Staff very friendly at check-in, but unfortunately that's about where it ended. Rooms were spacious, but not in great condition, bathroom, was very odd spacing, amenities lacking, beds were not very comfortable. TV was a bright spot, as was the location. AC unit in room was not providing any relief. All of this is fine if the room is relatively inexpensive, but it was really pricey given the season, so they get away with it.

Great location next to Dam Square. Good sized room, big bed, nespresso machine. Everything you could need is close by, and it's convenient for the main railway station and trams. My second stay here, and would definitely stay again.

The Red Lion is extremely centra to all the City attractions of Amsterdam. The bathroom is "snug" but adequate.
Staff were helpful and attentive.
Overall, I'd recommend this hotel for your visit to Amsterdam.
