I am slightly apprehensive about staying here due to the negative reviews for Priceline bookings. However, for the location and the relatively cheap price I am confident that it will be much better than some of the other hotels I have stayed in Europe before finding Priceline. I will also be emailing the hotel and requesting a King Size room with a view over Dam Square. I'll let you all know how it goes.

While I have never stayed at this hotel I have had nothing but great experiences at NH hotels and love the Barbazon Palace in AMS. I think that you will enjoy this hotel. Its in a great location.

The hotel's fine -- definitely one of those large "PRICELINE" hotels where they have a whole variety of upgrades and ways to pay more, but we found that the location was central (though frankly there are a lot nicer places in Amsterdam than Dam Square... pretty much anywhere, imho, since it's a bit chaotic, but the centrality really is nice). The rooms were fine and it was definitely worth the price we paid when we were there a couple months ago; I think you'll be pleased you booked it.
