The July - Boat & Co
Great location in a residential neighborhood so it is nice and quiet - away from the hubbub of the city core. Transit by bus into Amsterdam Centraal is just a short walk away. Hotel has a cool vibe and the staff were super accommodating.

Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam
I booked two rooms during the tulip season, but the weather was not favorable. Therefore, we expected heating in the rooms, and there was none in either of them. Everyone complained about the same issue. Additionally, the breakfast is not the same as in 2020; it is significantly inferior.
