7.4/10

My stay at Pestana Amsterdam Riverside was a mixed experience. While the executive room was comfortable and the breakfast variety was impressive, I found the location to be a bit far from major attractions. The service had its ups and downs, with friendly staff but some communication issues that were frustrating at times.

Rooms

8.0

The executive room was quite comfortable, featuring soft beds and quality amenities. However, the lack of proper workspace and inadequate closet space left me somewhat frustrated (I ended up leaving my suitcase open!).

Service

6.0

The staff were consistently friendly and attentive, which created a welcoming atmosphere. However, I did experience poor communication regarding my room access that led to significant delays, causing inconvenience during my stay.

Location

5.0

The hotel's location along the river provided some scenic views, but it's quite a trek (about 25 minutes) to the museums, which was not the most pleasant walk. A nearby tram stop made it somewhat manageable, though I would have preferred closer proximity to major attractions.

Dining

7.0

Breakfast options were impressive with a range of choices catering to all tastes, though I found the lunch menu disappointing and lacking in variety. It seemed to fall short of the standards expected from a luxury hotel.

Facilities

8.0

The fitness center and indoor pool were both highlights during my visit, offering a good place to unwind. Although the pool had adults-only hours, which caused some confusion, the staff accommodated my family's needs when I raised a concern.

7.2/10

My experience at Pestana Amsterdam Riverside was positive overall, with the highlight being its amazing location along the Amstel River. The spacious studio I stayed in offered a great layout and quiet environment. However, there were a few drawbacks, notably the repetitive breakfast options and the tardy housekeeping service, which detracted from what I anticipated to be a five-star experience.

Rooms

8.0

I enjoyed a spacious studio with a full kitchenette and large windows, though it felt a bit basic compared to five-star standards.

Service

7.0

The staff were friendly and eager to help, but I often encountered new concierges who were still getting acclimatized, which limited their assistance.

Location

Nestled in De Pijp, the hotel was perfectly situated for easy access to trams, shops, and the vibrant Albert Cuyp Market, making exploration a breeze.

The breakfast selection was impressive at first but became monotonous after several days, lacking variety.

Amenities like the spa and well-maintained public areas added to the experience, though I found some aspects like room service charges a bit excessive.

The hotel is situated in a scenic area along the river, which allowed for lovely walks and easy access to various attractions; it was far enough from the hustle and bustle but still convenient.

Dining

While the breakfast options were varied and delicious, I thought the pricing was a bit too high for what was offered, especially for my daughter who had minimal choices.

Facilities

The spa facilities, including the pool, were a great way to relax, although I did find the sauna could have been warmer. Overall, the amenities were well-maintained and offered plenty of options.

My stay at Pestana Amsterdam Riverside was quite a mixed bag. On the plus side, the room was clean, spacious, and beautifully designed, while the breakfast offered plenty of delicious options. However, the location felt a bit far from the action, and I ran into a few hiccups with service that dampened the experience. Overall, the hotel has potential, but there are areas that need improvement.

The hotel's location was a bit far from the city center-about a 20-25 minute walk-which wasn't ideal for my plans.

Dining

The breakfast buffet was varied and tasty, although room service charges seemed a bit high for a five-star hotel.
