+ The Location is everything at this place! The kitchen was decent and suited our needs well

- The bed sucks! The dryer did not work on the laundry machine (which really sucked) and the TV System was a complete frustrating mess

Mark Livermore Fantastic central apartment

+ We stayed for 11 nights in this fantastic central location, in a spotless, beautiful character apartment with 2 TV's and stunning views of the Summergarden. We also enjoyed the outstanding breakfast in the Wintergarden. The staff were a pleasure to deal with, the service was excellent. We will be staying at the Krasnapolsky Apartments again.

- Not one, there is nothing we could fault.

+ Krasnapolsky Apartments are conveniently located with access to the hotel amenities (spa, restaurants, etc.). Apartments are well equipped with clean, working appliances

- Lack of elevator.

Margarete Stepan To stay in the Krasnapolsky is a pleasure.

+ War mit dem Hotel sehr zufrieden, würde wieder das Krasnapolski wählen. Zentrale Lage, ausgesprochen freundliches u. sehr bemühtes Personal.

Edward Langla Hotel K was the perfect stay ... again!

24 April 2010

+ Hotel K is THE PLACE TO STAY in Amsterdam because they have everything you need, everything you want, great breakfast buffet, and are located close to everything great in A-dam central. I'd recommend Hotel K Apartments to those couples visiting A-dam for any length of time. Apartments are luxury and worth the best rate found at Holels.nl

- No minus points during the visit. We were very lucky regarding trip cancellations due to Icelandic Vocano eruptions that caused havoc in Europe for 1 week. Hotel K was 100% solid with us in the crisis, and told us not to worry about accomodations, and they'd have accomodations for us if we were bumped or cancelled from our return flight home. Fortunately, we took the return home without any delays!

JAY Nice place but a bit noisy

9.0

+ proximity to city center and the up keep of the apartment is a plus

- The windows facing the canal would be better if they were double glazed since one can hear the noise outside and that can ruin the stay

BRUN Olivier Plutot bien mais quartier peu sympathique

+ Cuisine tres complete.Lecteur CD manquant obtenu rapidement.

- Nous n avons pas eu l appartement sur jardin comme prevu a la reservation!Et un voisin au dessus tres bruyant la nuit...Il n y avait pas d eau chaude le 1er matin.Pas de nettoyage ni changement de serviette de bain malgre la demande faite au concierge.Quartier rouge trop proche donc bruyant.

Edward Langla Hotel Krasnapolsky is simply the best

5 December 2009

10

+ Hotel Krasnapolsky is the # 1 place in Amsterdam to stay because they are excellent in major categories that we consider important (room/apt size and quality, service, price, location, restaurant). We have never had a bad visit or anything to complain about in a over a dozen visits to the hotel, the most recent being December 2009, where we stayed in the Apartments, which I highly recommend for couples. The staff is well trained and the management is super friendly. In a sad note, we were bumped from our KLM flight and this cost us two days vacation, cutting our reservation from 8 nights to 6 nights. I e-mailed Hotel K and they had all of our arrangements covered when we arrived. In fact, we have a favorite or preferred apartment overlooking the canal and they had it waiting for us when we arrived, and even let us check in early ... now that's outstanding service!

- The one down side to staying at Hotel K is parking, if you happen to have an automobile. But, this applies to ALL HOTELS in central A-dam where the use of a car is all but impossible. Even at the Schipol Airport Hilton Hotel, parking costs are very high, so there is no relief if you're driving a vehicle. At $40EU+ / day, be sure to take the vehicle out of your "vacation equation" when visiting Amsterdam, and you'll have less headaches.

Paul Beardsell Great location but apartment small and difficult to like.

6.2

+ Location. UK TV. It's all good.

- Desk is in the wrong room. Should be in the living area. Working from the apartment I found I spent all my time in the bedroom, sleeping or working. The lounge/dining/kitchen area I used as a big entrance hall only. And the apartment is a little cramped for space. Stairs too steep for the frail - no lift. Internet expensive. Difficult to like the apartment.

Kay Great location and price

9.8

+ The downtown Location close to central station,the friendliness of staff, the level of comfort and the clean rooms make this the ideal Amsterdam hotel. The apartments for stays longer than a week give great value for the price.

Paul S. Excellent facilities, prime location, reasonable price

29 June 2009

8.6

+ Excellent location. Large apartment with windows at both ends (one over the summer garden and the other over the alley parallel to Dam Straat). Entrance on the alley leading to only two apartments. Air conditioning. Full kitchen. Overall, very comfortable and situated in the heart of the city.

- Can be a little noisy at night. I assume the windows are single pane glass because conversations in the alleyway can be heard clearly inside.

Anonymous Great place to stay in Amsterdam

Albert Vrieling I will come again.

+ Location number 1. spacious and very private.

- I had to ask 3 times for some extra nespresso pads without any reaction. Finally I got some free at the Bijenkorf department store.

Edward Langla An excellent stay at Krasnapolsky Apartments

10 May 2009

9.6

+ These garden-view apartments exceeded our expectations ... there was minimal noise from hotel operations and we enjoyed all amenities. The staff and concierge were excellent on check-in

- Access required use of two staircases and an elevator was not available.

Edward Langla Another Great Trip to Amsterdam

14 December 2008

9.8

+ This was our 12th trip to Holland since 2000. Another wonderful stay, our second stay in 2008. Everything was exceptional with the Apartments! I'd highly recommend the Hotel K Apartments to anyone visiting Amsterdam. The location is central to everything that is great about A-dam.

- Location: A minor nuisance is the Drug dealers at the back of Hotel K on the Canal adjacent to the apartment entrances selling hard drugs on the sidewalks (cocaine, heroine, ecstasy, etc). As you approach, they try to gauge your interest by whispering "Cocaine" or whatever they sell. We advise anyone who passes them on the way to your apartment to simply ignore them or politely say "No Thanks". Do not engage in conversation with them, and you'll have no problems. After a few days, they stopped approaching us.

Paul S. Very happy with newly renovated apartments

17 August 2008

9.0

+ I was very happy with the recent renovations to the apartments. In particular, the additiona of air conditioning was a major improvement. It appears the units were completely updated, including two flat panel televisions, new floors, new kitchen, etc. I had stayed in the same unit in 2007 and the changes were very dramatic.

- The only real minus point about the apartments is a lack of elevator access. This was only a problem for me when carrying luggage and you can get the staff to help you if required. However, if you are too infirm to climb steep stairs, you should ask for a ground floor unit.

+ We visit Amsterdam every year and have stayed with your hotel three consecutive years. We love the location of your hotel, the friendliness of your staff and the excellent room service.

- Our stayed was completely ruined by the constant maintenance issues. The external window frames of our apartment were being painted and we were woken very early each morning to the banging of workmen and the stink of paint fumes (my partner is asthmatic!). We couldn't use our bathroom first thing on our second morning because the men were sanding and painting the bathroom window which they had propped open. As you can imagine, this was a very uncomfortable 3.5hr wait!! The following morning we had no hot water for bathing and maintenance didn't resolve the issue until 3pm! We also had workmen in our apartment two days in a row painting the balcony doors forcing us to leave for lunch. All in all we had 2 peaceful days out of the 7 stay holiday, that might I add cost us nearly EUR2,000!

+ The room key as well as door key is unified, which we feel very convenient, and safe.

- The household amenities, such as beverage packages, detergent, etc., have been supplied and placed in the room before. But we did not find those in this time, which made us a bit disappointed. Further we did not have home video any more.

+ The fifth stay for my wife and myself in a Krasnapolsky apartment in the last four years. We have not even looked at other accomodations when visiting Amsterdam due to consistently good services here, clean and quiet apartments, and no surprises or problems. With the tram lines running through Dam Square and Centraal Station being just up the street, you can go anywhere in the city or out of it for a day trip elsewhere quickly and with ease.

- Missed the in-room customer information menu via the TV (billing status, etc.) from previous visits, but TV service was in the process of being changed and upgraded at the time.

+ Staff responded rapidly to all requests - a vase, extra towels, garbage pick up, etc.

- The bed, a double, is too small. And while the private entrance to the apartment was great, at night the area outside was occupied by men apparently selling drugs. If I were a woman traveling alone - in this case I was with my husband - I would not have felt safe.

+ Location. Excellent starting point for exploring most of the City

- A small gripe from a frequent Kras guest. The Kras used to be a fabulous hotel that was reasonably priced. It still remains fabulous but the prices are edging towards fabulous too..........

+ Housekeeping does an excellent job and the location is one of the main reasonS I stay at the Krasnapolsky Apartments.

- Not having the hair salon there at the hotel anymore. The style of bed used - two twin bed pushed together; a king size bed would be better.

+ availability of basic amenities in addition to close proximity of the city center.

- The mattress is very soft which hurts my back. some windows did not close properly which made the apartment subject to air draft and street noise. The general condition of the furniture is poor and needed to be updated.The was no dish detergent or sponge to wash the dishes which I had to buy.

+ Proximity to Dam Square, RLD, coffeeshops, central station, Rembrandt Square, and the Leidseplein. Washer/dryer unit was helpful. The cd player/radio was enjoyable...but no dvd player. Helpful business office people.

- Apartments are old...NO Elevators, we had to carry our bags up 3 flights of narrow stairs to our 3rd floor room, no help from porters. In fact no one even showed us to our room, we got lost trying to find it until a porter pointed the way out (but did not show us) Apartments are located in an alley behind the hotel, we had to walk through the kitchen area to get to the apartments. No screens on windows=mosquito bites! Uncomfortable beds (too soft), uncomfortable kitchen chairs (too hard)! 2 separate keys for the rooms...a card key for the room and an Apartment key for the lower doors. Couldn't they consolidate into one card key? Very expensive. 2 weeks regular apartment=$4800.

+ Location was excellent. Having laundry and full kitchen was very good. Nice little balcony. Good to have so much space compared to a hotel room even in junior apartment. In general nice and quiet. Stayed for 8 nights and had it serviced ion the middle of the stay. Good ot have the option of using hotel facilities. English instructions for washing machine. Nice gown and toiletries and plenty of spares.

- To not be serviced every day for the price was not great. Smelled of smoke. Little noisy neighbours one night below. No air con but nice wiht windows open. No washing powder provided for laundry. No liquid for dishwasher.

+ Very spacious and comfortable apartment. Nice bar.

- Most people probably love the location, but Dam Square is too crowded and trashy for our taste. We were shocked by the high price for a cocktail - 10.5 Euros for a gin and tonic?!

+ Very nice accomodation, comfortable beds, very central location. Staff friendly and helpful. Check in and check out though they seemed rather overwhelmed by the numbers of guests. I stay every year or more often and would not choose anywhere else.

- Video players still ...amazingly...provided. Ditch these and provide DVD players I suggest. Coffee and tea were not replenished and we never had any sugar at all. But then i couldnt be bothered to phone housekeeping.

+ Great location, quiet, private, good size, fridge, stove, two TV's, DVD, stereo, reasonable price, free access to WiFi from Bulldog next door in that room. I would definitely book there again in the future.

- No air conditioning, no screens on windows so when i had the windows open because of the heat I got a lot of mosquitos in at night (it was quite warm for several days on my trip), no elevator (only really a problem with the bags first and last day). Internet access is too expensive.

- Morning can be loud on the garden side with all the workers rolling carts and talking with each other.

+ The staff was very helpful. The appartment was simply beautiful. I hope to stay there again.

- Someone needs to check if there is coffee and tea and if the floor has been vacumed. This was not done prior to my check in. A minor oversite,but still something that shoul have been done. But when pointed out, this was taken care of immediately. Also plan for large group check ins. I had to wait almost 2 hours for my luggage to come to my room. This had me worried because I saw all the signs that the hotel was not responsible for my luggage.

+ Hotel workers are very friendly and room is very nice, quiet and clean. We are very satisfied with this appartment except one thing.

- 1. Last time we had bath tub in our apartment room, but there was only shower this time. 2. For both of checking in and out time, guests including us were waiting for long time. They should increase front desk worker for at least checking in and out time.

+ Really nice appartment with an atmosphere in the very center of Amsterdam.

- Nobody takes out the litter during the whole week. There is a very big litter bin that starts smelling after a number of days and it has just one litter bag inside. we would appreciate having there spare litter bags available or somebody removing the litter every second or third day.

+ Good Managers. Listen to what the problems you have. Even though there should be ideally no problem but still there are ppl who will listen to you . The location Of Kransnapolsky without a doubt is its best selling point.

- Poor Service. You have to Ask for Everything.Reception is not warm hearted enough.

+ I want to personally thank all your staff for their kind welcome and beautiful flower arrangement. Each stay with you is better than the last. All your staff is to be proud of the level of service you give. Simply put, you are the greatest. Every attention to detail is given. It is always a pleasure to be with the best in Amsterdam. Sincerly Daniel.

+ The location is the absolute best and the cost compared to other lodging in the area can't be beat, just don't expect luxury.

- The apartments are in desperate need of repair and upgrades, of the 5 apartments I've stayed in over the past 2 years, I would consider them at best 2 star quality. The business office is also lacking when it comes to fulfilling even the simplest of task.

+ excellent breakfast, extremely friendly employees, the best location overall extremely satisfying

- stairs leading to the apt smelt like bourbon, was not privvy to the fact that I had to put in a downpayment of 100 euro's/night which completely messed up my finances.
