W Amsterdam
Hotel Services
From the moment I arrived at W Amsterdam, I felt the staff’s professionalism, which created a welcoming atmosphere. The concierge services were always ready to assist, and having 24-hour room service and daily housekeeping made my stay effortlessly comfortable. While the front desk staff were wonderfully helpful, I did notice a few guests mentioning some initial hiccups with luggage handling upon arrival, and a couple of instances where doormen seemed less reliable for taxi bookings. Despite these small points, the overall attentiveness truly left a lasting impression.
Room Information
Stepping into my room at W Amsterdam, I appreciated the modern amenities and stylish decor, though I noted some rooms, especially for two people, felt a bit compact with limited seating beyond the bed. The comfortable king beds were a true highlight, making for restful nights, and some rooms even offered charming Atrium views or a cozy fireplace, which added a lovely touch. It’s worth mentioning that some guests found the unique bathroom design, with separated toilet and shower areas, a little clumsy, and there were isolated reports of non-functional refrigerators or unexpected views of apartment buildings instead of the cityscape. On weekends, a gentle hum from the nightclub below could sometimes be heard, which is something to consider if you’re a light sleeper.
Facility Features
Dining Experience
The dining options at W Amsterdam truly enhance the experience, beginning with a varied breakfast buffet that set a delightful tone for my mornings. The on-site restaurant, with its stylish design, promised innovative culinary creations, creating a sophisticated dining atmosphere. While the restaurant generally offered a pleasant experience, a few guests mentioned mixed feelings about the hostesses at Mr. Potter’s, and it was noted that late-night food room service was not always available. Thankfully, the surrounding Amsterdam-Centrum area bursts with diverse dining choices, ensuring there’s always something appealing nearby, from cozy coffee shops to delectable international cuisine.

Very good
•bed was very comfortable •location was good •nice size room •staff friendly • location i didn’t check out the spa or pool area unfortunately so I cannot comment. when I arrived there was an event on at the W’s bar. Although it was clear to security and everyone else I was arriving at the hotel with my two suitcases out of a taxi, they didn’t move or attempt to help me. in fact they stood in the way. so I was just stood there with my two suitcases whilst the two idiot security stood infront of me.
Very good
We stayed for 5 nights, unfortunately the first 3 nights weren’t as expected. We had couple of issues Mainly, – Our breakfast was supposed to be included and every morning we had to return the bill. 5 star hotels usually have this sorted before the guests come in. – the first 3 days our room wasn’t cleaned until late afternoon and only after calling the reception although we always made sure “clean my room” button was on But I have to admit that after me talking to the manager everything was well sorted, so I advise you to contact the management team for any issues from day one So grateful to the management who acted immediately and resolved all our issues.

A Dissapointing Return
We booked a Superior Room as set out on the Agoda website. We did not receive this. The room we were giving is average and is cramped. The super king bed is too big for the room and prevents use of the chairs provided other than in a row facing into the benchlike table along the wall. There is useless decor lighting beneath this table which serves no purpose.
Classy beautiful hotel, kid friendly and in the middle of it all
Perfect location for those who want to be in the center of all the action in Amsterdam, very near red light, terminal, shopping, etc. Hotel was big and beautiful, though you might get lost at the first. Really classy and love the smell around the premises. Many helpful staff assist us as we are a huge group of 3 families (8 adults and 3 kids) total of 4 rooms. Special mention to staff like hazel, edna, aida, jocelyn, marilen, rick, hasan, and manewan.

The service at the Amsterdam Marriott Hotel often felt genuinely helpful, creating a pleasant atmosphere for my stay. The concierge team, with members like Udo, Irben, and Olga, were frequently praised for their attentiveness, offering valuable insights and assistance with tours and tickets. The front desk staff and bellhops were largely courteous and efficient, contributing to a smooth check-in and check-out experience.

I appreciated the thoughtful touches like linen service, blackout curtains, and air conditioning, which ensured a restful environment. While many found the rooms reasonably spacious, some guests felt they could be a bit small or dated, with limited storage and insufficient hooks in the bathroom. There were also occasional reports of minor cleanliness issues, such as stains on carpets or walls, or dirty coffee cups, which were small details that could impact the overall impression. Additionally, some rooms featured pink/purple lights that, while equipped with blackout blinds, could be a bit distracting from the inside.

The dining options at the Amsterdam Marriott Hotel offer convenient choices, starting with a breakfast service that many found to be good, though some mentioned it could feel repetitive or a bit chaotic during busy times. The Midtown Grill stands out as a top steakhouse, offering a high-quality dining experience, though a few guests noted the prices were on the higher side. The hotel also features a coffee shop for quick bites and a bar, Sorel, which some suggested could benefit from updated and healthier food selections. While I found the in-house options convenient, the surrounding area also provides an abundance of diverse dining experiences.

Good location
This hotel is accessible to all local attractions. Just across the road is the tram station, and also near the boat station for a canal cruise. The streets are relatively safe at night. 2-3 minute walk from the hotel is a smorgasbord of restaurants from Dutch, Italian, Brazilian, Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian, Thai, to McDonalds, Starbucks & Hardrock. I personally liked the all you can eat grilled spare ribs for 9 euros, well worth it, and try the Wok to walk, Chinese noodles cooked in front of you, yummy! Also, the next tram station from the hotel is the Rijksmuseum which has Rembrandt’s paintings, and the Van Gough museum.
Stay for location. Nothing else.
Location. No hot water. They tried to fix it but we were told the faucet was broken and would take a long time to replace. It was like this immediately from the beginning of our stay. No offer for compensation at all or relocation to a different room.
