Our room (404) was a good size and the bed was really comfortable. No view however. Bathroom was a good size with separate whirlpool bath and shower. Only downside I would say was the separate toilet , which was the opposite side of the room to the bathroom and didn’t have a wash basin . It was also on the small side so if you are tall there’s not a lot of legroom to close the door and ensure privacy. Good selection at breakfast, eating area is small so you have to book a time and you are limited to 45 minutes. Bar seemed to have a good range of drinks on offer and the help yourself coffee , water and cookies were a nice touch. No restaurant at night so you have to eat out. Seeing the cats in the lobby was fun if you are a cat lover like me.

Beautiful property and amazing staff. Very luxurious stay. Leo, the bartender is exceptional at knowing the perfect combination of liquors to create memorable sips. We were first assigned room 415, which had construction on the other side of our headboard that began at 7:30am. When I complained, Reception changed our room for better sleep. All the rooms are truly beautiful and unique.

The hotel is lovely, it is in a great location and very nice folks working there. Many cafes and restaurants close by and easy walking distance or trolley to various museums. Be aware the breakfast is expensive and NOT good. It costs 24€ /person. In addition, you must make a reservation the night before for a specific time slot and you are told when you come down for breakfast that you only have 45 minutes. Check your invoice upon leaving carefully, we were double charged for breakfast. They did take off the charge but we could not do self checkout in the morning.

The Hotel Estherea is beautiful on the inside with a great breakfast and an extremely accommodating staff. Other than the tiny closest in our room, nothing about the hotel could be better. It is about five blocks from a metro station and two blocks from a trolley. There are many restaurants in the area. However, our canal view room overlooked a dumpster from a houseboat being remodeled and had a great view of the graffiti on the large building across the canal. The bicycles, cars, and hordes of tourists make the very narrow streets and sidewalks in the area unpleasant to walk on. We would not stay in this area again.

Perfect location. Located on a beautiful canal and walking distance to everything, including the train station. This was one of the most beautiful hotels I've stayed at! In the lobby they have a cappuccino machine and jars of candy and a beautiful restaurant and bar. There are comfortable seating nooks all over the lobby and bar. We stayed here for a week and could not have been more comfortable!

We had a Canal view room, which I would highly recommend our room was spacious not too very limited space to hang or shelves to put your things on
We had trouble with our door lock, but turns out that they punched in the wrong room number. Every time they had to resend a key up to our room. The staff was very accommodating. We had questioned why we heard hammering at 7 AM and the manager was a little bit. That’s the way it is. We did not partake in the breakfast as there is great food very close by the neighborhood was the best.

The rooms and hallways were thick with Marijuana smoke from a nearby \"coffee house\"(pot store and smoking spot). We had to change into a smaller room away from the smoke as it was intolerable in the initial room. It is a shame that this obtrusive and disgusting odor permeates and ruins a beautiful hotel.

Hotel in general was very fancy and from the moment you walk in you know you are going to have a good stay. Room itself done what you need it to do, nicely decorated and had a canal view which was nice. My only fault which is a personal preference, the bed was too firm for me so never got much sleep but this also would not put me off staying here again. Very nice Hotel.

We had a lovely stay here from Saturday to Wednesday! We had a canal view room with lots of windows to watch the water go by, it was a nice size with a great bath/shower. Staff were helpful and friendly. Only issue we noted was rooms were often cleaned later in the day, on one occasion we arrived back to the room around 2:30/3pm and it had not been cleaned yet and we were getting ready the for an early dinner so room couldn’t be cleaned that day which was disappointing. Otherwise and overall a good location and nice hotel!

A jewel of a hotel. It’s like walking into an alternate world were everything is beautiful, polished, chic, happy and done with extreme taste. In top of everything, it is so strategically located. I had an Issue with a not very friendly staff clerk at arrival but the rest of the staff was beyond believe… friendly, attentive, professional and caring. Definitely my place to stay when in Amsterdam but next time, need to get a canal view for the full experience.

The hotel is beautiful and very unique. This is our second time staying here and there really is something quite magical about this place at this time of year. The communal areas and the rooms are all spotlessly clean, we really like that there are complimentary drinks and treats available for you to enjoy. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The only reason why I’ve not given 5 stars is because the beds are quite firm, which I know is personal preference and despite them adding an additional mattress topper, I still didn’t sleep that well. The main stairwell was also out of use for some reason which meant we had to use the very slow and small lift and in parts of the hotel there was a sewage smell like there was a blocked drain or something, we smelled this both in the lounge area and in the bathroom which was quite unpleasant. I would say these are small things that can easily be resolved and compared to all the many wonderful things about this hotel it didn’t stop our enjoyment of the place and we would definitely visit again.

It is an older hotel with a cute maximalist aesthetic and a terrific location for first time visitors. The free coffee and cookies were a nice touch. Most of the staff were lovely. Unfortunately, the room and hallway smelled like marijuana due to a street level business. We brought this to the hotel’s attention and were told that this was a known problem on the third floor but there was not much they could do about it. They also forgot to give us vouchers for our welcome amenities until we asked. Additionally, the doors are locked at 11 pm and you must turn in your room key when entering and leaving the hotel. Overall, I would choose a different hotel next time.

The hotel is beautiful — the lobby and bar are stunning, and while the rooms are small, they’re stylish and comfortable. However, the front desk service falls far below what a 4-star hotel should deliver. As others have noted, the staff can be rude and dismissive, with little attentiveness to guests’ needs.

They offer free coffee, but only in glass cups that become burning hot — no napkins, no alternatives. When I burned my finger and politely asked for a real cup, the breakfast attendant said I’d need to pay €22 for the full breakfast and added, “It’s free, what do you expect?” The front desk eventually intervened, but only after a public argument.

The key system is also incredibly inconvenient. It’s not a normal key card — it’s attached to a heavy decorative keychain, and they require you to leave and pick it up every time you exit or return to the hotel, with no option for a simple card. Pair that with an unpleasant front desk experience, and it becomes frustrating fast.

The hotel has charm and potential, but the service issues overshadow it. For the price, I’d stay elsewhere unless major improvements are made.
