The valet service quickly parked our car in the underground garage. Street parking is expensive and limited, so this was very convenient.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Pulitzer Amsterdam is frequently praised for its fantastic location within the canal ring area, putting guests within easy walking distance of local attractions. Many appreciate the spacious rooms, some featuring unique details like vaulted ceilings with barn-style rafters, and enjoy views overlooking the canals. The Pulitzer Bar is also a highlight for many visitors. While the breakfast selection may not meet everyone's expectations for a 5-star hotel, the hotel's design, including a charming courtyard garden, and its proximity to the Anne Frank Huis, just a 2-minute walk away, create memorable stays.

adequate canalside stay

friendly staff nicely designed restaurant unimpressive lobby standard room

I found the location near the canals practical. the staff seemed helpful and friendly. I did appreciate that. the restaurants were nicely designed, and the food tasted good.

The lobby wasn't particularly excellent. It lacked a grand feel. my room was fairly standard. It didn't stand out as exquisite. i found that the big name brands were in better locations for less money, though

Acceptable but Disappointing Room

The location of the hotel was acceptable, placing me conveniently near the areas I wanted to visit.

My 'Generous Double Room' turned out to be a letdown. There was an odd smell in the bathroom (it reminded me of a public swimming pool). I expected much better considering the price and the hotel's reputation.

i booked a "classic suite", but it felt disappointing. the room looked smaller than expected, and the view was obstructed. housekeeping didn't replace used toiletries, so i had to call and ask for more.
