We definitely enjoyed how the Barbizon Palace is centrally located. We literally took the train from Schipol airport to Central Station, and had a short walk then to the hotel.
The hotel was clean, and had a very friendly staff, all of which also spoke English. We enjoyed our stay. I will say though the hotel rooms are not five star as ...
Stayed there in June, 2006, twice in March, 2007 and over Thanksgiving, 2007.
Great location. Across street from train station and next door to Red Light District. Take train from airport to central station. If you buy tickets at kiosk 2 tickets will cost you 4+ euros. DON'T TAKE CAB TO HOTAL FROM AIRPORT-costs about 80 ...
Super close to the heart of Amsterdam. We walked just about everywhere. The only bad thing I can say about our stay was that the room was non smoking and smelled of smoke and the chair was horribly stained. The breakfast buffet is awesome.

paying for the hotel gym??

We stayed not in the hotel, but in the serviced appartments linked to it. Although there were no particular problems with our stay, I was shocked that they expected hotel guests to pay a 15€ fee each time they want to use the fitness center!... surely that should be a complimentary service that is part of the whole experience and is meant to make guests feel good whilst they are far from home.

A great hotel

The Barbizon Palace is terrific. My 19 year old son and I stayed there for four nights and were very pleased with our experience. Our room was very large and comfortable, our bathroom was nice and well-supplied (nice towels, plenty of free toiletries) and we were never disturbed by noise either from the street or from the hallway.

Best in Amsterdam
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/08/06
We had a fantastic room right on the canal. Service and attention to details was great. Rooms were very large and comfortable. Location couldn't have been more central. Only warning (like all hotels in Amsterdam) they have parking, but it is limited and expensive, so if you are driving make a reservation for your car. TAKE THE TRAIN.
Hotel is fine but unremarkable. All I did was sleep there. Best feature is that it is just steps from the central train station, an easy walk to Dam Square and surrounded by neat cafes, etc.
