9.2
+ Good-sized rooms for a major city. Lovely bathroom. Comfortable beds. Pleasant lounge. Helpful staff. Interesting decor, including lovely orchids.
- A bit noisy. (Noise from the street in the first part of the night and noise from a nearby bedroom at about 4.00 am) Perhaps better glazing and insulation are needed? The dining room was a bit tight for space.
ADRIAN WONDERFUL, RELAXING STAY
10
+ WE BOOKED A STANDARD DOUBLE FOR 99 EUROS, BUT WERE UPGRADED TO A REALLY BEAUTIFUL ROOM WITH A PRIVATE BALCONY. THE STAFF WERE EXCEPTIONALLY FRIENDLY. ALSO, IT HAS AN UNBEATABLE CANAL-SIDE LOCATION : QUIET, YET CLOSE TO EVERYTHING.
CRAIG RUSSELL Luxuriously tranquil
9.4
+ The staff were very friendly and helpful, keen to assist with any queries. The decor of the hotel was rather ornate, but seemed to fit with the place. The complimentary tea, coffee or hot chocolate, along with cakes and sweets, was very pleasant after a rather damp day of sightseeing. The cleanliness of the bedroom and public areas was high.
- Accessability for wheel chair users was limited, not an issue for ourselves but could be for others
Jakub Klimek Just perfect

Kelly Excellent stay
9.4
+ Service was really good, very friendly and helpful. I really liked the fact that the hotel was so central to everything without being in the heart of the tourist area and the red light district.
Jonathan Deves Luxury at a reasonable price
10
+ Fantastic hotel. Reasonably priced and beautifully maintained. So different to the other places I have stayed in Europe. If you go with the double deluxe, as I did, you'll get a pristine bathroom - enormous with a jet spa. Couldn't have hoped for better.

Nice pakce to stay for a weekend in Amsterdam
9.6
+ The hotel has been very nicely refrubished. Overall though the lobby, public rooms,are very nice, even oelegant. Most of the hotel staff were very friendly, and helpful
- Our room was very dimly lit, and not much natural light came in. Not all of the front desk staff were friendly
EM Gregorie, MD All the Best is here.
10
+ This is one of the best hotels in which I have had the pleasure to stay. The service is outstanding. The selection of rooms is varied and the one used on this trip was truly a home away from home: bed, bath and service. The location is perfectly located in one of the most beautiful and historic areas. You can walk anywhere, museums, shops, and the Centraal Station. Library with computer & room wireless are available. One of the best restaurants in the country is a 2 minute walk away with many others of all ilk. The staff worked above and far beyond to locate a cell phone I lost in town. A call to police, assured its presence and location and then they gave me directions to reclaim my misplaced phone that was fortunately found and turned in. Detailed information with regard to virtually any aspect of a visit is readily available that the desk. I will be returning and would consider no other hotel.
- If you drive, parking is expensive but that is a city wide issue. It's there, but is sold through midnight via a meter in the street. A ticket for an extended period can be bought and placed in the car window. I hasten to add that given the outstanding public transportation system, a car is really not needed. Taxi's, if used, are reasonable. Transportation from the airport to the hotel is available and inexpensive, a separate company.
Jeremy A sure thing
10
+ This was a great place to stay. The location was perfect, just outside of the busy and loud tourist area of the center, but east walking distance to same. If I go back to Amsterdam I will stay at the Estherea.
- We stayed on the first floor. The big orange lights outside are hotel window attracted bugs. One night we had to close the windows and instead use the AC. The only real negative about the hotel is that they charged a day rate for using their WIFI. I don't think there should be any charge to use WIFI
Jenny Ms
8.4
+ Location is perfect, I spent almost 10 days and I walked everyday. Staff is very helpfull (exception one person from front desk, very polite but not very helpful). It's a beutiful hotel, all the rooms has something different in the deccor. Clean. Love the breakfast and the complimentary coffee at any time. Our stay was very very pleasent!!! Definetely will come back!
- The extra charges... they charge for internet access in your room (Wi Fi, but business center is for free), charge for every phone call even if it's a local call. And even paying for the internet sometimes half of my stay they had problems with the conection.
Gavin Nice location and comfortable stay
8.6
+ central location, great bathroom, nice lobby, and coffee! nice looking decor/furniture. very good size bed for amsterdam.
- floor is uneven, building is old/renovated and seems to be hiding an older not so nice hotel. the illusion is good. typically small rooms for amsterdam.
Heather Off the beaten path but still in the middle of everything.
10
+ Great decor, pleasant staff, fantastic location.
Nina Donna Sto. Domingo A cozy stay in Amsterdam
9.0

Brian Cavan A really nice family run hotel in a good location near the city centre
9.4
+ Very courteous staff on the front desk. Close to all the city centre in a nice quiet part of the city. Very clean room with quality furnishings and air conditioning. Child friendly with free tea, coffee and biscuits near the reception area. Definetely somewhere i would go back to after having stayed in sevveral hotels in amsterdam. Very relaxing areas to sit and enjoy the free tea and coffee or meet up with friends or use the twofree computers with access to the internet.
Alan This beautiful romantic hotel combines charm with modern conveniences.
10
+ Excellent service, lovely large room overlooking canal, modern bathroom, beautiful and elegant public areas, romantic, great location for touring Amsterdam
- Not a terrific breakfast for the money
Deborah Clyne Affordable luxury with outstanding service
9.2
+ We received an upgraded room which was extremely spacious and elegant. The service was outstanding. The lobby and library areas were comfortable and beautiful. The hotel was well situated. The free internet was appreciated. And finally but not least, the hotel offered free self serve coffee, tea and hot chocolate all day and also unexpectedly, cookies, candy and some delicious and fancy pasteries. We have never felt so welcome in any hotel. Kudos to all the staff.
- Our room had some steps up to the bathroom, which was inconvenient at night. This was a minor point really, considering how lovely the room was.
Vivienne A fabulous find for our first trip to Amsterdam for ages 8,47 and 80!
10
+ We really thought the hotel and all staff were excellent. Friendly, efficient and professional. We would definitely not stay anywhere else in Amsterdam.
- The lift was very slow - otherwise no negatives at all.
