"Historic grand hotel on the Dam with various categories of rooms, apartments for rent by the week and buffet breakfast served under a magnificent glass roof dating from 1879."
Frommer's

Fodor's

Lonely Planet
"Pride of place belongs to this 468-room edifice across from the Royal Palace, one of the city's first grand hotels." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"The location of this hotel – on Dam Square, overlooking the Koninklijk Paleis... is great."
Rough Guide
"Located in a huge and striking mid-nineteenth-century building, this four-star hotel occupies virtually an entire side of Dam Square."
Time Out
"Amsterdam's best-known hotel is slam-dunk in the middle of the action, directly opposite the Royal Palace, which it challenges in terms of looks, grace and glamour." Full review
Not For Tourists
"Grand, fancy and stylish."
Star Service

"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."

Upscale
"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."
