We were very happy to receive such a nice service from the hotel. They got us a taxi waiting for us to arrive at the airport so it was very convenient for us to get to hotel.
...
Staff was very polite.
...
Nice hotel. Very good location. Little noisy at night time - didn´t really bother us that much though. Nice staff. Good room. Simple breakfast, but it was sufficient for us. Very steep stairs.

I was given excellent directions from the airport via train/tram.
...
No elevator - although I think this is on the website. It should be noted that the stairs are rather narrow and steep so heavy luggage could be a challenge.
...
Great location, within walking distance to many city sights. My room was on the street side so when the windows were open it was rather noisy. However, when the windows are shut the noise is not noticable. Overall, my experience was satisfying, I would consider staying at Hotel Imperial again if I ever make it back to Amsterdam.

Rooms very clean & tidy.
Entance area needs refurbishment. It isnt to welcoming.
...
Breakfast was the same everyday and not very imaganitive.
...
No problem checking out.
The hotel was expensive for the facilities available.
The staff were OK about letting us leave our baggage at the hotel on the last day as we had an evening flight home.
...
We should not have had to pay extra for coffee/tea facilities. They should have been included at the price.
...
Very clean room with good washing facilities.
A bit pricey for facilities available.
Good location.
Outside noise could be heard from our room at the front of the hotel despite good double glazing/sound proofing. However this did not affect our quality of stay.
In fact we stayed an extra night.

very nice hotel (pity there's no lift!), excellent location, very quiet but close to bars and discos. Peter March is a very friendly and kind person. I already suggested this very good address to my friends!

The linking from the airport to the Central Station is quick and frequent.
A bit of difficulty with the 'strippenkart' system but nothing wrong with the rest.
...
The receptionist was kind and the hotel clean. We have spent very confortable and relaxing days in it.
...
I suggest to put in every room the hairdryer, the necessair to prepare a cup of tea, and something to write down things (paper and a pen with the address of the hotel on it).
...
A good solution to stay without paying too much and with a position near to everything.

My room was at the top of the property and there were three fairly steep flights of spiral staircase. It didn't worry me but some people may have struggled and I don't think that there was a lift. This isn't a complaint...purely an observation!

Great little place in an ideal location.
Clean and neat with plenty of staff to help
out whenever needed from this family run
business. All rooms are superb and very
modern and extremely clean. Great shower and
bathroom that I think anyone could enjoy.

An excellent hotel. Very clean, staff very friendly and helpful, particularly the owner, Peter.

Room beautifully decorated and furnished. Excellent location for exploring the city. Not quiet, as in the centre of an area of bars and clubs, but hey, who goes to Amsterdam to sleep????
...
Exellent if you want a hotel of good value, good service and excellent location. Don't stay there if you want peace and quiet, that's not what the location of the place is about.

Very small street frontage to the Hotel.
Very secure entrance, this was a good feeling. Apearance once through the door heading to the second floor reception is not hte best. The carpet was very worn, some place it was worn right through.
The reception area was great and the room wonderful. Everyone was super. The only detraction was the entrance stairs.
...
All of the staff were extremely helpful in pointing out where to go or not to go.
Everyone was very conversational and extremely pleasant all the time.
They provided us with maps and information for all the things we were looking for and more.
...
Everything went very well. No problems at all.
...
Web info is good.
Should highlight the Jacuzzi Showers. They are wonderful.
...
Small intimate hotel. Excellent location on a no vehicle plien. Rooms overlooking a park like setting. Easy access to everything.
Treated like family.

Staff were expecting us, the room was ready and checkin was carried out quickly and efficiently
...
A more personal approach than is offered at larger hotels. The customers feel. more like friends than hotel guests. Good location.

No problems, no fuss. Will certainly use this hotel again
...
Stairs are quite steep and could present a problem for guests who are not so mobile.

A small, quiet, homely type hotel. A good place to stay in the heart of Amsterdam

Peter was very helpful with directions and recommendations of sights to see. He made us feel very welcome.
...
This hotel was our favourite hotel during our trip to Europe - it was beautifully decorated. The care that was taken in decorating every inch of the room was remarkable.
...
Peter even booked us a taxi so we wouldn't get ripped off trying to get to the airport.
...
The only negative thing I could say about Hotel Imperial is the noise from the square. The hotel has installed special windows to drown out this noise - and they do an excellent job of this. It's just that sometimes we got warm and wanted the windows open. But even at 5am, the partiers were still going outside!
...
The most comfortable bed I've ever slept in!

the only negative things I would say is that
the stairs were very steep and a little
dangerous. But I have a feeling all of
Amsterdam is like that. other than that it
was lovely.

The hotel's owner/manager, Peter March, is extremel;y friendly, knowledgeable about local resources, and--for English-speaking people like us who unfortunately speak no Dutch--a reassuring presence. We would recommend the hotel to any of our friends...Richard Henry

Easy to use.
...
The only problem was the noise from the restaurants located downstairs. We had a room facing the street(park) and because of the heat we had to keep our windows open and it was terribly noisy until about 3 or 4 in the morning. However, that was not the fault of the hotel. It would have been nice to have had air conditioning:) However, everything else was great. The hotel was immaculate and the people very friendly and we had a great time in Amsterdam.
...
Again, I have to state that the only problem would be if the weather is very warm and you have to keep the windows open...it will be noisy until the wee hours of the morning.
...
Friendly, clean and with a great location.

Nice quiet hotel on Rembrandtplein. A big bonus for us was that this was truly a non-smoking hotel -- a rarity it seems for Amsterdam. The rooms were clean and cheery and the staff helpful.

They really helped called a cab so that we didn't have all the bags to get on and off the tram and train.

People that have a hard time with stairs should know ahead of time the stairs are steep. People should be made aware of the front rooms the windows need to be closed and the drapes closed. This was a very clean and nice place to stay and I would stay there again. Thanks

It was right where all the action is. Great places to eat and drink and really socalize.

The place is great and clean. If you are unable to climb 2 flights of steep steps this would unfortunately for you be the wrong place to choose... we however were really satisfied with the hospitality and the cleanliness of our rooms.
...
See above comments. The directions could possibly be a bit more specific giving actual landmarks..eg the statue
...
A well situated place, close to public transport and amenities. The room that we stayed in had the most amazing jaccusi shower.. however the others had an ordinary shower... the decor in the rooms was great... the beds soooooo comfortable... and generally... highly recommended and I would go back.

Staff was not as polite upon checking out as we would have liked. They seemed a little pushy about getting us out the door.
...
It may need to be disclosed that the property is next door and across the street from several strip bars. We were not disturbed by these establishments (noise, etc), however, it would have been nice to know what to expect before we got out of the cab.
...
Convenience and wide selection of accomodations to choose from.
...
Quiet, clean, and well kept. Very centrally located, within walking distance to many major attractions. We were satisfied with our choice in accomodation. The photos on the website of the rooms were exactly as the property appeared in person.
