We stayed at this hotel during the back half of our trip to Amsterdam. I was looking for a hotel that provided a high quality stay, while being slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of the city center and Pestana Amsterdam Riverside fit the bill.
We were impressed as soon as we walked into the building as the lobby is inviting and gorgeous and we were able to check-in to our room hours ahead of our advertised check-in time. The river view room was perfect! The room was spacious and the view was beautiful. The bed was even more comforatble than my one at home and the hotel offered options to have alternative pillow sytles delivered to the room to match personal preferences.
With fewer food options in the direct vicinity (less than 1 min walk) we ended up ordering last night room service twice. The food was solid and showed up very quickly. On the first night, I had some technical difficulty with the app for ordering room service which resulted in me having to call in the food. To me this was no big deal, but the next evening the hotel sent up a bottle of sparkling wine and some dessert to apologize for the incovience. I was blown away and this really speaks to how the hotel takes care of its guests.
Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to check out the resturant or the spa, but I would be shocked if they we not also great! read more
