Location was good but room with balcony was nothing like the Expedia image. We got a wall we had to drag an ottoman out to see over when they had several rooms with a balcony you could see from. We were the one they gave the lousy balcony to and had to complain. We then got a balcony looking at the inside rooms of the hotel and had to say no to until they upgraded us to a jr suite with limited view. We made the reservation months ago. We should’ve got a balcony with a view and not been treated through this dance to get a reasonable room. They should’ve said something that your room has a balcony that you’re not gonna be able to see through it because it’s all plaster wall or told us there is none available but to give us what they gave us and then move us around to unacceptable room and then move us around our room with a limited view was just a dance and it was ridiculous. We had to go through that but appreciate that they didn’t make an effort to upgrade our room. But that’s not good enough we should’ve got Respected enough to give us the room that was advertised on Expedia. Or told us it was gonna be otherwise.

Really enjoyed my stay at the Clayton Hotel in Amsterdam. The building is beautiful, full of character, and the location is absolutely spot on! everything you could want is just a short walk (or tram ride) away. We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary room upgrade, which set the tone for a great stay. The room was large, clean and really comfortable! and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout, a real standout. A couple of things worth mentioning: the Chromecast in the room didn’t seem to want to connect to any devices (a small thing, but a shame when you’re hoping to unwind), and laundry services were on the pricier side. All in all, a great stay in a beautiful spot. Would definitely return!!

As a fan of architecture and history, staying at the Clayton Hotel was a treat. The building is gorgeous and still radiates the grandeur of its past. However, as an architect and designer, I noticed several areas that could be improved to elevate the experience. The hotel, last renovated in 2007, would benefit from an updated HVAC system. The air quality suffers from lingering smoke odor, damp carpets, and aged finishes. As a former smoker, I found the bar especially difficult to enjoy due to the embedded cigarette smell in the upholstery. A modern filtration and dehumidification system is essential—and perhaps, afterward, a signature scent could enhance the space. Room doors slam shut loudly and would benefit from soft-close hardware to improve sleep quality. The gym is small, poorly ventilated, and not suited for stretching or yoga. Converting a meeting room into a brighter, quieter space for those activities could be a great solution. The café and bar menus feel dated, stuck in the 1980s. A refresh would better match the vibrancy of the city and the location. That said, the hotel’s location is excellent—perfect for walking, transit, shopping, and dining. Our room had a beautiful view of Amsterdam, and the umbrella rental system was a thoughtful touch. Most memorable of all was the service: the staff were kind, efficient, and helpful throughout our stay. We left wanting to return. Thank you.

Centrally located. Transportation easily accessible. Near shops and dining. Walkable to major attractions. Hotel lobby very attractive and the rooms nicely laid out with good amenities. The staff were all exceptional- perfect ! …except for the restaurant where they could barely be bothered to seat us and throw a menu at us- we left as there are many good options close by. Bar had good service tho. Walls are thin so noise does travel but staff were highly responsive in dealing with excessive noise quickly and diplomatically. Highly recommend this property!
