My stay at the Clayton Hotel Amsterdam American was a mixed bag. The location was unbeatable, right in the heart of Amsterdam, and the staff were super friendly. However, I did run into some issues with noise and cleanliness that definitely soured the experience a bit. Overall, it had potential, but just missed the mark in some areas.

The room was nicely decorated and the bed was comfy, but I was taken aback by the glass-door toilet that felt a bit like a public restroom, which kinda killed the vibe. Also, it was quite cold in the room.

I was hoping for a bit more from the amenities since it's rated 4-star, but the limited room service menu really disappointed me. The bar being closed one night was also a bummer.

My Rock Royalty Room was clean and modern, featuring a beautiful canal view. However, the poor bathroom setup and insufficient lighting were drawbacks. It would have been more comfortable if the setup had allowed for easier use.

My room was comfortable, and I appreciated the beautiful decor and cleanliness throughout the hotel. However, the air conditioning was less than satisfactory, as it turned off at odd hours, making my return after a long day a bit uncomfortable. Overall, it was a nice experience, but the AC situation kept it from being perfect.

I absolutely enjoyed my stay at the Clayton Hotel Amsterdam American. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to many attractions and right next to the canal. My room was spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable, with a great view. However, I did notice a few areas for improvement, especially regarding the dining options, which felt a bit repetitive during my stay.

My room was lovely with a super king bed and amazing amenities, including a coffee machine and a waterfall shower. However, the decor was somewhat dark, and I think they could improve the lighting. Overall, it was a space where I felt very comfortable and relaxed.

This hotel has a prime location; it's close to the tram for easy city access and surrounded by restaurants and bars. I loved that I could walk to many attractions like the Rijks Museum and Dam Square. The vibrant area was perfect for exploring.

Breakfast was good, with a decent selection of items, but it did get a bit repetitive. The dining room was beautiful, and the staff there were lovely, yet I would have appreciated more variety over the days I stayed.

The hotel had modern amenities such as a smart TV and excellent Wi-Fi, which I appreciated. The fitness facilities were decent, and I liked the lounge space, but I think they could enhance the room service and dining options to match the caliber of the rest of the hotel.
