More Hits than Misses, but one expects more

After great stays at Intercontinental Amstel and the Andaz, and not-so-great W Amsterdam, I arrived at the last and most expensive hotel of this trip to Amsterdam for one night.

This also meant I had the highest expectations.

In other words, I was setting myself up for disappointment.

So how much was it?

This was my second hotel in Amsterdam, having moved from W Amsterdam (the previous review).

The original plan was to stay at the Intercontinental for a few days, but as mentioned in the W Amsterdam review, there was a drop in the rate and I cancelled my first night here at the Intercontinental for the W.

It was not the best decision, but it wasn't bad either.

The Intercontinental is a very old grand hotel with a history of more than a century and has its own wikipedia entry.
