A perfect example of what true luxury hospitality should feel.
Pros:

My stay at the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam was truly unforgettable. I don’t think I have ever encountered so many genuinely welcoming and warm team members in one hotel. From the moment I arrived, I felt not just welcomed, but sincerely cared for.
What made this stay extra special were the lovely conversations and personal interactions with the staff, every encounter felt natural, kind, and thoughtful.

A very special thank you to Shannon, Sabina, and Krisztian, who each made my stay even more memorable with their warmth, professionalism, and authentic kindness.

I absolutely loved my stay and will cherish the memories. A perfect example of what true luxury hospitality should feel.

This should be your first choice hotel in Amsterdam
Pros:

I visited the Waldorf Astoria in January 2026 on a work trip over 2 weeks. It was my first time here, I have spent over 30 years visiting hotels of this level around the world. I can honestly say that this is the warmest friendly welcome I have ever received in a hotel by every member of staff, I was made to feel like family, but a favourite family member! Not the other kind!!
From the initial lovely welcome at the door right through to the delightful staff working in every area including the room service, laundry, and technical staff walking around the hotel. The staff here are absolutely amazing, if I didn’t have a home, I would choose to live here!
The hotel is situated in a perfect central location, with a canal outside the front door to go for a walk or jump on a boat and see what Amsterdam has to offer.
The food is delicious and the club sandwich which is my go to in every hotel is a strong 9/10.
The rooms are luxurious, spacious and extremely quiet.
If I had to look for negatives in search of perfection, the en suite bathroom towels could be larger and the downstairs breakfast restaurant would be a nice choice for dining in the evening as the tables and chairs are the right height, coffee tables and sofas in lobby are a little low for eating off. So if those are my only negatives, this hotel is absolutely delightful and should be your number one choice when coming to Amsterdam.
Thank you Waldorf

Timeless luxury with impeccable attention to detail
Pros:

Our stay at the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam in June 2025 was exceptional. I traveled with my teenage daughter to experience the city, which has since become her favorite in the world and the Waldorf Astoria was a perfect base for discovering it.

The hotel is beautiful and steeped in history, set gracefully along the canal yet within an easy walk of the city center. It feels elegant and composed, with a strong sense of place that’s increasingly rare in luxury hotels.

Dining throughout our stay was excellent. Breakfasts felt formal in the best way, unhurried, refined, and consistently delicious, with standout food quality. The wait staff were personable and the service excellent. The rooms were spacious and serene, the beds exceptionally comfortable, and the attention to detail immediately noticeable. From the fixtures and finishes to the pillows, linens, and Aesop products, everything reflected genuine quality. We were also welcomed with beautiful local chocolates, both upon arrival and again in our room, thoughtfully presented and absolutely delicious.

These details matter deeply to me just as they do in my own home and when choosing a luxury hotel, they’re not optional. The Waldorf Astoria delivers across the board. I especially appreciated being asked which scent I preferred for the room upon arrival, as well as the thoughtful farewell gift of a solid perfume, which now lives in my linen closet and still brings back the feeling of our stay.

Amsterdam itself is vibrant, multicultural, and full of life. We experienced several rainy days, which are part of the city’s character, yet the hotel created such a warm and comfortable atmosphere that it never felt like a disruption only a pleasure to return to.

This service deserves special mention. When we realized after departure that my daughter had left her camera behind, the team immediately took care of mailing it back to us in the U.S. without hesitation. That level of ease and attentiveness speaks volumes.

A truly polished and thoughtful luxury experience. We would return without question.

A Magical Afternoon Christmas Tea
Pros:

We enjoyed the Afternoon Christmas Tea at the Waldorf Astoria, and it was a truly delightful experience. The Pol Roger Brut Réserve champagne was absolutely delicious, and the ambiance was magical with beautifully decorated surroundings and live piano music adding a festive touch.

The food was a real highlight each item presented like a little work of art, both in taste and appearance. Every detail felt thoughtful, from service to presentation, making this a luxurious and memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in a special Christmas tea.

Wonderful hotel
Pros:

I stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam with a friend for two nights and truly enjoyed every moment. From check-in to check-out, everything was seamless, and the entire team was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and attentive. The atmosphere throughout the hotel was warm, cozy, and very welcoming. A special mention goes to Dimitrios at the Front Desk, who, together with the rest of the team, made our stay a truly unforgettable experience.
