The Toren - Hampshire Classic Amsterdam

It was a pleasure to return to The Toren Hotel at the end of each day.

• + The friendly staff made us feel welcome.

Friendly Hotel in the middle of what's happening in Amsterdam

• + Staff is friendly, efficient, knowledgable and want to help. Location is outstanding for those who like to be in the middle of everything (which we do while in Amsterdam). The best rooms are room with views of the canal.
• – Many rooms tend to be quite small.
• * my tip We found that the hotel lends itself to walking. Everywhere you go you are within short distances to many exciting and interesting restaurants and shops. Getting off the beaten track can be a lot of fun. Great way to get a feeling for the city and it's friendly people.

Warm generous Dutch hospitality

• + The most friendly staff, very polite. And very generous supply of top quality toiletry supplies and coffee machine
• * my tip Anne Frank house, tulip museum pleasant surprise and souvenir shop around the corner very friendly staff

Great location but expensive.

• + Lovely original old building and decore. Easy to walk to all of Amsterdams main attractions and venues. Very friendly and helpful reception and bar staff.
• – Although paid high price for Toren Hotel the actual room provided turned out to be in another property some three or so buildings down the street. This was not told to us prior to arriving. Felt some what isolated or left out as all staff and Hotel facilities were located in main Hotel up the street (Bar, Lounge, Restaurant and garden etc).
• * my tip Located very close to Anne Franks House though prebook prior to visiting. Very good bicycle tour of Nth Amsterdams country villages and Water lands by Yellow Bikes.

Boutique hotel in a great location with great staff

• + Great location; great Reception staff; quality fitout
• – Hairdryer!

Enjoyable stay

• + Nice location close to centre of Amsterdam. Staff is very friendly and accomodating

Sweet Spot

• + Big windows that open, lots of sun, a gorgeous room with a canal view and jacuzzi tub, what's not to love. I was told the room had been newly redecorated and it was lovely, with lots of romantic touches. I am sure they have very quiet rooms, this one was not, but I like listening to the neighborhood boats and birds.
• – A bit expensive for my budget. So, I have to wait for deals. Breakfast was not very interesting. The plastic wrapped pastries did not look very nice considering. Maybe unwrap a few and leave them out on top of the wrapped ones, like a display. It would look nicer.
• * my tip I'm not big on the public rooms in hotels but the bar here was very nice. It was nicely decorated and looks a little staid, but its actually fun to hang out there for awhile. It has canal views and is quite comfy, add the friendly staff and you have a great spot for a chat and a drink. Get the canal view, its worth it. The jacuzzi was seemed brand new and worked well.

Touren a hotel with real presence!

• + Hotel staff were wonderfully helpful. Lovely ambience to the hotel and annexe. Fantastic bar.
• – We found 3 televisions rather ruined the ambience in the bar, especially when 2 of them were showing different channels.

Thank you for wonderful stay

• + Excellent proactive service from all staff made us very welcome and relaxed
• – Bed was rather hot , think it may have been mattress cover.

One of the best city hotels we have stayed at with lots of character.

• + I booked this for my boyfriends birthday. The hotel kindly upgraded us to a larger room and provided champagne and strawberries. The staff especially at reception were extremely helpful and friendly. The best city hotel I have stayed at and will be returning to. Amazing rooms.

Excellent small hotel in a great central location

• + Very good service. Nice friendly atmosphere
• – We stayed 6 days. There was almost no draw space for cloth storage. However my niece stayed at the hotel at the same time, and had a small single room with lots of clothes space !

Best hotel in Amsterdam!

• + Comfortable beds, outstanding service, GREAT hotel bar!
• – None!

The Toren - definitely the place to stay in Amsterdam!

• + The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They always made us feel very welcome and catered to our every need - no matter the time of the day or night. They went above and beyond for us every time. The decor of the hotel was lavish and romantic. Very pretty. We stayed in a deluxe room separate from the building. Beautiful, quiet room with jacuzzi and spa shower. Best room I've ever stayed in. Very clean, comfortable, and private - I wanted to stay longer but simply couldn't as I was on a travel agenda. The jacuzzi and shower were awesome, both easy to use and very relaxing. Hotel was easy to find and short walk from Central Station. Walking distance to bars and restaurants. Easy access to main points of interest - Anne Frank House very near by. Great hotel to go to for relaxation and self indulgence. 10/10!
• – Unfortunately, there was one flaw which was maybe unavoidable - the morning of our check out - woke up to dozens and dozens of flies in our room. They were in our bed, on the walls, in our suitcases, in the jacuzzi and around all the light switches. As we were checking out - the ladies at the front desk were superb and contacted the manager and we only had to pay for our room - the extras were free - we charged drinks and food and internet/movies package to the room. As we were leaving reception, another guest came in to complain about flies in their room too. I don't know if this is a common problem or a one off. I feel we were compensated accordingly and have no ill feelings about the hotel. Totally recommend it to anyone and everyone! Loved the stay entirely.

• + Loved The Toren. Great location, outstanding service, beautifully decorated.

• – No free access to internet in the room. NOT acceptable. Room very far from main lobby and breakfast room.

Charming hotel with an excellent location - it does not get any better

• + Wounderful hotel, very nice staff, excellent breakfast, top location! We will come back again!

Friendly staff

• + wonderful, friendly staff, very helpful
• – rooms too warm No mirror in the bedroom exept over the bed which was awkward in a room for 3. Example 3 sisters sharing and trying to put makeup on in the one mirror in the bathroom at the same time. We ended up standing on the bed to look in the mirror in the bedroom Too much red and black, very oppressive I wouldn't stay there with my boyfriend Out of 3 sisters only one sister says she will return to The Toren The decor was very dark, very bordello, brothel style, too much so. We would prefer the luxury classic elegance. This decor was luxury brothel taste

Great service, slight chill in the room

• + The location and the staff were great
• – The heater in the room didn't work very well.

Wonderful stay

• + The staff were wonderful and made my stay excellent. They assisted with every concern and request. They were capable and friendly.
• – Lack of wireless internet in the room is a very serious problem. It's almost unheard of in hotels now. I had a very small room, which was okay, but because it was decorated in dark colours, it should have had the option of brighter lighting. The lights were all very dim and I had trouble dressing for work in the AM.

Charming small central hotel

• + Great location, friendly staff, nice breakfast, rooms charming but a little small
• – Quite expensive compared to room size

100% Plus!

• + Simply 100% plus!

Would come again and recommend!

• + The service was great. We loved the decorations and over all design. Great location and loved the historic value.
• – Would like all lightbulb checked as one above sink was out. Should make sure chandelier is dusted.

Swanky hotel in the city

Exquisite hotel in the heart of Amsterdam.

• + Location; friendly personnel; interior design.
• – Room 405 is situated in such a way that the airconditioning unit of a neighbouring building is quite annoying. However, when reception was contacted a quick solution was offered by allowing me to move to another room.
