HOTEL OKURA AMSTERDAM

This hotel is simply the best! Great restaurants, amazing food, best service, amazing views, wonderful rooms, cleanness and comfort. We loved the place. The location is not very far from the center. Truly luxurious hotel!

One of the three best hotels in Amsterdam. Not cheap though. The room I had was nice, very clean but average. I expected more though. Also had a quarrel on a supposedly late cancellation fee that they charged me to which I objected. Breakfast and dinner places (Sazanka) are excellent. Location also excellent in the Zuid quarter.

We spent 2 days at Okura before a river cruise. We were a little apprehensive when we found it was a fair distance to mid town but found the trams close and easy to use. There was a canal right along the hotel for a walk. We have nothing but positive things to say about the hotel, staff was friendly and helpful, included breakfast was great and rooms were very nice. We loved Amsterdam and would return to Okura.

We stayed for two nights and enjoyed the hotel. The room was comfortable and the bathroom excellent with the soaking tub. We found it convenient via tram to most major attractions and actually enjoyed taking public transportation. The hotel staff was attentive and excellent. We also enjoyed walking along the canal adjacent to the hotel. It was restful and reflective of Amsterdam.

Our stay at Hotel Okura in Amsterdam was in conjunction with a Viking river cruise on the Rhine. The room we were given was quite nice and spacious however not without faults. Our luggage was brought up quickly but we discovered that there was only one luggage rack. We had been on a week long cruise and had four good sized pieces to accommodate so a couple pieces of luggage ended up on the floor. As we searched for an ice bucket, we called down to reception to find out that the only ice available was through room service--rather inconvenient. And, we discovered that there were no USB ports available to charge our phones and the only 110/115 electric service was located in the bathroom. The coffee machine in the room was difficult to figure out how to operate for these seasoned travelers even with the instructions that were available! Our two night hotel package was valued at $700 and included two breakfasts but due to the early flight that was prearranged, one breakfast consisted of food bagged "to go" and at 6:00am there wasn't a cup of coffee available anywhere in the hotel. We would sadly never recommend this hotel or this extended package to anyone. But we did love Amsterdam!
