"I oscillated between 'Average' and 'Good' but I'm afraid it landed in the former category. The overwhelming positive of the hotel is its location so close to the station - literally a 5 minute walk. Great for getting to/from airport/catching Eurostar and/or travelling to close-by towns and cities. Equally, one of the easy-to-use trams will always be heading in the direction of the central station meaning easy to get back to the hotel if you've strayed afar. Clearly, a slight negative is the sheer number of tourists in the area - but that is central Amsterdam for you. The hotel was 'fine' if, perhaps, a little dated in places. Definitely more large-chain than boutique. Maybe missing some of those touches you would get in the boutique hotels e.g. the 'Social Hour' was pleasant, but there were no soft drinks other than canned cokes/fantas etc - no more natural juices (and no nibbles!). I know #FirstWorldProblems - but just describing some examples of differences. Breakfast was a bit of a hassle. Quite a queue and wait to then be seated and the breakfast rules seemed a bit overcomplicated (and took time to explain to each person as we all waited). It was extremely busy as well - must have been a queue of 20+ people waiting one morning. Just all seemed too formulated/old school. One of the lifts was out of action for an evening/morning which was a little frustrating. Maybe it's me i.e. I chose a place not really suited to myself."

"I stayed at the Kimpton De Witt in early April for 2 nights. It's a great hotel - I really enjoyed staying there. Service was impeccable and staff very attentive and helpful throughout the hotel - what you'd expect at a Kimpton hotel! Nice breakfast and good wifi. Very convenient and quiet location - a 5-min walk to the main train station and there's a tram stop outside the hotel. My room was on the 6th floor. Very comfortable and spacious for Europe. The bathroom was on a smaller side but perfectly comfortable, including a walk-in shower. Good water pressure."

"Took the opportunity to have a few nights away while our son was skiing with the school. Booked a King Premium Street View Room. Reception was very friendly and helpful. Lots of smiles. Room was a lovely surprise - very big with a lovely bathroom and toiletries. Bottle of fizz in room as we had recently celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. Room was very quiet at night - a must for me as not a great sleeper. Limited noise from outside. Good breakfast - it was busy but never waited long. Concierge full of smiles and helpful - showed us best ways to get around Amsterdam. What was a treat was the social hour between 4-5pm - the bar area filled up for complimentary wine or beer - created a chatty and friendly atmosphere. There is also a cocktail bar located within the hotel - not open every day but for 2 of our 3 days it was and we popped in. Good fun in there sitting at the circular bar and nice drinks. Good location for the station, nicer canal walk area and the more cheesy red light district. Would highly recommend."

"The room was clean - comfortable and furnished beautifully - loved our stay."

"I stayed at the Kimpton De Witt in Amsterdam for a few days and I truly enjoyed it! The room was clean and it had all the items that I needed, plus if you forgot something, they had items available for you during your stay. Aside from the location, the staff truly makes it special. The hotel is within a 5-minute walk to Amsterdam Centraal Station that can take you to different parts of the city or country should you wish to ride versus walk. Easy access to/from the airport - one train from the Schiphol airport too. Be sure to check the map since I ended up taking the long route to the hotel when it truly is a straight shot down via Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal. The property itself is close to lots of food, bars, stores and much more! Very walkable or rideable. They have complimentary bicycles (first-come, first-served) and they even have a private canal tour offered to guests at specific times, be sure to ask the front desk to schedule. The room was clean, spacious and if you get a chance to get a premium room with a view of the city, it makes it that much more special! During my time there, the staff was super helpful in trying to help me get tickets to a match I wanted to attend and they were super helpful with any questions I had regarding the city or how to get around, especially it being my first time in Amsterdam. Special thanks to Fabio for all of his assistance! The property has a restaurant, a cafe and a cocktail lounge. I enjoyed all of them but especially Super Lyan Bar. Their cocktails were on point but the service and kindness of the staff and bartenders was top notch - shout out to Benji, Lorenzo, Angelous, Sam, Geri and a few others that I did not get their names, they truly take care of you. And, you can grab some food too along with their delicious (lekker) cocktails. There is a happy hour available to guests so be sure to stop in for happy hour or anytime they are open, it's a vibe. I had dinner at Celia's Restaurant too. While I enjoyed my cheeseburger, I especially enjoyed the Smoked Mushroom taco (starter) and sweet potato side with lime yogurt and buckwheat (definitely highlights). It's definitely a place I will return to when I'm back in Amsterdam! Thank you to all!"
