Michelin Guide "The handsome Berlage architeaure of this hotel hints at the elegant accommodation on offer here."
Concierge "Instead of relying on high design as so many other new places in the Dutch capital do, it's taking a shot at being the coziest, comfiest hotel in town."
Travel + Leisure "Located on the Herengracht Canal, the Banks Mansion is a stately white-columned hotel housing 51 rooms, many of which display serene water views." Full review
DK Eyewitness "In an imposing former bank, this hotel is all-inclusive: everything, from the Internet to movies to the minibar, is free."
Star Service "Flirty and fun fashion is the foundation for this postcard boutique-hotel for young couples. It is a more conservative version of the Toren and Ambassade." Full review
Time Out "Once you check in to this grand hotel in a former bank building, everything is yours to choose." Full review

Michelin Guide "One of Amsterdam's finest hotels... Pure, unadulterated luxury."
Concierge "You will sacrifice a canal view, but the location of this bustling hotel, opened in February 2012 directly across from the Museumplein, more than compensates."

The cavernous center is divided into spaces aligned with the four elements, but if you have to choose, forget earth, fire, and air and head for the water spa, which features a watsu pool and hammam treatments.

"The Conservatorium Hotel delivers a true five-pearl experience in Amsterdam's residential Museum Quarter." Full review
Star Service "Although it lacks the intimate room count of a true boutique-hotel, this creatively transformed Gothic fortress features some of the most dramatic architectural-scapes in Amsterdam." Full review
Frommer's "The new kid on the block of competitive upmarket hotels in Amsterdam, the Conservatoriun opened in 2011 and occupies the former neo-Gothic Sweelinck Conservatory of Music." Full review
Afar Magazine "The building itself harmoniously blends old and new, with modern steel beams and glass walls complementing original brickwork and wooden beams." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This 129-room hotel with an arsenal of standout features, offers spare but opulent interiors, courteous service (especially praiseworthy in a city known for a lack thereof), and serious wellness amenities." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"Italian contemporary style – and the best lobby-lounge in town – Conservatorium is infused into a 19th-century bank building, bang in between Museumplein and Amsterdam’s chicest fashion street." Full review
goop "While it takes up prime real estate in a former music conservatory just a stone’s throw from the Rijks and Museumplein, Conservatorium has a lot more going for it than location alone." Full review
Fodor's "An impressive early 20th-century bank turned music school is a visual feast, with a glass-roofed, tree-filled courtyard lobby and dramatically modern guest rooms." Full review
