Frommer's "Where better to experience a city on the water than on a boat-hotel moored permanently to a dock on the IJ waterway northwest of Centraal Station?" Full review

Be sure to ask for a room with a view on the water, to avoid the uninspiring quay.
Lonely Planet "Five minutes’ walk from Centraal Station, this floating hotel is usually populated by dazed, Europe-in-four-days bus groups and packs of Brit boys/girls celebrating bucks’/hens’ nights." Full review
Time Out "Convenient for Centraal Station, the docklands and hops across to Noord, this a good bet if you're looking for good, clean accommodation with the odd frill, like free in-house movies." Full review

"Kids may enjoy the experience of staying on a boat, but the property is more popular with value-minded couples and groups." Full review

Star Service "This place is certainly a contender at the top, right alongside the D L'Europe and InterContinental." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Six grand 17th- and 18th-century townhouses were combined to create 93 stylish rooms on the prestigious Herengract, just a 10-minute walk from Museumplein." Full review
Afar Magazine "The iconic brand took six 17th- and 18th-century canal houses...and transformed them into a distinctively Dutch version of world-class luxury." Full review
Wallpaper "While Amsterdam has boutique lodgings aplenty, few are truly luxurious - which explains the anticipation surrounding the Waldorf Astoria." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Complete with a grand staircase, this truly remarkable collection of canal mansions is an immaculately designed hotel." Full review

With 93 rooms and suites to choose from, each comes with a view of either the canal or the beautiful courtyard garden.
Fodor's "Spacious rooms are sophisticated if a tad bland, though the beam-ceilinged loft rooms offer a little more character; all rooms have either a canal or garden view." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The Guerlain Spa at the Waldorf goes beyond relaxation—this is the kind of place where "revitalization" is offered, and achieved." Full review
Jetsetter "Decadent Dutch Master set in 17th-century palaces on the Herengracht canal, with a two-Michelin-starred restaurant and a Guerlain spa." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"Six magnificent canalside mansions converted with grace, a sensitive attitude to heritage (many 17th- and 18th-century features remain), and a careful eye to contemporary luxury and style." Full review
goop "Spread out over six stunning buildings on the banks of one of Amsterdam’s most memorable canals, the Waldorf Astoria is just as much a historic landmark as it is a supremely plush place to stay." Full review
