We chose this hotel for its unique location and decoration. It was our best choice in Amsterdam! The hotel is very central, allowing us to make several walks walking through the city, we were several times the main square, Dam, walking...Now speaking of the hotel itself: wonderful decoration, a very welcoming reception with coffee machines, biscuits and cakes always at the guests' disposal at no additional cost. The room we stayed had an inside view, but very quiet and comfortable; mattress, pillows and bed linen five stars. We were in 01 couple and my daughter of 15, room with 01 big bed and 01 single, found little space for luggage. Breakfast is a spectacle, you need to make a reservation 01 day before but it is very worth it, everything very fresh, croissants made at all times, delicious cakes, fresh fruits, natural juice, champagne, cheeses, salamaria, everything very tasty, by the way the best croissant we have eaten in our whole trip! When we return to Amsterdam this will definitely be our hotel!

GORGEOUS! This boutique hotel is amazing. And especially now during the holiday season. It is decorated beautifully inside and out. The hotel lobby is breathtaking and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Our room was very comfortable and surprisingly bigger than we expected in this small hotel. Probably my only suggestion would be to include breakfast with your room or it should not be as expensive as it was since it is all self-serve breakfast, even to get your coffee and tea from a machine. With everything else so luxurious, the breakfast part was a bit surprising. Lastly this location is perfect. We could walk to everything we wanted—so many shops, restaurants and we even walked to our food tour location. I highly recommend this beautiful hotel.

The hotel had many positive attributes ~ the location was central to what we wanted to see, it felt like a safe area, the lobby had plenty of room to avoid the traffic at the front desk, the bar/restaurant offered seating that kept buffet guests from interrupting guests who were eating/drinking, the lobby was equipped with coffee, tea, flavor infused water choices, cookies and other treats. We booked a suite ~ room #10 ~ for our 40th wedding anniversary celebration. The room was beautiful and felt clean until later in the evening. I have an allergy to cigarette smoke and when we returned to our room, I could smell stale cigarette smoke. As the night unfolded, there was a strong odor of fresh cigarette smoke. In the morning, I asked the young woman at the front desk if our room was a smoking room and she said "we have tried to buy the (coffee) shop behind the hotel but failed." So it's a known issue that the smokers visiting the shop behind the hotel created an issue with smoke entering the ventilation of room #10. I asked if we could move to another room and she said "if you can collect your things now . . . " Unfortunately, we had a pre-paid tour planned and an Uber a few minutes away that we didn't have time right then to collect our things. I told her the tour ended in the early afternoon and she said the move had to happen in short order. We left for our tour and when we returned to the front desk in the afternoon I asked again since it was a Tuesday, perhaps a day when the hotel had less occupants. She said there was no option to change rooms. I slept the rest of our stay with a washcloth swiped with vapor rub over my nose and mouth hoping to neutralize the smell. I booked this suite and spent $1200 USD to celebrate an important milestone and felt the front desk clerk should have done more to resolve the problem. We rarely complain about any accommodation or experience, and are acutely aware that travelers have many options. It surprised me that no additional effort was put forth by the front desk to make this right. If friends ask if I recommend this hotel, the answer is a soft "yes" with an asterisk. I am writing this review to help the hotel improve upon their shortcomings since the hotel has many amenities that should appeal to travelers.

The interior is very nice and cosy.
When I saw the reviews, I wanted to stay, even if it was too much, and I was right.
In the lobby, you can enjoy detox water, slightly sweetened iced tea, and drinks such as coffee and hot chocolate.
There were always little pound cakes, cookies and candy.
It was really helpful to be able to come back to the hotel and bring drinks straight into the room.
The rooms are not very spacious, but the amenities are available at L'Occitane, and we did not use shampoo or any other items we brought from Japan.
There was also a cleanliness feeling, and the bathtub had a jet bath.
I was able to rest very slowly.
The staff were all friendly and courteous.

We are just back after staying three nights in this wonderful hotel. It's in a great location, in an old building overlooking one of the canals The decor is glorious, especially on the ground floor. And our room was lovely. There was butterfly wallpaper on the walls and the basin in the shower room was also decorated with butterflies. The bed was very comfortable. There is a bar where breakfast is also served: a buffet which includes almost everything you could possibly want and later in the day they serve drinks and bar snacks which we had on our last evening, and which we very much enjoyed. The staff are friendly and helpful. I am a wheelchair user and there are steps up to the hotel, but every time we came back from a day or evening out, as soon as we got there, there was someone to bring my rather heavy wheelchair up the steps. Altogether, I couldn't fault it.

We stayed here for a week, and it was absolutely the most perfect location. It was a maximum 20 minute walk to anywhere in the city, whether the museum district, the Anne Frank house, or Central Station. Very safe and tons of restaurants and shopping nearby, including the Nine Streets district. But maybe the best part was the interior decoration of the hotel, which was absolutely beautiful. They really gave thought to every detail, from the lobby to the rooms. My only minor criticisms are that: the room we stayed in, which was a double room with a Canal view, did not have adequate space to store your clothing; and the breakfast seemed a little expensive, and so we wound up eating breakfast away from the hotel each morning. I will definitely stay here again on my return trip to Amsterdam.

Pretty perfect. Nice staff, beautiful rooms, beautiful common area. Lobby bar only accepts room charges, which prevents non-guests from taking up bar space, ensuring there’s always a comfy spot for guests. Jars full of candy everywhere, cats that visit the lobby, free coffee stations in lobby, frequently replenished complimentary cookie dish in lobby (and good cookies!, not just store bought stuff). I know other reviews mentioned tiny rooms, so if that is a concern opt for a family room (or imagine a suite, but my personal experience was a family room). It was decent size, well appointed. Nice surprise to find heated bathroom floor (which I used to dry my rain dampened jeans). If I was forced to complain, I could only comment on things beyond the hotel’s control: noisy young adults making merry on the street below until the wee hours and in the morning clomping from hotel guest above (its an old, old building so not much that can be done about it). I’m so glad I chose to step out of my points ecosystem and stay at this well located, canal front charmer of a hotel. Perfection.

Amazing stay at this stunning boutique hotel. Stayed here for four days in a beautiful room overlooking the canal. The room was well equipped with tea coffee facilities, fridge, hairdryer and loccitane toiletries. The bed and pillows were extremely comfy and slept well. The hotel is very clean and everywhere is finally polished and immaculate. Refreshments are available throughout the day for guests to enjoy in the reception area. The breakfast was plentiful and the system worked well although you do have to book the day before a time to make sure there is a table. A choice of hot and cold food to choose from and delicious cakes. The hotel has a lovely area to sit and relax in the sumptuous chairs and the feel of the decor is of elegance and grandeur. The hotel is in walking distance of many attractions and also the central tram line. The canal tour is well worth it and takes in many photo opportunities. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The Valentine’s Prosecco and cookies were a lovely gesture as were the birthday chocolates. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Highly recommend and would love to revisit.

Oh my... what can I say? Estherea is a gorgeous boutique hotel in Central Amsterdam. As soon as you walk in - you'll feel welcomed & cozy! The restaurant is a short walk from key attractions in Amsterdam with cafes, shopping & restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk. The interior of the hotel is very elegant, laden with flowers and decorated with ornate chandeliers. We appreciated the fruit infused water and coffee available 24/7. The rooms are very comfortable. And yes, the bar was nice with very friendly bartenders who would stay open so long as guest is still around. The front desk staff are very engaging & accommodating.

We were in Amsterdam during the King's birthday. The hotel is located right beside one of the canals. So the parade of decorated boats are very visible. They provided fun orange hats/beads/glasses making guests feel more festive and very much part of the party.

The hotel may be somewhat pricey but well worth it.
