Banks Mansion, Amsterdam

We just returned from our holiday in Amsterdam. We had gone for a family wedding, and this was the first time we have not stayed with family. We wanted to experience Amsterdam as real tourists. After spending a great deal of time researching hotel choices on the internet we finally decided on Banks Mansion Hotel. It turned out to be the perfect choice. The location was excellant for just walking out the door and being in the center of things. Everything within walking distance. We had a beautiful room with a view of the canal and the street. The air-conditioning was great to have and we had comfy beds with our choice of pillows. The complimentary bar fridge in our room was so handy, and was always stocked. The staff went out of their way to look after us and were very friendly. Breakfast was great. There was everything anyone would want from smoked salmon, assorted cheeses and cold meats, to your choice of eggs any style or omelets, waffles etc. We felt we got excellant value for our money. It was so nice to come in from an afternoons shopping and sit in the "Living" and have coffee and pastry or a nice glass of wine in the evening, all from the complimentary bar. We will return for sure. Can't wait.
