Ganske fremragende hotel. Dejligt stort værelse til 2 voksne og 2børn. Fin fin morgenmad med de bedste scrambled egg jeg nogensinde har fået på hotel. Pool med sauna og dampbad var så fint. Parkering på hotel til 50 euro pr døgn Det er dyrere at parkere ude på vejen

The location at the Amstel river facing the Amsterdam houseboats is very cosy and it‘s not too far from the town center either. Adjacent parking garage offers convenient parking options. Nice old building offering all comfort now being tastefully renovated. The staff is exceptionally friendly!

We enjoyed our stay at the Pestana Amsterdam. It was clean with functional rooms were a big plus for us. We would stay again when back in Amsterdam-can't wait to be back. It is a bit far from all the attractions but we did not mind it. Quiet area with some stores and eateries around. Recommendations: have a ramp for suitcases or a porter for arrivals.

I recently stayed at this so-called 5-star hotel, but my experience was far from what I expected. Here are the main issues I encountered: \t1.\tNoisy Air Conditioning: The air conditioner was extremely noisy. When I raised this issue with the staff, they claimed it was normal. We had to turn it off to get any sleep, which made the room uncomfortably warm. \t2.\tBroken Curtain: The curtain in our room was broken, causing us to wake up at 6 AM due to the sunlight streaming in. This was incredibly frustrating and disrupted our sleep. \t3.\tUnhygienic Free Bottle of Water: The hotel provided a complimentary bottle of water, but it had hair on it. This was a significant hygiene concern and quite off-putting. \t4.\tMisleading Photos: The room had only one small window, which was completely different from the photos advertised. The lack of natural light made the room feel cramped and claustrophobic. \t5.\tSmall Room: The room itself was very small, much smaller than what was depicted in the pictures online. It felt like a significant downgrade from what we were expecting. Overall, I was highly disappointed with my stay. Despite the hotel’s 5-star rating, the experience did not meet basic expectations of comfort and cleanliness. I would not recommend this hotel based on my experience.

La struttura di interesse storico viene sfruttata nel massimo del suo splendore. Gli interni risultano confortevoli e la pulizia è espressa in maniera molto esplicita. Ho usufruito di diversi servizi offerti dalla struttura tra cui il servizio in camera, la palestra e la colazione internazionale. Tutto è stato di mio gradimento. Per finire ho trovato cortesia, gentilezza e molta cordialità in tutto lo staff. Mi hanno consigliato dove effettuare il Covid test per il mio rientro e mi hanno ulteriormente aiutato effettuando per me la prenotazione online. Torneremo sicuramente

Definitely a nice place to stay. They are not big on checking in early. I visited in mid-July. Even when I returned to check in after, I had to wait and was given a room next to the elevator which is not ideal since it gets loud. Room was very clean and comfortable with black out curtains. No view. Same for my friend who stayed on a different floor - same room, different side, no view but nice room. Staff were on and off. Some friendly, some awkward. I really liked the location. I don’t like to stay in central areas. I prefer off center in clean and less touristy but nice more local neighborhoods. Lovely neighborhood. Ubers and taxis did take a while the 3x I tried during the weekend.

Rooms
Rooms are generally comfortable—often quiet, sometimes spacious, and in a handsome historic setting—with many praising the beds and river views. Experiences vary, with some finding rooms small, dark, or noisy, limited lighting or USBs, and occasional temperature or curtain issues; annex rooms can feel less premium.

Had two nights at Pestana and even though the staff was very nice and kind, the room neat and somewhat large and at a prime location the stay was rather awful. I was “stored” at the ground floor behind the restaurant, meaning I had to pass through the breakfast buffet in morning and dining guests in the evening. Adding to this the room was extremely noisy. It was located under a staircase of some kind, and whenever someone was walking on this, the room was more or less shaking and scrambling. This, together with a rock hard bed meant less than zero sleep. I’m normally not picky and usually noisy environments doesn’t affect my sleep, but this was at another level. At check out I could understand on the receptionist that they normally don’t use the ground floor level rooms unless everything else is occupied. Would have been nice with this disclaimer up front. Definitely suggest you flag this when booking at this place; don’t settle for ground level rooms - let alone room 1008.

The rooms in the new section are spacious and modern, but the lighting is inadequate, and there is little surface space (such as desk or counter), just a small coffee table. Also, a bit off the beaten path for tourism, although there were some good restaurants nearby. Highly recommend Riviera Restaurant.

Upon checking my bank visa statement It appears charges are accurately done first . However, there were two unknown charges in my bank statement that can’t be reconciled with the receipt they printed out for me. A week after we are back from our cruise I wrote to the guest services to enquire about the extra charges, looks like they are in no hurry to answer my questions? Until now, I still have not received good explanation from them to resolve this issue, that I am charged over C$ 500.00! For two mysterious charges In my 4 days still stay. This is not an average hotel, for 4 days two superior rooms cost me over C$5000.00. Although I like the hotel, Pestana cannot randomly charge my visa like this. I am not happy about it! If they don’t give me a good explanation of that, I would say —beware of your visa bill. Don’t leave the front desk until they explain everything to you. Otherwise, a nice surprise will be followed later…just be careful! Keep all your receipts ! Now depending how they handle my situation that will determine if I would recommend or use this hotel in the future!! Thank you!

They did not have the booked room available at time of checkin, even hours after normal checkin time. Had to switch rooms. Room service food had things included specifically asked to exclude. They gave late checkout as ”compensation” but various employees kept calling to say I was staying after normal check-out time. At check out they had already charged me city tax etc on card from checkin without asking and without possibility to change the card. What a disappointment. The room had a great view over river Amstel from my room, but that was one of few positives. Choose a different hotel…

* Polite, super attentive staff. * Clean, calm vibe with a light touch of elegance * The primary builiding of the hotel is nestled in a historic building, which brings such charm. * Easy Uber/Taxi pick up/dropp off. * The beds were comfortable and the shower worked well with good water pressure abd temperature.. * De Pijp is a lovely neighborhood for walking, light shopping, libations and meals. We enjoyed Pekelhaaring.

The room was quiet and they were able to check us in early. However, it was raining when we arrived and there are stairs to the reception area and no one came to help us. Also, the restaurant did not open until 3 and had a very limited and expensive menu. This was the only option for food at the hotel.

Location
Set along the Amstel in a quiet, attractive neighborhood with tram access and pleasant walking. Many note it is outside the center, often a longer walk or a short tram ride, with restaurants and cafes nearby.

Ótima hospedagem, porém longe do centro. Eu não tinha ideia que seria tão distante. Tive que pegar o tram todos os dias, que dava em torno de 20/25 min pro centro da cidade. Não curti muito esta questão. Mas o hotel era muito confortável. Café da manhã (pago) maravilhoso!

Warm welcoming. Nice and cheerful staff. Ready to help reception desk. Clean room. Premium bed linen and towels. Breakfast could be better considering its price. Location is challenging. It is quite and peaceful area but not close to city center. 7 stops by tram (line4). Tram stop is 200m to hotel whereas metro stop is on the other side of the river and around 10 min away by walk. I would recommend Pestana Riverside Amsterdam hotel to everyone especially the ones who do not have time concern.

The location at the Amstel river facing the Amsterdam houseboats is very cosy and it‘s not too far from the town center either. Adjacent parking garage offers convenient parking options. Nice old building offering all comfort now being tastefully renovated. The staff is exceptionally friendly!

Definitely a nice place to stay. They are not big on checking in early. I visited in mid-July. Even when I returned to check in after, I had to wait and was given a room next to the elevator which is not ideal since it gets loud. Room was very clean and comfortable with black out curtains. No view. Same for my friend who stayed on a different floor - same room, different side, no view but nice room. Staff were on and off. Some friendly, some awkward. I really liked the location. I don’t like to stay in central areas. I prefer off center in clean and less touristy but nice more local neighborhoods. Lovely neighborhood. Ubers and taxis did take a while the 3x I tried during the weekend.

The hotel was beautiful and the room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was appalling and not worth the money, it was extremely expensive for what it was. Avoid the mini bar - its i s chargeable and hefty prices! There is only one carton of water each on arrival which doesn't get replenished during your stay. I asked for milk for the coffee at reception and was told they had none. For a 5 star hotel, it was not great and very expensive for a two night stay on the outskirts of Amsterdam

The hotel was not 5* quality as advertised. We stayed in one of the studios which is located in a different building, the studio was comfortable but needed more lighting in the sitting area. The glasses and crockery were mismatched. The breakfast was cold although there was plenty to choose from.

The carpet in our room was not clean when we checked in. The rest of the room was fine, but we had a room for 3 people, but not enough hooks or rods for hanging towels in the bathroom. The elevator broke on our first night and was not fixed during our 3 night stay. We were on the third floor, and I have an injured knee, so that was super disturbing.
