PESTANA
Historic hotel with spa, swimming pool and restaurant, within walking distance of Amsterdam's Pijp district.
Hotel Pestana has taken over a beautiful historic building (former town hall, then municipal archives). It comprises two original buildings and two more modern ones. The classy decor combines Portuguese classics with Amsterdam's historical details (sculptures, monumental staircase, etc.). Everything has been done to ensure that travelers enjoy an unforgettable stay in one of the 154 rooms. The spa, which includes a pleasant swimming pool, and the restaurant will contribute to an exceptional stay just a stone's throw from the Pijp district.

Pour un hôtel 5 étoiles, ce n’est pas à la hauteur.
Les chambres sont bien différentes de celles présentes sur les sites, notre chambre était beaucoup plus petite que ce que nous imaginions, la salle de bain les toilettes le dressing et l’entrée ne font qu’un.
Les cuisines ferment à 21h alors que cela mentionne 22h. Nous avons eu le problème un samedi et un dimanche.
La piscine intérieur n’est pas chauffé.
Cependant l’hôtel est beau et propre.
Enfin le tramway est à proximité de l’hôtel mais vous n’avez pas grand chose à faire dans le quartier.
I had a couple of issues with my room (broken shower head and a room with no desk) that were sorted in minutes. There was also an authentic warmth and passion for their craft at breakfast and dinner. The breakfast itself has a wide variety of super high quality options - there's 5 different types of muesli, beautiful pastries, several fresh loaves of bread, hot food, cold cuts, fresh fruit, fresh orange juice...
The gym is also well above average for a hotel. Well equipped, open from 6am and more spacious than normal.
There were a few niggles. The lack of a desk was a head scratcher as was the lighting - the rooms take moody lighting to an extreme! A broken shower head and broken towel hook felt like quite a lot of broken stuff for one bathroom.
