"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

"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

9.0
"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
