Frommer's "Upstairs, spacious and tasteful rooms cluster in groups of two or four around small lobbies, which makes this feel more like an apartment building than a hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Owned by a publisher, this hotel is proud of its literary connections and the authors who stay here."
Rough Guide "Small and stylish hotel not far from Leidesplein. Rooms vary in decor but all include a minibar, telephone and TV. Those on the top floor have good views of the city. €175."
Michelin Guide "Facing the canal, this complex features a 17C house and a huge 1921 building, where a pupil of famous French chef Escoffier once owned a food shop. Large guestrooms, studio and penthouse."
Star Service "Compared with Canal House, this bookish boutique operation has a conservative look, but the overall vibe is sophisticated with a pinch of fun." Full review
Time Out "In an 18th-century warehouse building near Leidseplein, rooms are plain but smart; the glamorous penthouse has a wall made of glass for unsurpassed views over the city rooftops." Full review

"This three-pearl, 31-room hotel is set in a renovated 18th-century warehouse in the heart of Leidseplein, one of Amsterdam's busiest tourist areas." Full review
Fodor's "The busy location—happily many of the windows are double-glazed—is convenient to the major shopping areas, museums and park, and one block from nightlife-rich Leidseplein." Full review

Michelin Guide "It is just perfect for art loving Amsterdam!"
Concierge "The Ambassade isn't the most stylishly renovated of Amsterdam's Golden Age hotels, but the privately-owned landmark beats out the competition."
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Literary luminaries, business travellers and well-heeled tourists alike love this tastefully appointed hotel, spread over 10 canal houses." Full review

"Ambassade Hotel's lovely brick front is as inviting as its location in the picturesque (and convenient) Canal Ring neighorhood, across from a boat-lined canal." Full review
DK Eyewitness "With its long literary associations, this is the bookworm’s choice of lodgings: the library is lined with signed copies from the numerous authors who have stayed here."
Rough Guide "Elegant canalside hotel made up of ten seventeenth-century houses with smartly furnished lounges, a well-stocked library and comfortable en-suite rooms."
Star Service "On a beautiful canal in a residential neighborhood in the heart of Amsterdam, this exceedingly popular traditional hotel blends old school B&B style with a cozy residential feel." Full review

If possible, avoid the smaller Classic rooms and book a Deluxe room with a roomier sitting area and more enviable canalside location.
Time Out "This literary hotel arranged across ten canal houses is the place to bump in to your favourite author." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "If more proof were needed of the Ambassade's – comprised of 10 18th century buildings -- significance, its central location on the Herengracht is a UNESCO World Heritage site." Full review

Choose canal-side rooms in this quiet part of town.
Gayot "Charming accommodations (with a notable library) in a classic canal setting."
