We had been recommended this by friends so knew it was a good hotel. We've stayed at a number of hotels in Amsterdam and for location and service this was the best so far. The welcome was very warm including a glass of champagne. All the staff we met were so helpful, particularly with restaurant bookings. As our room didn't... More

I'm not one for writing reviews but Banks Mansion deserves a word or two. We stayed in the hotel for one night but wished we could have stayed longer. The staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for us. They took care of everything from showing us around the hotel to organising trasport for our trip. We were made to... More

This small hotel is located on the corner of the Vijzelgracht and the Herengracht, slap bang in the middle of Amsterdam. Within 1 minute's walk you're at the floating Flower Market and the Muntplein (start of the Kalverstraat - the shopping street). If you walk two minutes, you're at the Rembrandtplein. Everything is so close by, it's great. We were... More

We stayed at this excellent hotel for a weekend. We were warmly welcomed and even offered champagne at check in. The hotel offers a kind of all inclusive service. This means complimentary drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcohlic), coffee/tea and snacks in the lobby bar area 24/7. You are also offered cheese in the afternoon. Breakfast was great too with a...

Had a wonderful time as a guest at Banks Mansion, were made to feel very much 'at home' with much more than you would expect from any hotel........espresso machine, cognac, whiskey, gin and mini bar all included in price. Excellent breakfasts and open bar plus wine and cheese in evening. Great rooms, great location and warm welcome. More

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous both for its architecture and for the interior design. It's 10 mins walking distance to the city center and facing the canal. Very close to the flower market as well. Everything there was so comfortable and warm. Such a great atmosphere with a lovely fireplace and very efficient and kind staff. The thing I enjoyed... More

We arrived at the Banks Mansion after an arduous flight from the US. Landing winds in excess of 40 knots made it exciting. Took the Connecxion from the airport to the hotel -- best value! We arrived well before check-in time but they had our room available. Dropped our gear and had breakfast before setting out to explore this wonderfully... More

I stayed here for a convention and it really turned out to be a great choice. The hotel is very intimate and feels comfortable from the lobby to the breakfast area to the rooms. The lobby is great because they have complimentary drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) as well as snacks. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The all-inclusive nature really... More

Stayed at Banks last weekend and will return. Almost do not want to write a review in case this place gets so popular we will not get a room in the future. This place has got it right. Nice touch with complimentary drinks in lounge area along with nibbles. Also complimentary mini bar. Room was very good ( 210 )... More
