Best hotel in Amsterdam

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 25 Jul 2024
Wonderful hotel. The property is beautiful and has an excellent location. Professional and kind staff. The woman who checked us in was lovely and the concierge got us a reservation at De Kas restaurant in town (hard to get a table). We ate lunch at the hotel and food was delicious. Every detail has been thought of here. Highly recommend.

Quite possibly the best old fashioned cocktail we have ever had. We didn’t actually stay here (hotel was sold out) but we are Hilton members and stopped by during our trip to Amsterdam. The hotel is beautiful and in a nice location in the city center.

This hotel is an amazing place to stay. It is under 100 rooms converted from multiple residences that have been renovated and combined into a single hotel. The gardens in the back are the largest in the city and feel like something out of an episode of Bridgerton. Upon checkin, you're offered multiple scents you can choose from to be sprayed in your room at turndown. When you arrive in your room, you'll find chocolate clog treats that not only taste amazing but look incredible. The level of service throughout the experience is top-tier.

Room tip: The staff was so helpful and accommodating. We arrived early and they did everything in their power to help. Talk to them before arrival.

Absolutely phenomenal, we’ve only stayed at one other Waldorf Astoria, the Rome Cavaliery. The Amsterdam Waldorf Astoria is 1000 times nicer. We were upgraded two levels being diamond members. The room was very nice. What makes this hotel stand out are the employees. Every person treats you as if you were royally. Zero snobbish attitude as some fine hotels have. The concierge was wonderful and was able to book us 2 massage appointments with our right schedule, diamonds receive an additional 30 minutes! We mentioned we were here for a Scorpions concert and when we returned, an ice bucket of beer and a lovely card with a picture of Scorpions! Every door was opened for us, all sincere and genuine. Ah the breakfast, diamonds are able to order 2 separate items plus whatever nonalcoholic drinks. We had lovely eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, Belgian waffles, French toast all the americano’s we could drink along with fresh squeezed juices. The only bad is that our stay was the first 5 days of 18. Now no other room, service or breakfast looks good!! Sincerely thank you for an absolutely perfect stay. Please congratulate the team of employees for a job well done!

Upon our arrival we were shown a suite that wasn’t what we had reserved. Initially, we were told that there were no upgrades available. When we complained somewhat forcefully, the hotel management arranged for us to have a truly extraordinary suite — the Van Loon suite. From that point on, the stay was extremely pleasurable. Great breakfasts, helpful and friendly staff, etc. The hotel is in a great part of Amsterdam, and is probably the best location in the city.

Stayed here for an overnight stay in December before connecting to our ongoing flight. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.. The hotel is ideally located in central amsterdam close to all of the sights and on a canal. Ask for a canal view room. Rooms were immaculate and well appointed. Bathrooms were very clean. The restaurant was very nice as well where we had coffee and breakfast. They offer you a scent to choose for your room which for aroma afficianado like me was very impressive. Probably the best hotel in Amsterdam
