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!

Inside the restaurants

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.

It is in the…read morebeautiful Jordaan area right by the Anne Frank museum, Tulip musekm, and De 9 Straatjes with lots of cafes and shopping. The area feels very safe. Liked the interior decor/design and focus on eco-friendly sustainable practices as well. The staff are super friendly and helpful - they provided a map and made lots of great recommendations regarding restaurants and things to see. The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious - has A/C. There is a safe available in the room as well, though there was no fridge. Loved all the snacks they provided, from the gummy bears in the room, to pastries and coffee in the communal area downstairs. They also provided a snack goodie bag on checkout though I forgot to pick mine up when I went back to pick up my stored luggage at the end of the day. Overall, a fantastic stay and would highly recommend!

The free coffee machine tasted amazing and had lots of options, and it saved us so much money from not having to buy coffee at cafes! The room was beautiful and you can play all types of games in the lobby. Dami at the front desk was super helpful and helped us navigate to everywhere we wanted to go. She made our trip so much better by being so helpful and telling us all about the transit and giving us lists of restaurants, events etc. She was super sweet and has incredible customer service skills! Definitely recommend this hotel.

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.

Perfect location, extremely friendly people, great vibe--my family loved this hotel and will stay…read moreagain.
