Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 21 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Kimpton De Witt Amsterdam is made for travellers who arrive by train and want the city on the doorstep. Amsterdam Centraal is about five minutes away on foot, trams stop outside, and the bustle of the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal stays outside thanks to soundproofed rooms. Guests return again and again to the staff, who are described as warm, professional and quick to help, and to the clean, stylish rooms with very comfortable beds. Small touches such as the afternoon social hour, free bicycles and a bottle of the hotel's room scent at checkout add to the appeal. The trade-offs are mostly about price. Breakfast is charged separately and many guests find it expensive, even if those who pay usually praise it. Some rooms are compact for what they cost, and the Wi-Fi does not always keep up with the rest of the hotel. City breakers who plan to explore on foot or by bike will find a friendly, central base.
Guests score it 8.8 out of 10 — the average across the 17 hotels we list in Amsterdam is 9.0.
- The location is the big draw: Amsterdam Centraal is about five minutes on foot, several tram routes stop right outside, and restaurants, cafés and shops are close by. Despite the busy neighbourhood, guests describe the hotel itself as quiet and relaxing.
- Guests consistently praise the staff, especially the front desk. Guests mention luggage being collected from the taxi on arrival, a booking mistake sorted out without fuss and a warm welcome for travellers who arrived without their bags after a cancelled flight.
- Breakfast is charged separately, and several guests found it pricey. Some skipped it because there are plenty of cafés nearby, while others paid and felt it was worth it.
- While many guests found their room spacious, others had a small, cramped room that felt small for the price.
