Extraordinary hotel in Amsterdam. The Dominican is a beautiful hotel in Amsterdam with wonderful professional service, delicious dining options and rooms. We were lucky to be upgraded to a junior suite which was tastefully decorated and very quiet and plush. We were also grateful for an early check-in. Front desk scheduled a taxi for our departure flight which was waiting for us early.

The hotel's location is excellent. Great customer service. However, 1 star on cleanliness. Unfortunately, my room's bathroom smelled like urine. As result, I requested that front desk coordinate with housekeeping to address the issue on the following morning since I arrived late to the hotel and needed to get some rest for the following day. On the next day I went ahead about my schedule and upon my return to the room realized house keeping had not addressed the issue and the bathroom continued to smell like urine. Another thing worth annotating is the fact that the room's carpet was disgustingly dirty. Would I ever come back? Maybe... and if I did it would be because the location to local attractions.

The perfect hotel to explore the many wonders of Brussels. The location is simply fabulous, a short walk from Grand Place and Galeries, and lots and lots of bars / restaurants. The rooms are great. And the hospitality and service are top-notch! They lay out an incredible breakfast buffet also. I strongly recommend this hotel!

We went there with my husband for our anniversary. Lovely stylish hotel very close to the center but yet quiet. Loved the room and king bed, we slep marvelously. Large shower (hotel seems to be more for corporate clients I missed the bath). Lots of lovely little gestures and amenities in the room that we tend to miss in the hotels the last few years. Well done bravo !

Very walkable location. Comfortable bed, Nespresso coffee. Rooms are decently sized, but starting to show some signs of wear - scuffs on the walls, chips in the wood furniture. Soundproofing between rooms could use improvement, you’ll also get some noise from people leaving the bars at night. Water temperature in the showers would fluctuate from tepid to scalding hot. Lighting in the room was dim, I suppose to keep the ambience of a an abbey. Program that gives you a drink token to use in the bar if you skip housekeeping, never received tokens any of the nights. Didn’t seem to be any benefit for Bonvoy Titanium.

I find it hard to believe anybody could find fault with this hotel. Here is my list of it's impeccable postives: A beautiful well appointed room with a view. A kind, helpful, and polite staff. A perfect breakfast set up. Special shout out to Fernando, our top notch bartender in the lounge as we were waiting for our room. The location was perfect to all interesting shops, sites, restaurants, pubs, etc Cons? I don't have any.

The hotel location was outstanding and the general rooms and hotel atmosphere was excellent. The only concerns we had is the treatment of the general staff since we had issues with our room and the staff treated us as if we were second class citizens. For the cost of this hotel and the fact they didn’t recognize us as Bonvoy members we were very disappointed.
