Frommer's Review
Located in the redevelopment zone of the old harbor east of Centraal Station, the Lloyd was an emigrants' hotel from 1921 to 1935. Each of its rooms has a different shape, style, and modern decor, and with rooms of various classes, the hotel straddles all categories except "Very Expensive." Its most expensive rooms, which are the largest, have a view of the water or a specially designed interior (or both). The mattresses are firm, but only a few rooms have king-size doubles -- one does, however, have a bed that "sleeps" eight. The hotel's Culturele Ambassade houses art exhibits, modern artworks are scattered around the property, and there's an attic library. Two restaurants aim to make it cool to dine in a hotel: Snel, fast and affordable, is open 24/7; Sloom is leisurely and expensive, and you can order whatever you desire and the kitchen will aim to cook it.
Facilities:
2 restaurants; bar; bikes; secretarial services; room service; in-room massage; babysitting

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
