 Hot breakfasts were a little too cool for my liking Serving plates were cold I regard this as a relatively minor point in an otherwise exceptional experience Dinners were superb 
 Hotel was not full when we stayed there and we arrived to find we were upgraded to an executive room a great surprise since it was my wife s birthday and our wedding anniversary All of the staff from the manager to the domestics were outwardly friendly and helpful The standard of cleanliness exceeded that of a few 5 star hotels I ve used in the UK I don t think we could have a picked a more conveniently located hotel for our first visit to Amsterdam
