We enjoyed our stay at Clayton Hotel, it was a great - walkable location to majority of areas within the city. The hotels lobby and exterior were under renovations when we were there (this was mentioned in the booking). Lots of hammering at 8:30AM which did wake us up but the hotel provided us with complementary breakfast to make up for this. The room was very clean, and staff was very nice. The bathrooms were okay, no conditioner in the shower but overall quite spacious. Breakfast was phenomenal, and the hotels bar was amazing. I would definitely stay there again, if there was no construction.

The Clayton Hotel is a great hotel to experience Amsterdam with. The rooms, food and service was great. One gripe when I stayed is that there were renovations happening during my stay and builders were making noise near my room. I was ensured by the staff that the builders would work from 9-5 but they started early every day. Did ruin the visit.

The hotel is very conveniently located between the canals and the museum quarter. A maximum of 2k walk any direction for what you would want to do In Amsterdam. Tram stop and supermarket across the road. Restaurant and bar with outside seating if you fancy staying in after a long day. Exactly what we were looking for. Thank you.

Major building work underway at the hotel. Very noisy from 9am each day and facade covered in scaffolding. No mention of this when booking this property on Expedia! Beds had mattress toppers which "slid off". Not comfortable at all. Not what i expected when booking a premium hotel. Very very disappointed. If had been made aware of the building works underway would have booked elsewhere.

The property is undergoing construction on part of the interior and the entire exterior. Stayed in room facing inner court so did not hear construction noise. So ask for inner court room. The rooms are fine, we reserved two rooms of same category and one was quite a bit larger than the other one. The elevators are confusing and depending on what floor you are staying on you might be better off just taking stairs if you physically can, since not all elevators stop on all floors and you find yourself wandering to get to your elevator. There was a hiccup with breakfast being included as it only showed for one room. Then when they added the cost to the second room we had to have that removed from bill as we decided not to eat breakfast. The buffet is a joke and at 24 euros a person I expect better - no fresh squeezed juice and scrambled eggs were definitely not fresh eggs - I do t even want to know. Cappuccino machine was good but the coffee offered in the room not very good. As for the city tax, it would be nice if hotel was clear at time of check in how much the additional cost would be so you don’t get another surprise after check out.

The restaurant at the hotel was beautiful and the service was wonderful. The hotel itself was going through renovations which was not stated during booking, so most of it was closed off. The room was just ok but the bathroom was not very clean. The room had a nice, large terrace which was facing the main street. So a little noise is expected, but I guess for some reason the fountain that is in front is a popular hang out for young adults that are extremely loud. They were making screaming noises, singing and basically having a lot of fun till early morning. Unfortunately it will keep you up or wake you up duri g the night. Also we stayed for a week and this was a nightly thing. So if you are a light sleeper you may have issues. On the other hand the locatio. Is very convenient. There are many trams at your disposal. Overall it wasn't awful but I would not go out of my way to recommend it.

Great, except for the construction

This was a great hotel in a great location. The only issue was that there is construction of the lobby taking place, meaning there is scaffolding/construction going on (including men outside our window around 9:30am one day), which was annoying, but had no real impact to our stay. The cleanliness, service, comfort etc were all fine, and I'd be more than happy to stay there again.
