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 "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
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"You get far more than a fancy bed here: tipples are complimentary at the self-service wet bar in the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed lobby." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"A comfortable hotel in a former bank building, Banks Mansion enjoys a convenient location within reasonable walking distance of most major sights and easy access to public transport." Full review
OysterUpscale
"Set along Herengracht Canal, the 51-room Banks Mansion is a beautiful boutique with an upscale home-away-from-home concept." Full review
Michelin Guide "A stately five-story, granite corner property, aims to be its guests’ home away from home...included in rates are bottomless decanters of whiskey, cognac and gin in rooms" Full review
