The honest take
The Pulitzer Amsterdam, on Prinsengracht, comes in at $608 a night with a 9.4 rating from 1,746 reviews and a full facility list including spa, fitness, parking, breakfast and bar. Hotel TwentySeven, right on the Dam, is $1,515 a night with only 277 reviews and no rating given, and lacks all five of those facilities on the data provided. Unless you specifically want a tiny, intensely designed suite hotel above the main square with a Michelin restaurant downstairs, the Pulitzer gives you more hotel, more certainty, and $907 back in your pocket. They're 0.7km apart, so location isn't really the deciding factor here.
The look and the feel
Hotel TwentySeven
Hotel TwentySeven occupies a single grand townhouse directly on the Dam, and it plays that scale for intimacy rather than grandeur: a handful of suites, each individually decorated with handmade fabrics and commissioned art, steam showers, climate control, the works. The mood is maximalist and jewel-box, closer to a private members' den than a conventional five-star, with the Michelin-starred Bougainville downstairs anchoring the whole operation in serious, chef-driven food rather than lobby spectacle. The bar leans into novelty (probiotic cocktails) rather than the clubby brass-and-leather thing most Amsterdam grand hotels do. It's a hotel built around a handful of very particular, very well-appointed rooms, not around public space.
Guests who want a small, intensely personal suite hotel on the Dam itself, built around one exceptional restaurant.
Pulitzer Amsterdam
The Pulitzer is stitched together from 25 seventeenth- and eighteenth-century canal houses along Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht, and it still reads that way: low beamed ceilings in some rooms, tall canal-facing windows in others, a warren of staircases and courtyards linking Golden Age brick to contemporary Dutch furniture. The 225 rooms and suites are individually laid out rather than stamped from a template, with DS & Durga toiletries, vintage telephones and a bike repair kit as the signature small touches. Restaurant Jansz. does modern Dutch cooking with local sourcing, and the garden courtyard and bar give it more places to actually sit and be than a single-building hotel could manage.
Guests who want to feel Amsterdam's canal-house history around them, with the scale and facilities of a full-service five-star.
Hotel TwentySeven, for more than double the price, gives up a spa, fitness facilities, parking, breakfast and even a bar on the comparison list, none of which the Pulitzer lacks.
The Pulitzer is the more beautiful place to actually be in, because you're moving through genuine seventeenth-century canal-house fabric with real variety of room, stair and light, whereas TwentySeven's beauty is concentrated into a small number of very decorated suites.

“Great but still room for improvement”
Location, design, helpfulness off staff, original décoration, spatious room
as in many other hotels not enough attention paid to the number of plugs to charge multiple devices. Boiling water device spilling out water making electricity breakdown.Queue for table at breakfast
