Absolutely charming, fabulous hotel...
Pros:

Our room was so charming. The location of the hotel in Amsterdam was excellent. The Hotel itself is over the top in decor.
Absolutely beautiful and furnished beyond anything I have seen in hotels. I recommend it highly.

Cons:

Breakfast was not my favorite. However, it is the way of eating in Europe.

A diamond in Amsterdam.
Pros:

The Hotel Estheréa is full of quirky delights. Each room is decorated in its own unique style and is a very special space. We have stayed there on four different occasions and would recommend this hotel to anyone planning a stay in Amsterdam - the reception area and bar/breakfast room are decorated to the highest standard and I can almost guarantee that you will never have stayed anywhere quite like it.
Staff members are friendly and knowledgeable and there is always a warm welcome, not least from the two cats who call the hotel home.
Bar snacks are excellent - you must try the fries - and there’s a good range of cocktails etc on offer. Breakfast has plenty of options available, to suit all tastes.
The Estheréa is well situated for sightseeing.

Very disappointed
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

We booked for two nights . On the first morning, there was no power in the room . We were on the fifth floor and no elevator was working. No shower or lights. We left the hotel and came back at 4pm and still no power. Walked up the stairs again ! No offer of compensation or apologies. €500 per night for that !!

Nice property with some caveats ...
Pros:

The hotel's aesthetics are quite appealing and create a charming first impression. Overall, the property is attractive, though some areas are beginning to show signs of wear and could benefit from a refresh to maintain a more upscale feel.

One aspect that didn't live up to the hype was the much-discussed "snacks" that many reviewers rave about. In reality, they consisted of packaged cookies, which were underwhelming. Guests looking for a memorable treat would be far better served by visiting one of the excellent local bakeries nearby.

Breakfast was very good, although it comes at an additional cost. The bar staff in the evenings were consistently friendly and welcoming; however, during our five-night stay, the bar never seemed to have all of the items available from its "bites" menu, which was disappointing when you planned on having that be your dinner after a long day of sightseeing.

The guest rooms are admittedly small, but that's to be expected given the historic nature of the property and wasn't a surprise. Ours was very well appointed with a very comfortable bed.

The most significant drawback, in my opinion, was the level of customer service at the front desk. The property appears to be staffed primarily by very young employees who often lacked the maturity and experience needed to provide the polished service one would expect from a top-tier hotel. Simple guest-service situations sometimes felt as though they were being handled by individuals who had not yet developed the judgment and professionalism that come with experience.

That said, would I stay here again? Yes. The location is excellent, and I highly recommend Casa di David for dinner—it's just a short walk away and absolutely fabulous. I would return, but with tempered expectations regarding front desk service. With stronger training and more experienced hospitality leadership, this property could elevate itself from a good stay to a truly exceptional one.
