Fodor's Review:

Salons don't come any sleeker than the ones inside this ornate brick Vondelpark mansion, with their cube-shape chairs, gleaming Swedish woods, sisal-like carpeting, and white-on-white hues. The bright bursts of navy blue are perhaps in homage to Piet Hein, the legendary 17th-century Dutch privateer and vice admiral. Other maritime touches include paintings of sailing ships, navy blue carpets with patterns of seaman's knots, and cozy rooms that make you feel like you're in a ship's cabin. Some bedrooms here are so sprightly done up you will feel 10 years younger. Real color lies outside the windows, as front rooms have fine views of the park (always in demand—even booking far in advance doesn't guarantee you one of these rooms). Those in the back look over a garden. The P. C. Hooftstraat, the Concertgebouw, and the city's major art museums are nearby. Pros: attracts a young crowd, close to the Vondelpark. Cons: staff could be friendlier, lobby has a slightly worn look.

We loved the Piet Hein! I wanted a room with a tub and my TC wanted breakfast included. We were very happy on both counts. The tub was long and deep and breakfast was wonderful. The location was perfect for us. The lounge/bar area is comfortable and there is free internet access. On our last night I tripped on a nearby curb and injured my knee. The staff called a cab and I went to the ER. All ended OK. I mention this only to say the staff was helpful and concerned. I loved Amsterdam and the Piet Hein.
