At every single step this hotel goes above and beyond to make you feel like a valued guest. Multiple members of the staff reached out prior to arrival to see if there were any concerns and helped us set up restaurant reservations. Upon arrival from an overnight flight, they were able to check us in early. Danique walked us to our room and even got us to pick a signature scent for our stay. Each morning, the breakfast was fantastic. The server remembered our names, our orders, and personally took care of us for every night of our five night stay. The bellman, concierge, waiters, and every other hotel employee were all fully committed to great service. The room itself was spacious with a large closet and heated bathroom floors to really enhance the luxury feel. We stayed during late November so during our stay they added a wreath in the area where a fireplace would be.…

This hotel is the gold standard of hospitality. It’s what I know as old fashioned hospitality, where politeness goes above and beyond. The compassionate hospitality provided by the staff everywhere with such attitude and smiles galore to make our stay so memorable. Thank you Marco, Samuel, Juan and Victor. Nathaniel, Roeland and Isabella the concierges; Juraj, Julia and Glenda at F&B. Thank you for helping us with our vegetarian diets. This is our second time and not the last.

My favorite hotel in the world. From the moment you step inside you are treated as the only guest in the hotel. Every need is met with such kind and genuine service, and each room is individually furnished and has its own charm. In the best location in Amsterdam, this is truly a one of a kind hotel experience and worth every penny and more.

I passed by this hotel with a friend during my holiday in early October. We had dinner at the lounge restaurant and then we took some drinks at the bar. The hotel is beautiful, the service was good and the staff very kind and helpful, especially the Italian guy at the restaurant (unfortunately I don't remember his name but he was from a city near Venice) and the two Sicilian guys at the bar. When I will pass through Amsterdam I will definitely return!

We had one night in this amazing Waldorf Astoria, the room was perfect with a nice view on the garden, which is magnificent. All the staff was super! There is the possibility to use the spa when you want, also during the night and this is a big plus. The hotel is located in a very good position and the tram is just 2 min walking. A big thanks to Heleen at the reception who was extremely helpful and also to Giulia, Glenda, Edi and Lefteris who assisted us during breakfast. Cannot wait to come back

The Hotel did a wonderful job of maintaining the old world look on the exterior, while keeping a very nice balance of old charm and modern amenities on the inside. The staff was top notch as was the food offerings. Not huge menu selections, but what was there was high end.

Fantastic in every way possible, from the welcome upon arrival, to the beautiful building and rooms, to the quality of service this hotel is faultless. I would throughly recommend staying here. I didn't have enough time to use the spa or restaurant facilities but if the rest of the package is anything to go by you wont be disapointed.

What an incredible experience. From check in all the way to check out, our stay was perfect. We opted for the Waldorf at the last minute and so glad we did. The staff was exceptional. The property was beautiful. We had a minor issue with our room, but the staff went out of their way to handle the situation. This was not a stay but an experience!

Just departing.. and already we want to come back as we had such a great time in Amsterdam and at the Waldorf.. A truly memorable stay. Wanted to thank you for your hospitality and making it possible for us… We have already sent in our google review and happy to do more if there is a website that is important for the hotel’s exposure .. Along with an all 5 Star Review we included the following verbiage. "Just left the Waldorf Amsterdam and I felt compelled to write a review right away..as everything was so wonderful.. The Waldorf- Astoria Amsterdam is a five star hotel in every aspect.. welcomes you with super cordial hospitality while anticipating every need. The concierge have connections like none other.. One day we ask to go to De Kas a highly rated and most excellent restaurant .. and incredibly they got us is. When they told us of their success, they seems more vested in the process than we .. in other words they truly care and part of our team. What a great location with wonderfully luxurious rooms.. Nice large rooms .. inner garden courtyard lovely.. all the amenities one would need .. an example of their attention to detail was a pillow menu .. with about 10 different choices should a guest need.. Arrival amenity.. so cute.. yellow dutch shoe chocolates on a bed of green coconut shaving. Spritzing the sheets at night at turn down.. what wouldn't they think of. Super experience Had a cocktail in the Gold Bar ( old back vault) .. the mixologist was one of the very best we have experienced.. another example of not only there excellence but making the experience so memorable at every turn Thank you Waldorf Amsterdam.
