The hotel is very family-friendly, which made traveling with kids easy and stress-free. One of the biggest perks was the M Club Lounge, which offers daily breakfast and a comfortable space to recharge between sightseeing. Service was excellent from the start--we arrived early after an overnight flight and were pleasantly surprised to be checked in early, which made a huge difference after traveling. Clean rooms, great amenities, and an unbeatable location. Would absolutely stay here again, especially for a family trip or a holiday visit to Amsterdam.

I stayed at the Hoxton in Amsterdam for three nights and, at around $600 a night, I was expecting a…read morebit more. The best part of the stay was definitely the front desk staff. Everyone I interacted with there was professional, helpful, and friendly. Unfortunately, the good service at the front desk didn't extend to the rest of the hotel. The bar and Lotti's restaurant were both consistently understaffed, and the service was extremely slow. Lotti's also seemed to be out of a lot of the main dishes, even though the menu is already pretty limited. As for the rooms, they were okay, but felt a little worn and could really use some updating. Nothing terrible, but for what the hotel charges, I think you should be able to expect a bit more comfort and quality. After checking out the W Hotel nearby, which was much nicer for a similar price, I couldn't help but feel disappointed. For nearly $4500 after taxes for three nights in two rooms at the Hoxton, I honestly felt a bit cheated. Again, the front desk team deserves credit, but overall, I think the Hoxton needs to step up its game to justify these rates.

We stayed at the Pulitzer Amsterdam for one night prior to our Tauck River Cruise. Since the cruise…read morecompany covered the cost of the stay, it's probably not a hotel we would have selected on our own given the rates. The hotel itself is quite unique, consisting of a collection of historic canal houses connected together along one of Amsterdam's beautiful canals. The property has a lot of character and charm that you won't find in a typical luxury hotel. Service throughout our stay was personable and attentive. The standout feature for me was the hotel's bar located toward the rear of the property. If you're a fan of Old Fashioneds, be sure to try their version--it was one of the highlights of our visit. One thing prospective guests should be aware of is the noise level. Due to the age and construction of the historic buildings, sound insulation is virtually nonexistent. We could easily hear noise from neighboring rooms and hallways, so light sleepers may want to bring earplugs or consider another option. Overall, the Pulitzer offers a distinctive Amsterdam experience with excellent service and a fantastic bar, but the lack of soundproofing may be a concern for some guests.

As we were visiting Amsterdam again I decided, on this trip, to spoil us a little. On booking I was a little concerned that the Hard Rock organisation had taken this hotel over. So with trepidation I took the chance. OK, remember, we are oldies so can be hard to please some tell us. On arrival, the outside hadn't changed other than the bar now stretched out a little and there was service from the restaurant outside. Reception was so swift by a fantastic bubbly young lady who sorted out a room although we were three hours before the normal signing in. I wish I could remember her name. Walking to our room I noticed the architecture hadn't changed but the decoration was wonderful with so much rock music memorabilia. We LOVED it. The room, overlooking the canal, was a lot smaller than years ago but, shrug, space has to be filled. The room was more than adequate with a wonderful bathroom with walk-in shower. Breakfast was in the dining hall which was a high-light years ago. I was so pleased to see that none of the wonderful art deco had been lost. The President Hotel in Prague had ripped it all out there, sob. Here, there was modernisation, but the windows, walls and lights remained. Obviously the designer had looked and thought 'wow, we can't get rid of this'. Good on him/her. A fantastic stay and on our next visit we know where to stay. Really wish I could remember that young ladies name because she made that day for us. Hi

As someone who has stayed at many luxury properties around the world and has long appreciated the…read moreWaldorf Astoria brand, I can confidently say that Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam is one of the most memorable hotel experiences we have ever had. Amsterdam is a city filled with history, beauty, and charm, but this property elevates the experience to another level. Set within six meticulously restored 17th century canal palaces along the Herengracht, the hotel seamlessly blends historic grandeur with modern luxury. The restoration is breathtaking. Every corridor, courtyard, and common space feels thoughtfully curated while preserving the character of the original buildings. From the moment we arrived, we knew this stay would be special. Renata at check in was exceptional. Warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming, she made us feel valued from the very first interaction. First impressions matter, and she set the tone for an outstanding stay. We booked a Canal Suite, and it exceeded every expectation. The room was elegant, spacious, beautifully appointed, and offered incredible views of one of Amsterdam's most iconic canals. Every detail reflected the level of refinement one expects from a world class luxury hotel. One detail that deserves special recognition is the fragrance experience throughout the property. Luxury is often found in the smallest details, and the scent throughout the hotel and within the room created an atmosphere of calm, elegance, and sophistication. Long after leaving, it remains one of the details we most associate with our stay. Breakfast each morning was a highlight. Joana and Nick delivered the kind of service that turns a meal into an experience. Warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable, they made every morning enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed the Waldorf Tower breakfast, Eggs Benedict, and several other offerings from the menu. The quality, presentation, and execution were consistently outstanding. The spa was another highlight of our stay. Elegant, tranquil, and beautifully maintained, it provided the perfect retreat after long days exploring the city. Our favorite experience, however, was Vault Bar. Quite simply, Vault Bar is one of the finest cocktail bars we have visited anywhere in the world. Ignazio and his team are true artists. Their passion for hospitality and mixology is evident in every interaction. Each cocktail was thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and unlike anything we have experienced elsewhere. What they have created goes far beyond serving drinks. It is a complete sensory experience. The creativity, technical skill, and attention to detail place Vault Bar among the very best cocktail destinations we have encountered. Best Mixologist in the world. What truly separates Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam from other luxury hotels is its people. Beautiful buildings can be found anywhere. Exceptional service is much harder to achieve. From Renata at check in, to Joana and Nick at breakfast, to Ignazio and his remarkable team at Vault Bar, every interaction reflected genuine hospitality and a commitment to excellence. We love the Waldorf Astoria brand, but Amsterdam has a very special feel. There is an intimacy, warmth, and sense of place here that is difficult to describe and impossible to forget. If you are visiting Amsterdam and seeking a truly world class hotel experience, Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam is in a category of its own. We cannot wait to return.

As soon as my cab stopped in front, a man immediately came down the stairs to help me with my bag and escort me to the check in area. They asked if I wanted anything to drink and I said of course champagne! They gave me two! I checked in with Lisa who was amazing! She had me pick out a scent for my room. What? I didn't know that existed! Super fun! My room wasn't ready because I had booked late even though it was 3pm but I didn't mind waiting, especially when they gave me that 2nd glass of champagne. When I got my room, Lisa and Fae escorted me to the room to make sure I liked it and it was beautiful. I loved how the light came into the bathroom. On that note the bathtub was so nice I almost fell asleep in it! You receive welcome chocolates in the shape of Amsterdam shoes which were so cute and delicious! I ordered room service as the bar only served snacks and did not want to go to the restaurant by myself as it was really open. I got the Waldorf Astoria Burger which was amazing and so good! I'd go back to this hotel just for that burger itself. The next day I also had the breakfast and was able to get the whole tray of assortments and all the juices and coffee I wanted PLUS another dish! All complimentary with my Hilton Diamond status. I ordered the French toast and everything was delicious! Obviously I couldn't eat it all but was able to take some left to the room for later. I also had a spa appointment while here. Massage was great and the masseuse mentioned to see a physical therapist to help my lower back pain that I was complaining about as she said it was coming from my glutes, legs, knees. I've seen a couple of masseuses in the last two years in the states and one in Canada and NONE had ever even mentioned that that could help. I love this! Very professional staff. The spa also very serene with sauna, jacuzzi, and pool. They have a door to the garden which I'm assuming is beautiful in summer but I was here in February so it was freezing! When I checked out it was with Lisa again and she was great as usual and the guys helped me with my bags again when my uber came. They let me sit in the other room and said they'd let me know when it was here. Very nice. I did not want to leave. Haha!

You Get What You Pay For…read more I bartended for Hard Rock Cafe for 12 years. I love rock and roll, so when I saw this hotel it definitely jumped out at me. I will list the positives first since there are not that many: 1. The dayshift employee (cannot remember his name) was a very nice man. He recommended great vegan restaurants and was super cool. We actually ate at his recommendations for the remainder of our stay. He booked our taxi for us the night before our departure and was very hospitable. 2. The hotel lobby is set up like a bar/lounge with a pool table and it's cozy. 3. I liked the use of musical instruments such as a drum stool for a chair in the room and the drum light fixtures in the room. It adds to the theme of the hotel. 4. It was walking distance to a lot of cool places. Negatives: 1. Amsterdam is an old city with cute old buildings. I get it. We stayed at another hotel which was also an old building (and had a very slow elevator; but still had an elevator). This hotel had nearly 90-degree stairs to carry 50 lb. luggage up four flights of stairs (we called them ladders). I could not imagine anyone with a disability or elderly ever staying there for their safety. Literally, the stairs were about 4 inches wide. I slipped on them. sober. 2. The clients mostly consisted of younger hipsters that we could hear stumbling in at night after drinks and the walls are paper thin. We even heard someone fart in the next room. 3. To drown out the noise of the other clients, my partner and I used a rain app on our smartphone so that we could get some sleep (let me add that it was currently pouring outside). We get a loud knock on our door, waking us at two o'clock in the morning by the nightshift employee, telling us to turn the rain sound down. This woke us up and we were literally trying to book a room at two o'clock in the morning at a different hotel due to his unprofessionalism. It's like, how about telling the clients that are actually making the noise to be more quiet? If you are a young and do not mind the paper-thin walls and the ladder stairs, the disgruntled night shift employee that patrols the halls for noise, and have minimal luggage, then I would recommend this place for the location. Otherwise, stay somewhere else.
