Our two-night stay at The Hoxton Lloyd in Amsterdam was a mixed experience. It began on a positive note—we were checked in promptly at noon after a long transatlantic flight and upgraded to a higher-tier room. As AMEX Platinum members, early check-in, late check-out, and a $100 on-property credit are standard benefits, and we appreciated that these were honored. The room itself was fine, though not without issues. The windows are fitted with intentionally opaque glass, so you can’t see outside clearly, which made the space feel closed off. Combined with poor airflow and no option to open the windows, the room felt a bit suffocating. While small, it was otherwise functional. The real problems began at dinner in the hotel restaurant. While the staff was friendly and accommodating, a mouse ran into the dining room during service. I alerted the bartender, who dismissed the concern with a joke: “You both got scared—the mouse and you.” I found the comment inappropriate and dismissive, especially in a four-star hotel. A rodent in a restaurant should never be treated lightly. The next day, despite confirming at check-in that we wanted housekeeping, we returned after a full day out to find our room untouched: trash still in place, no fresh towels, and the minibar unreplenished. At checkout, the front desk staff apologized and said any charges we incurred would be waived. However, the only charges removed were minor, as we had already used the $100 AMEX credit. Overall, we were very disappointed and would not recommend this property. The location was also less convenient than where we typically stay in Amsterdam. When we return in a few months, we will choose a more central hotel that offers a higher standard of care.
