappointed and it’s included in the cost (but you have to ask your server for it). Especially the concierges: Duke and Burt especially wonderful. Ideal location. They lend free bikes too and give very clear travel tips. I would stay here again no question.

“A wonderful place to stay!”

This hotel was very nice! The staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were very clean and spacious. It was in a great location and had lots of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops nearby, including on-site. I would highly recommend this hotel!

“Outstanding hotel and location”

Absolutely outstanding stay. Seriously above and beyond. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We had made an error when booking and accidentally booked two rooms when we only needed one. They kindly deleted the extra reservation and did not penalize us. The room was charming, spacious, spotless. The location is super convenient to the main train station. It's easy walking to other sites and easy to catch a tram as well. The hotel offers a free happy hour every day from 4-5. I had read about it and expected just drinks to be set out like I have seen at other hotels. Instead it was like a giant welcome party every night. The staff served a selection of drinks and snacks along with friendly smiles and conversation. We ate at the restaurant twice. The food and service were superior. We also did the buffet breakfast which was also excellent. I was really sad to leave this hotel. We only booked two nights in Amsterdam and I'm regretting not doing a third. We will definitely choose this hotel when we return to Amsterdam.

Just completed three nights in a Premium King Bed (Street View) room at the Kimpton De Witt with my mum and the stay was wonderful from beginning to end. Would absolutely stay here again if I found myself in Amsterdam. Pros: - Customer service is clearly a high priority. I’ve found this to be the case at all Kimpton hotels and this one is no exception. The friendly man who checked us in, the lady at the front desk who graciously gave us a late check out (make sure to be an IHG member!), all staff were accommodating and helpful. - The location cannot be beat. We debated between here and a hotel at Dam Square and were so glad to have chosen this. Very close proximity to Centraal Station, directly across the street from the tram stop (lines 2 and 12; 2 will be especially useful if you’re going to the museums and other tourist spots), and no more than a 3-10 min walk away from many of the major sites in the city centre. - Really well maintained and clean rooms. Strong water pressure and hot water temperature in the bathroom (not always a guarantee in Europe!). - Appreciate the complimentary bottles of water and little welcome chocolates in our room. (Not sure if this is standard for the hotel or because we booked with Amex.) - We were in room 101, the lowest floor, facing the major street - shockingly, noise was hardly an issue. I’m used to downtown living anyway so maybe just used to this sort of ambient noise, but definitely wasn’t disruptive. - Breakfast buffet at Celia restaurant (7-11am) was included in our booking and was a highlight of our trip. Hugh and Alba were absolute delights. Buffet had a good hot and cold spread (eggs made to order, bacon, sausage, cheeses, pastries, veg and fruit, coffees made to order). Wouldn’t pay €30 for it but great if included with your stay. FYI, when they say breakfast ends at 11am, I think they mean they would like people out of the restaurant by then, unlike in the US where it’s usually last call and you can linger after. The staff was far too polite to ever ask us to hurry up but even at 11:08a we were the last ones there so we took the hint! - Social Hour from 4-5p was a nice touch and a lot of people turned out. Complimentary wines and soft drinks and a canapé or two. Cons: - A bit odd to not be able to open the windows in the room. Felt like there was a lack of ventilation (ie no fan in the bathroom) so the air can feel a bit stale. - Don’t love communal / shared toiletries although I understand this is a norm to go green so it is what it is. (The scent was very pleasant!) - The fluted glass windows along the bathroom walls may mean a bit of a lack of privacy while you’re doing your thing in there. Not a huge deal if you’re a couple. Bit weirder with your mom! - The price is quite high. But comparable 4 star hotels in Amsterdam are all quite high these days, it seems. We paid in advance for a “premium room” with a bit more space and are glad to not have stayed in anything smaller. Over all, was really pleased with our stay!
