First class experience
Pros:

If I could give this hotel 10 stars I would! Stayed here with my husband for one night as we were in Amsterdam for a Rhine River Cruise. This was possibly the classiest hotel I have ever stayed! From the minute you walk in, you feel like royalty. Every member of the staff is top notch and even remember your name. The rooms are beautiful and well appointed. The AC works great, the bed is totally comfortable, rooms are spotless, great water pressure etc. We were upgraded to a suite and had a canal view as we had mentioned that we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary and my husband is diamond status. Thank you so much Waldorf for a very memorable stay and we will always stay there anytime we are in Amsterdam.

Five star experience at WA in Amsterdam
Pros:

My wife and I visited Amsterdam just a day before the busy Kings day in April. We wanted to enjoy the city, walk around the lively neighborhoods which we know quite well, do shopping and eat well. In order to support that we decided to stay in Waldorf Astoria, this proved to be perfect choice.

We arrived separate ways, I from another city in Holland and my wife from airport. We both had a great arrival, friendly staff greeted us and helped with the check-in. A fun detail is that you get to choose the room scent, which the staff will use when cleaning the room. As we were early in, we got our room later and off we went to the city. When returning with lots of shopping bags, the staff took them to our room and we went to the beautiful garden on the inner yard of the hotel for some drinks.

Our room itself was excellent: fresh, functioning with spacious bath room and wonderfully soft bed. Everything worked in the room, we encountered zero issues. For once on our trips we did not use gym or spa, as we were so busy in the city.

The drinks service for the garden and naturally breakfast were top notch. Breakfast is not a buffet, but rather table served based on the menu you select. Everything tasted good, and service was overly friendly and attentive. Great experience indeed.

I would like to mention also positively the people at the door. Extremely helpful and talkative, with some great advice and always smiling. It felt like coming home when you enter in front of the hotel, and there they were welcoming you.

Finally, we took the hotel transport to the airport with Luxurious e-Mercedes. Driver knew how to avoid the jam at the airport and we got in thru the side: fast and effortless.

A tired and dull hotel with lovely staff
Pros:

For € 2,000 a night a suite should not just be large, but welcoming. Not a single frill of any quality in a bland and dated interior decoration reminiscent of an airport hotel. Not one feature of quality about the hotel interior except it was clean. Dull lunch on offer, ok breakfast, dungeon bar setting but all the staff really very nice. I suppose it is the corporate designer and the aging of it all that lets it down.
