Hotel Estheréa

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.

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!

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.

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

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.
