In all my years of travel around the world have I stayed in a hotel that not only beautiful but with a team so attentive to personal needs you literally want to spend your vacation on property. Our registration process was a delight. Our room was beautifully appointed with everything you could possibly need. The food was delicious. Location was perfect and allowed for walking to Dam square and museums.

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.

I have just spent three of the most enjoyable days at this hotel. While the hotel itself was impeccable, the room spacious, comfortable and spotless, it was the people who made our stay outstanding! Every person representing the hotel did so with the most pleasant, helpful and welcoming approach . No request was too big or too little. Each person made you feel like you were the only guest in a private house.

Our trip thru Europe started in Amsterdam at the Waldorf. It was definitely the best way to start. The whole staff is very helpful and friendly. We are Diamond and were given a beautiful upgrade and the breakfast was wonderful. A special thanks to Helen who checked us in and got everything started on the right direction.

After extensive research, we landed on this property. This is a unique “boutique” 5-6 star hotel with thought into every detail. Photos tell the story. PROS: unique spaces perfectly staged for all parts of stay, breakfast, gym, garden, spa, pool, lobby lounge. Food and drink top notch. Vault bar a mixologists dream. Rooms perfectly appointed and serviced. Staff amazing! CONS: Bathrooms somewhat small. Recommend to any discerning traveler!

What an amazing experience from arrival to departure! As a frequent traveller enjoying high level of service, this one is surely among the best I have received. Impressive! I do not know where to start to describe it all! The hotel is located along the canals and is beautiful, best location in Amsterdam with charm and vibes around. The service is top notch and by far! Check-in was flawless and I really felt warmly welcome. The room was cosy, best quality sleep, quiet and so nicely decorated with a luxurious bathroom with high-end amenities. Aeosop soap was appreciated. The view from the room was so peaceful towards the water. Loved that. As well one of the biggest garden inside the property worth relaxing in… Monica was a star at the breakfast, very much caring, remembering what was appreciated from day to day. That made the start of the day just perfect and brought me in a good mood for the rest of it. Not reflecting on the breakfast quality which was the greatest!!! Perfect lunch with good choices and amazing tea break in the afternoon. There as well best service with such a high level of attention. Awesome! I liked the fact that the Spa was opened for me at 23.30… I was there alone it was such a treat! This is going far to deliver to your guests the little extra which makes you feel at home and special. Got massage following day by a Greek woman (sorry for forgetting the name) who was amazing too. It was nice to borrow a bicycle to discover the stunning Venice of the North. I rented a boat and a captain for 2 hours following advise from the concierge. Highly recommended. Such a passion. Such an experience. Again so many great advises by all staff, listening to what I liked and delivering amazing proposals. There as well I wish to remember the name of all those helping out. Big thanks to all staff members. You made my week-end truly a best in class experience that I will remember for long. Longing to come back!…

It was my son's first Europe trip. Our first stop was Amsterdam and the team at the Waldorf Astoria took really good care of us. After a long flight, we arrived at the hotel, check in was simple and fast, the team members engaged with us and treated us chocolates. The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was amazing, most importantly the team members were great! They remembered our preferences! The whole experience was absolutely flawless! Hopefully we can visit again soon!

Truly a five star hotel. The facility is flawless, and the staff are wonderful. They will even go as so far to make custom food in the kitchen for you if needed (my 4 year old had an upset stomach and needed something as plain as can be). I highly recommend this hotel for when you and your family are staying in Amsterdam.

This place is great. From the Breakfast in the morning to the bar for a evening drink and everything in between. Not for kids. Must check out the outdoor courtyard on your stay in the evening. Great location in downtown Amsterdam. Right on the canal.

Me and my best friend enioyed the spectacular afternoon tea for our birthdays. We were so impressed by the delicious treats and beautifull creations.
