    Hands down the absolute BEST treat on the entire High Tea at the Waldorf.
    Holly M.

    Truly an experience! My sister and I cannot thank Ranu enough for welcoming us to High Tea last week at the Waldorf in Amsterdam. We'd been waitlisted online, but since I didn't speak/read Dutch, I hadn't realized it and we showed up anyway. Ranu was a true professional: he welcomed us regardless, provided a complimentary glass of champagne, asked the chef if he could accommodate an extra high tea service, and we were set! This wasn't just High Tea, this was a Christmas experience. From the beautiful decor and live piano player gently entertaining in the corner, to the sumptuous treats laid out in storybook fashion. My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed reading each description (in true storybook style!) before tasting the savory and sweet treats. I'll admit some of the bites were more delicious than others, but the overall experience was absolutely one of the best I've had. You can't go wrong making a reservation here. We got VERY lucky the day we walked in, and I am grateful to Ranu for being so very kind and making our last day in Amsterdam so incredibly memorable.

    What a privilege it was to stay at this outstanding hotel. The WA definitely lived up to its name. Everything was extremely classy; from the bed, the linens, the bathroom products, call mom to the room itself. The best part was the service we were treated with respect personally shown to everything. Upon entering, we were greeted at the door and taken into a reception room. After going through the normal hotel logistics, we were given a refreshing sparkling beverage. We were introduced to four different fragrances, and we could choose one for our room. The hotel is made up of a collection of townhomes dating back to the 17th century. They are a joined using the first floor, a.k.a. the second floor for the Americans to get to our room, we had to go a little up and down, but this added to the delight of staying at the hotel. The beds were remarkably comfortable. Everything was tidied up for us. Every time we left the room we had complementary bottles of water, both sparkling and still, and our own Nespresso machine. I like to go swimming and go to the steam room and sauna very late at night. These are all open for use until 9pm. Beyond that you are permitted to use these facilities, but someone has to come down and open them for you. I took advantage of this and enjoyed my very own personal leisure time. This is one of the most exquisite hotels I have ever stayed in. Everything is absolutely wonderful. I can't wait to come and visit again.

    Everything is amazing. If you have the opportunity to stay here because you're hard like that, then you will have an amazing experience. My whole entire stay was perfect from check-in to check-out. Notable things: 1) When you check-in, you sit down with someone (not stand like other hotels) and they serve you chocolates and a hot towel. 2) During the check-in process, you get to smell some perfumes, one of which you will pick to spray in your room during evening room prep. 3) The evening room prep is amazing where they pretty much remotely tuck you into bed (bottle of water and a glass on the night stand, slippers and cloth next to the bed, Dutch candies, dimmed lights). 4) They serve afternoon tea The Peacock Alley just past the lobby, yes, it's worth it! 5) The breakfast was just as elegant and delicious! Best of the best!

    Wow what an excellent experience with the staff here. They were absolutely brilliant to help my wife and I enjoy the full experience of the city. They went out of their way to help us get Football tickets set up private art showings and set up perfect shopping experiences for my wife and I. I highly recommend this hotel well worth it.

    I loved the heated bathroom floor. We were upgraded to the top floor and had a cute nook that looked out onto the city canal. Awesome staff!

    Absolutely stunning - the best hotel experience I've ever had and I have traveled all over the world. The accommodations were spectacular, the food and coffee was superb, but what tops everything is the incredible service provided by the staff. Every staff member was kind, friendly, helpful, and bent over backwards to accommodate every request. I am so impressed, cannot say thank you enough to this wonderful place and its staff members!

    Definitely a five star experience, it is pricey, but the service and food are outstanding here. From the bread freshly baked served on the table to the chef's special lunch everything was an experience and a very positive one. All ingredients are fresh, seasonal, cooked perfectly and combined in harmony with other ingredients. Reservation is recommended for this place since they are booked way in advance.

    The Waldorf Amsterdam is beautifully designed and in an amazing location walking distance to several attractions. From check-in thru check-out, the service was exceptional. We used the concierge to book a private canal tour and they were able to seamlessly coordinate a canal boat pick-up from right outside the hotel as well as secure a last minute visit at the Anne Frank House. We look forward to visiting Amsterdam again and will 100% be returning to this hotel.

    Very nice hotel that definitely deserves its five star status. The hotel is centrally located in Amsterdam and within walking distance of the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum, Foodhallen, the Anne Frank House, and many other sights and attractions. The beds are comfortable and although the rooms are small, the rooms still exude five star vibes. The breakfast at the hotel is also great and delicious, especially the Belgian waffles. Overall, the Waldorf, while pricey, is one of the best hotels in Amsterdam and you definitely get what you pay for here.

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.

It hadn't changed since Mata Hari (First World War female spy) had stayed there. 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
