I have just returned from 2 week stay at the Renaissance Amsterdam Hotel. The hotel is in a good location, the rooms are nice, but I would not stay here again. The hotel is under Major Renovations. Workmen start to gather out side rooms btwn 6:15AM - 6:30AM 6 days a week and work went some nights until 9:00PM. Moved... more

Many other recent reviews have discussed the construction that is going on at this hotel. As of May 2008, it starts a 7 AM and goes until 6 PM. It is very loud and annoying - jackhammers, yelling and banging. If you plan to spend ANY time in your room between those hours (like trying to do some work or... more

Stayted at this hotel for 3 nights in November. This hotel is located in a very nice area, close to attactions and walking distance from the Central Station. The hotel is very nice, the lobby is very clean and the staff were very friendly. I asked for early check in and got it upon arrival. The room was newly renovated... more

On arrival at 6pm I was concerned to see the whole building is covered in scaffolding. I had no prior warning . Apparently the work has been going on for 2 years and wont finish until mid 2009. When I got to my room everything was in order - very clean and terrifically comfortable bed. Howver despite the fact that... more

My brother and I stayed at the Renaissance for a few nights following a month of touring across Europe. I used my Marriott Rewards points for the room which would have been otherwise out of our price range. I had read the reviews about the construction, but I chose to stay at the hotel anyway due to its central location.... more

Stayed in this hotel a year ago when the renovation works just started and had a plesant experience, i was lucky to get a renovated room which was lovely. I came back to the hotel again. They finished renovating the rooms, but everything else is just a mess. The hotel enterance is invisible, there is no lift to go to... more

I am serious - the rennovation work starts at 6 or 6:30 a.m. If you don't want to wake up that early then avoid this hotel! They helpfully provide ear plugs in every room (!), but these do not keep out the drills and the banging. They will happily change your room if asked, but hey it doesn't matter where... more

I was aware that there was renovation work ongoing at the Hotel, but thought that it only impacted on the reception area. Finding the hotel is not straight forward, very little in the way of signage and scaffoding completely obliterating the frontage of the property. We initially walked straight past it. Check in is through temporary stairs into the reception,... more

The hotel website forewarned us that there was construction ongoing at the property, but we were shocked by the true impact of it. The lobby was non-existant, no place to sit and relax. The check-in and concierge desks were extremely small and lacked any appeal. Gift shop located on the 2nd floor in a regular size guest room, breakfast buffet... more
