Vacations Close To AFAS Training Complex

We were torn between the Edinburgh Grand and this location. If your wish is to step out your door and be in the middle of everything old town has to offer I would stay here. Keep in mind it is not a 5 star hotel, it is an apartment which does not have the staff or amenities of a 5 star. We had a higher grade room which was in their back separate building with no lobby. Space was large and clean. Getting back to main lobby was difficult. Felt mislead that this was called a 5 star hotel. However, the location was great. If I could do over I would stay at Edinburgh Grand. It is in New Town part of Edinburgh, which is a quick walk to old town. New town has awesome restaurants and shopping, we had all our dinners there. I walked by the Grand- felt more high end , grand lobby and attentive staff.

Clean and comfortable hotel with very welcoming and helpful staff. Great location, near museums, restaurants and the beautiful park. I would recommend and may visit again.

Great stay with family in Amsterdam, friendly, helpful staff. Great walking to sites location and cozy, air conditioned rooms.

My stay at this hotel got off to a rough start. The area near the elevator looked rundown, which immediately gave me bad vibes. When we got to our room, we were greeted by a dead fly stuck to the curtain. Being so visible, it made me question how clean the room really was. I didn't want it to ruin the trip, so we headed out to spend some time away from the hotel. But when we got ready for bed and pulled back the covers, we found a stain. I tried to convince myself it was just detergent, but lifting the blanket revealed it was clearly a blood stain. I wanted to leave right then. Expedia wasn't much help — just offered empty words that went nowhere. It was around 11 PM, so we packed our bags and went to the front desk to ask for a different room while I started looking for another hotel. The staff said they were fully booked and couldn't switch us. The best they could do was flip the mattress over and change the sheets. We accepted, but we were still completely grossed out. The bathroom wasn't very clean either. It had stains on wall on top of the toilet. They really need to step up their cleaning standards. If you must stay here, I suggest checking everything before it's too late to get a clean room. On top of all that, you can hear everything happening in the hallway and through the walls. The room itself is run-down — the ceiling and walls are in need of repairs.

Rick, who was working at the front desk, was very helpful and had a great attitude

Really clean and well presented room, staff were very helpful and friendly. Local to exactly what you need in Amsterdam 😜 Will be booking again to stay here. Thanks for a great stay.
