Description

Unmatched luxury in the heart of the city. The NH Barbizon Palace is housed in 15th, 17th and 19th Century buildings with beautiful house fronts combining historical splendour with present-day facilities. Its favourable position results in beautiful walks to the shops, museums and Dam square. However, walking is not necessary due to the excellent connections from the Central Station. On top of this, the 5-star rating guarantees an unforgettable stay.

The architecture of the Barbizon Palace covers four Centuries, starting at the St. Olof Chapel. Though being one of the oldest structures in Amsterdam the chapel now serves as a top-notch conference centre. The ambiance and historical value are preserved although the conference centre is equipped with all the modern comforts and the conference and business centre benefits all business visits. The larger conference rooms can facilitate 20 to 300 persons, whilst the smaller rooms are focused on personal meetings. At a charge, you can make use of the fitness room and the sauna.

Food and Drinks

Hudson's Restaurant emanates a friendly, personal atmosphere, focused on regional and international dishes. The restaurant seats 120 guests.
The Vermeer Restaurant is renowned for its culinary finesse and inviting yet formal style. The restaurant offers several halls which can be reserved for up to 55 guests at a time. The luxurious cocktail lounge is decorated in authentic 15th Century style. A unique element of The Vermeer Restaurant is displayed at their own pier, harbouring 2 salon boats. These boats can be reserved for 6 to 30 guests and offer a unique way to visit the city accompanied by fine cuisine. In the bar Mar-Dique you can enjoy tasty tapas and cocktails

James D Conley Amsterdam weekend convenience
9.2
+ Close to the train station and Dam Square. Easy access from/to airport on the train. Very comfortable. I had an inside room that was very quiet this time. The rooms on the outside are also very nice. Electrical outlets were plentiful and conveniently located. Lots of good restaurants in close proximity in addition to the one in the hotel itself.

- 5 star price but 2 star service level, lack of smile and feel of welcomeness by the staff at lobby area
Constance Kampf Charged more than guaranteed at Hotels.NL please refund the difference

+ Wonderfully friendly staff and good breakfast. Beautiful bathroom.
- Beds need to be replaced-- my back hurt a lot after using yours.
Anonymous Good Location, but in Need of some TLC
5.8
+ Good location, nice, well-appointed lobby.
- Carpeting in hallways and rooms was old and in need of replacement. Very noisy outside hotel and in the hallways. Hard to sleep without using ear plugs.
Anonymous Comfort and Convenience
9.2
+ Very close to Centraal Station - good connections to airport and other points of interest in the Netherlands. Easy walking distance to Dam Square and Amsterdam old town. I had a corner room with views overlooking a canal. The room was large, quiet and comfortable. Enough electrical outlets for charging cameras, cell phones and using laptop. Many good restaurant options nearby including the restautant at the hotel itself.
- None
Anonymous Friendly and Comfortable!

+ Location, location, location.. right across from Central Station and a short wall from everything you've come to Amsterdam to see and do! Staff are friendly and efficientand rooms are quiet and comfortable.
- Quality has definately been cut back from previous stays..I guess that's the recession! Had to ask for coffee etc to be re-stocked on first night and never got proper refils for the remainder of the stay. Some problem with lifts which meant we waited 20 minues for one to arrive and nobody could find the stairs!? On way backup the staff brought us up in the service lifts instead.
James Dwan Very nice but not 5 star
8.2
+ Great location and reasonably priced. Recommended.
- Very nice but certainly not 5 star!
Glenn Jones A nice hotel but a bit expensive.
8.2
+ Good location, nice size room, good service
- Curtains did not fully cover the window, it was an effort to get through secondary glazing to open a window and then it was very noisy from the street outside, there was a broken biscuit under radiator (probably from previous guest). Room was booked as 'best available room' but check in person insisted that we had only booked a 'standard' room.
Anonymous Faded and jaded - badly needs a facelift
4.0
+ Staff are friendly and helpful
- Hotel is old and tired, rooms stink of old smoke, it is ridiculous to have internet free for only one half hour in lobby - guests should have unlimited free internet for a 5 star hotel. Why is there only one computer available in an elevator for printing boarding passes - again not 5 star hotel quality. How did you get your 5 star rating?

James D Conley Good city break accomodation
8.8
+ Very close to the train station plus when work is being done on the train lines between Amsterdam and Schiphol airport (as it was yesterday), the pickup point for the bus that substitutes the train is right in front of the hotel. It's a short walk to Dam Square and the rest of the attractions. The staff is efficient and helpful. The rooms are comfortable.

- Poor decor, furniture, sanitary ware not normal 5 star standards, needs upgrading or downgrading of rating.
George Not a 5 star Hotel by any means
5.2
+ Goo location near to central station
- It is supposed to be a 5 star hotel, but it looks more like a 3 star - dirty and old with moldy tiles in the bathroom and things generally in need of some refurbishment. It was also very noisy (with noise from outside) so you think they would give you some ear plugs or triple glaze the windows....but no!
Mary Bermingham 3 star hotel masquerading as 5 star
7.0
+ Close to Central Railway Station. Impressive ground floor, good concierge service. Very comfortable beds.
- Although there were 2 guests per room there was only enough toileteries and bath robes for 1 person. When contacted the Reception staff explained that the rooms were for single use only. There was no soap or extra pillows provided. The staff on Reception could be more helful. The bedroom was 3 star standard not 5 star.
philip Locationand good service

+ During my stay I bought a designer plastic chair needed to be wrap by yr front desk people so I can check in at the airport. Yr people was so very helpful to wrap it so good & the chair arrived home safely w/o a single scratch. I really appreciate the honest help. Without their help, this chair can't never get into my house in Hong Kong as one of my collection.

- I honestly can't think of any.
David Guthrie A good convenient place to stay.
9.2
+ Very convenient for the railway station, being just a short walk away. Hotel is generally quiet and is well located to visit all the main sites of Amsterdam.
- Rooms are looking a bit "tired" and could do with refurbishment.
Inge Convenient,, clean, but do not count on a friendly welcome
7.2
+ The location, in walking distance of the hotel, is perfect. The hotel is very clean.
- There is a lack of friendliness of the staff, in particular at the reception and at check out. This is the second time that I notice this.

Craig Jones
9.2
+ Very relaxed and friendly. Staff were excellent.
- Can't think of any!
David GREENHALGH Good Hotel, excessive charges for 'peripherals'
7.6
+ Excellent location for metro and central Amsterdam. Rooms are fine although it can be noisy from outside, even though my room was at back away from main square.
- Nearly 50Euro to park car overnight is ridiculous, as is 22Euro for breakfast. Lastly charging for wireless internet access in a 'business hotel' is simple extortion/sharp practice whichever way you look at it.
Dean Elms Fantastic service and a Great Hotel
9.6
+ This was a fantastic Hotel, when i come to revisit amsterdam again in the near future, this will be the hotel i will go back to. The staff are so friendly and helpfull and the rooms are spacefully and homely.

carolyn pearson Like the L'oreal ad says - you're worth it.....
8.4
+ Spaceous room. Friendly staff Great bar and very helpful staff in bar Choice of pillows were great.
- Room either too hot or cold. Slightly dark - had to have lights on all time - not helping to reduce carbon footprint!
Gavin Venter Still satisfied after 4 years of loyalty.
8.4
+ the staff are exceptional and friendly.
- this booking system is negative in the sence that my requests & comments like "Smoking Room" does not get read by the hotel.
Mrs. Arapi Elissavet Very disappointed would not stay again
4.8
+ location the bed was great
- the room was extremely dusty like no one had been in there to clean for over two weeks the iron handle at the bathroom was rusty when we were leaving no one bothered to ask how was our stay or to wish us a good trip home. They just swiped our credit card and that was it. That is unacceptable for a five star hotel When we called the reception at one time it took ages for someone to answer
John Excellent Hotel will return
10
+ Great location, spacious clean room, good checkin, excellent service.
Wynne Christmas weekend away
8.2
+ great location fantastic breakfast comfy room
- no mention of car park booking prior to arrival as their are a limited number of spaces windows although shut let a lot of nightime noise in maybe double glazing would help a shame we were charged again for the breakfast upon departure even though it was supposed to be included in our room rate
Cantarini Nice stay but carefull with minibar billing
8.0
+ Location nearby interest visiting point
- We did not like the arrogance of the receptionist that asked us to cash the minibar bill at 10 o'clock of the last day of the year( pls note that we already paid the total amount of our stay)
Igors Muluks Great hotel. Would recommend to a friend.
8.2
+ Easy to reach, great bed, good service.
