Canal House Suites At Sofitel Legend Amsterdam

We spent 3 nights here in a luxury room and got a second with a 50% discount for the kids through the Accor website. It was my sons birthday and on arrival a present and cake were delivered to the room, a lovely surprise and a great start to our stay at the Sofitel legend. The building is historic and is in walking distance of most places of interest. The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated, the bed was one of the most comfortable we have slept in, the bathroom is stocked with Hermes products. The staff in the hotel are very friendly, the concierge who suggested and reserved a local Italian restaurant for us, the reception and housekeeping staff were efficient, nothing was a problem. The breakfast included everything you would expect and again the manager here was very efficient and friendly, what a character! We used the pool, it is small but we enjoyed it. We ate in the hotels temporary restaurant on the last night and again the staff were friendly however the experience wasn't what we had come to expect from the legend. The table was sticky and there were a few mistakes with our orders which resulted in our main courses coming at different times however this did not impact on our overall experience. The location and particularly the excellent staff are what made our trip special and we hope to return soon.
