Michelin Guide
"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
"Some rooms are small, while others have been converted into individually decorated apartments. Their state varies from worn to tastefully renovated." Full review
Fodor's
"The monumental Krasnapolsky is one of the few places in Amsterdam where you can still inhale a true Belle Epoque atmosphere." Full review
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
"About as convenient a location as one could hope for in Amsterdam, wedged between Dam Square and a canal on the edge of the red-light district (a short stroll to shops, restaurants and entertainment)." Full review
The Telegraph
7.0

Frommer's
"Maybe too close to the Red Light District for some people's taste, and on a slightly seedy street, the Winston is a step up from grungy and has a hang-loose, alternative rep." Full review
Lonely Planet
"Most rooms are 'art' rooms: local artists were given free rein, with results from super-edgy (entirely stainless steel) and playful to questionably raunchy." Full review
Rough Guide
"Part of the St Christopher’s Inns chain, this self-consciously young and cool hotel has funky rooms decorated with crazy art, and a busy ground-floor bar that has regular live music."
Oyster
Budget

Time Out
"Now part of St Christopher's Inns, a UK-based hostel chain, the legendary Winston still manages to maintain its youthful, party-loving atmosphere and arty rooms." Full review
Let's Go
"Hotel Winston feels more modern and continental than the other boozing-and- snoozing complexes on the street, thanks in part to the attached sleek bar and trendy club." Full review
The Telegraph
7.0
"Hip, high-energy, with a popular bar and club attached, and very much part of the red-light district: this is a place to party, not for early nights or a quiet break." Full review
