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.”

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.

Location

Second time visiting, we found this time the hotel was very dated, felt the hotel and rooms were quite grubby. Not the 5* experience that you pay for. The cleanliness of the hotel has extremely gone down since the last time we visited. Didn’t like that the lifts to the floors 1A + B, 2A + B, etc one lift had broken down so we kept having to use the staff lift that had a very bad smell and was extremely dirty. The lift was out of use the whole time we were there. We took the stairs some times but not what you want after walking the city. Hotel did provide us with free late checkout until 2pm which was lovely.

Fun fab friendly

Great location, smart style, pleasant staff. I’d let them know if was my partner’s birthday and they’d arranged for complimentary Prosecco and macarons to our room on arrival.

Quite persistent room cleaning service despite us having do not disturb turned on!

I wouldn’t stay again

Cool design, good location. Great restaurant and great gym.

Facilities spread over 2 building so I had to go outside in the rain at 6am to use the gym. A lot of noise in the evening from music so I struggled to sleep. Nothing clearly signed in the hotel and not many staff to ask for directions. I would have expected breakfast to be included for £400 per night.

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.
