The decor was simply magical. Everything from the patterns of the wallpaper juxtaposed with patterns of the bed covers, color was everywhere. You’d might think it is too much visually, but actually quite the contrary: it is a visual feast for the eyes. I don’t think I’ll ever stay anywhere else without comparing it to the aesthetics of Hotel Estheréa. For sleeping, the bed was lovely, the linens refreshing, and the attention to detail amazing (extra pillows in the storage, little fridge stocked with fresh cold waters). The reception area is lovely: a variety of comfortable seats and inviting sofas, and there are even complimentary refreshments available. The staff was quite accommodating: we were always met with a friendly smile and a cheerful disposition.

Nothing.

The property is in a great location close to the major sights. And the tram system is also close by. The decor of the hotel is very beautiful and the communal lobby and bar was inviting and fun to hang out in especially with the company of the two hotel cats. Bed very comfortable. Hotel staff were all friendly and helpful and all spoke excellent English, as we spoke so little Dutch!

Our stay was excellent apart from the location of our room.The room was on the first floor opposite the elevators and with the housekeeping linen cupboards outside the door. So in the morning it was noisy from the housekeeping staff talking and restocking their linen right beside our door. From the floor plan in the hotel, it also looks like this room is a little smaller than others and it also have a window that looks out into an internal air well. Not good if you want a canal view. All rooms are not created equal I believe.

We stayed in 7 different mostly excellent accommodations on a recent trip to Europe and this was, hands down, our favorite. It is absolutely beautiful and was all decked out for the holiday season. I imagine everything sparkles there year-round. It is like a wonderland. There are refreshments in the lobby at all hours, and while very elegant, it is also very welcoming and comfortable. The staff are also exceptional as is the breakfast. They have a signature scent which wafts toward you as you approach the hotel from the street - though it is not overpowering. Of course, we bought a bottle to bring home. Bathtub/shower is also excellent though it could use a step stool for little old people to get in and out of. The location is also very convenient. They were wonderful to correspond with prior to our trip and even better in person. Exceptional!

The lift is tiny but not much to be done about that. It did lead to some fun conversations and literal closeness with other guests as we all squeezed in. Not a deterrent to staying there again.

This is a graceful, elegant, but hardly understated hotel in a good location, right on a canal and close to cafes, shops, restaurants, Ann Frank House. Staff is super nice, welcoming, helpful. I loved the decor so much… it felt like it was done just to please me, which it did!

This does not really reflect directly on the hotel but … unfortunately, the City placed a stinky public open mens’ urinal right in front of the hotel. Our second floor room overlooked it. It begs the question, why would men need public sidewalk toilets all over town but women would not?!

A beautiful hotel located in the centre of Amsterdam. The staff were friendly and attentive and as 1st time travellers abroad we were worried about the language difference. No need. Everybody spoke perfect English. The young man behind the bar (by the name of Dyson) and his female colleague (sorry not sure of her name) were perfect for the job. So personable and made great cocktails as well. Definitely a place to return to.

Our room (No. 308) was at the front of the building with a view of the canal. It was small - not an issue, but the toilet and shower were enclosed in what can only be described as an opaque glass cube offering no privacy at all.

Beautiful room. Friendly staff.

The toilet and shower is right inside the room. Of course with a door separating them. It's like that in most of these hotels in Amsterdam in canal area.

Friendly staff and welcome. Beautiful decor both in public areas and room.

Room was a bit cold and could not find any way to warm it up.

Fantastic decor, really nice to have complimentary coffee, tea and biscuits in the lobby. The little cakes were delicious. With the very comfortable lounge this makes a really nice place to wait if you arrive before your check-in.

The breakfast wasn’t great for the price. Also, the dining room is too small for the size of the hotel so was very busy and not that relaxing. This wouldn’t however stop me staying again.

This hotel offered a delightful experience, nestled in a prime location just a short stroll from the city’s heart. The staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming, making every guest feel valued. I would highly recommend this hotel and eagerly anticipate returning.

We loved the central location, close to attractions and restaurants and yet away from the noise. We were 5 minutes to Dam Square. We had 2 rooms, one facing the canal and a triple. The rooms were not huge but beautifully furnished. We loved their beautiful cats. The staff was polite and quick to respond to our requests. We loved the blue room which had biscuits and refreshments always available.

The electricity being turned off when the rooms were cleaned every day so it meant the fridges were turned off for the day until we returned and that could have affected my wife’s diabetic medication that was in the fridge. It would have been nice if they had informed us in advance that that was their policy and we would have made arrangements for them to store the medications in their hotel fridge. The bathrooms need hooks for the towels. Since the hotel’s policy is green, however with no hooks, we had no choice but to leave the towels for washing every day. There was a strong smell of marijuana, especially in the triple room and whilst it’s not the hotel’s responsibility, we could have done without it.
