W Hotel, Amsterdam

Spuistraat 175, 1012 VN Amsterdam, The Netherlands (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Several high-end hotels have recently debuted across the city, among them the W Amsterdam. Opened in 2015 by the central Dam Square, the property offers 238 stylish rooms and suites, plus a rooftop pool with views of the neighboring royal palace.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Amsterdam.

Forbes review:

“W Amsterdam is divided across two structures: the Exchange and Bank buildings. Built in 1924, the former was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Larkin Building, and it originally housed the telephone switchboard of the Royal Dutch Post. Nowadays, it is home to the vibrant W Lounge, a heated rooftop pool overlooking the Royal Palace.”

Telegraph review:

“Housed in an erstwhile telephone exchange building (from the 1920s), as well as in a 1906 former bank across the road, W boasts space, style and edgy design, while bringing a touch of New York pizzazz and snap-to-it service to Amsterdam. The rooftop lounge bar is hard to beat.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

This intriguing hotel is split between two unique buildings, with each one having its own style which remarkably works perfectly together as a whole. One of the buildings used to be a telephone exchange building while the other was a bank, creating a perfect mix of contemporary and traditional design.

The style of the 238 rooms in the hotel is innovative, to say the least, and of course luxurious. Also, the hotel has 23 stylish suites, 3 WOW suites and 2 lavish Extreme WOW suites. In these rooms, you can find an LCD TV, an iPod docking station, seating area, air conditioning, modern furniture providing unmatched comfort. The rooms also feature red are rugs creating a welcoming feel for guests, a built-in sofa with throw pillows design to provide unrivaled comfort while watching the 40-inch TV. The rooms have an open-concept with the shower enclosed in frosted glass coupled with Bliss sink-side six-bath that is sure to give you maximum refreshment.

The hotel has a famous rooftop lounge which was put in place to give guests a nice view while relaxing. Guests have an option from any of the three restaurants in the hotel to get delicious and tasty meals.

Located just a kilometer away from the Central Station, 14 km from Schipol Airport and less than a 5-minute walk from the Nine Streets shopping area. This makes it an excellent location for tourists and visitors to the city. Make use of the free Wi-Fi, available in any public area, in the hotel and stay connected to the world.

Very comfortable night

Extremely central, convenient location, helpful staff, and a stylish, comfortable, well-appointed, room.

A decisive factor in selecting this hotel was the rooftop pool - but it was shut. Very disappointing - and strange that the hotel didn't mention it in the pre-arrival-info email. UPDATE: Having messaged the hotel about this disappointment, I received extremely gracious emails from both the Duty Manager and the General Manager, the latter of whom in particular went out of his way to explain the pool had been open and that we had just been misinformed - but also to make offers of accessing the pool and other amends for the next time we are in Amsterdam. An unusual and impressive level of attention to communication from guests - we were grateful for it and thought it was important to note here, too.

Stylish hotel in a great location

Stylish hotel and the room was quirky. I didn't eat in the hotel, so can't comment, but the staff were all really friendly and the location is great.

I didn't like the split property, so the reception is across the street from the rooms and It all felt a bit disjointed to be honest. Lovely hotel though,

Great, except for the W lounge.

Staff, rooms, location

W lounge, we started our evening here, lounge reception staff were rude, we waited around 45mins to be served and a further 20minutes for our drinks. It wasn’t possible to order at the bar, it was table service without the service.

Was a good stay for the most part just a few things that made it not the best for a five star hotel and suite as mention

The suite was lovely and intimate in terms of aesthetics. The reception staff was very helpful and gave me a nice gift as I left. They made it nice as it was for my anniversary and provided Prosecco and a lovely heart chocolate & card.

Not a fan of the shower in the room as it was small for a suite. There was nowhere to hang towels. The check in and out staff was not the best and a little rude. The in room dining charged for delivery which I have never seen at a hotel before. The lighting in the room wasn’t the best and for a suite it wasn’t greatly noise insulated as I could hear other people talking outside and slamming doors. The upstairs TV had no connection to chrome cast and could only watch normal tv which was annoying as the downstairs one worked perfectly. The iPad in the room was pointless as it did not work and had a date on it from 2007.

Great hotel but the room was cramped with a poor layout.

Great location, very chill building. Awesome staff

Our room was a let down. Very cramped, we booked a city view which was a very small window facing some air conditioning units. The room layout was bizarre. The shower felt like a cupboard and left me feeling claustrophobic. Was very much looking forward to my stay but the room left me feeling disappointed

Maybe the price was a bit more than expected for that level of hotel. Also because I booked throuhgh Booking.com it was hard to manage any changes to the bookings on site and also as we were traveling as a group by I was paying for everything that became an issue as we booked through Booking.com

The location was excellent, the staff at the front desk were friendly, and I would like to specially thank Anastisia, the front desk manager who looked after us during our stay. They even sent us cake and chocolate to the room as it was our anniversary. The restaurant Mr. Porter is amazing, the best steak I ever tasted. The bed was very comfortable as well.

The jacuzzi was not working at the spa

W Hotel’s nice modern property vibe and interior in a good location, but expected more from staff and quality of the W c

Receptionist staff was very friendly and accommodated an early check in. Rooftop lounge, bar, and restaurant area, vibe, and view was nice. Good location.

Rooms were okay, breakfast staff not friendly or accommodating. Doorman was very rude and unfriendly, don’t rely on him for booking you a taxi to the airport.

Wonderful hotel, facilities and location, Staff and Management clearly know this, and can be less customer focussed tha

Excellent location. Fabulous bar. Fabulous restaurants. Fabulous Spa.

We have stayed more than once, but staff and management were quite offhand. Refused to give us our room on time. We waited from 3pm until 9pm to get access because they had “sold an extension to the previous occupant”. Management refused to discuss the matter while we were there or afterwards. Reception staff quite offhand. No alternative facilities offered.

•bed was very comfortable •location was good •nice size room •staff friendly • location i didn’t check out the spa or pool area unfortunately so I cannot comment.

when I arrived there was an event on at the W’s bar. Although it was clear to security and everyone else I was arriving at the hotel with my two suitcases out of a taxi, they didn’t move or attempt to help me. in fact they stood in the way. so I was just stood there with my two suitcases whilst the two idiot security stood infront of me. to be totally honest I was expecting someone to help me with my bags as what happens in any 5* hotel. anyway, after I pulled my bags in myself and made my way past the two security guards who were on a one in a lifetime power trip I checked in. the check in staff were very nice. however, again I had to take my own luggage to my room. that’s just not something I’m at all familiar with in $500 a night hotels lol.

Very nice but super expensive hotel

The location is perfect, the atmosphere is great and the food is excellent. The spa treatments are also great and the Duchess restaurant is amazing although both are very expensive

The rooms are very small, the service is not that good and the prices are very very high…

Possibly too cool

Nice canal view room; excellent shower; comfortable bed; cool vibe

Very small room for 2 people - no bathroom as such - a (great) closet shower and wc with one (large) basin in the room; no comfortable place to sit in the room apart from the bed (very comfortable). Always a shame to spend a few days away in a room smaller than my bedroom at home. Would I rush back? No, not least because of indifferent service.

Nice but expensive.

The hotels biggest asset is without doubt its wonderful staff. Its location and spa facilities are very good and I would highly recommend the breakfast. The outdoor pool is pretty spectacular too.

We stayed over Christmas and I feel that given the overall cost - £3,000 for 4 nights - there were no little extras to make it feel special or Christmassy. Our room was nice, but you have to pay for the most expensive room if you want a bath. The shower in our room wasn’t very practical either. It’s just a shower cubicle with nowhere to get dressed other than in the main bedroom and there are no hooks to hang damp towels or robes.
