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 "Near the station, a neoclassical 19C luxury hotel and extension dating from the 1980s."
Frommer's "The proprietors' idea is to give guests a five-star hotel at four-star rates -- and a great location." Full review
Rough Guide "This tall, elegant building opposite Centraal Station has been one of the city’s best hotels for years."
Star Service "Set on a prominent corner with a distinct cupola, this is usually the first hotel people exiting Centraal Station lay their eyes on." Full review

Staffers are slow to respond to individual requests, and renovations are intermittent with rooms within the same category varying in standards.
Time Out "Rooms themselves are of a good size, and come with all the expected trappings. A big plus is the excellent health club and pool, both open to non-guests for a fee." Full review
