My stay at Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam was simply very nice. I enjoyed a spacious room overlooking the UNESCO Garden, complete with luxurious amenities and heated bathroom floors. The dining experiences, especially at Spectrum, were great, but I did find the breakfast layout a bit lacking. Despite a few minor concerns, the really good service and friendly staff made every moment nice.
