The Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam enjoys a fabulous location right in the heart of Amsterdam, making it easy to explore the city center by foot. Many guests find the building itself to be majestic, with connecting rooms that are spacious and beautifully decorated. Some guests felt that the price didn't fully match the room's amenities. The internal garden is often appreciated for enjoying dinner at the bistrot.

The location was good. It was easy to get around.
the room felt quite dated. the carpet looked worn and the furniture seemed old. also, i found the room quite small for the price, and it lacked some expected amenities like complimentary water.

underwhelming experience. at a premium price

convenient locationsmall roomcurrency exchange issue
the location proved convenient for seeing the city, a small consolation.
My room felt quite small for the price, with some stains visible on the walls. Not exactly the pristine experience i anticipated. the shower barely dribbled water, it felt more like standing in a gentle rain than a proper shower, a disappointing start to the day. also, i asked about exchanging currency at check-in, i got a runaround and was almost late for my flight.
