The 24 best hot springs in and near Amsterdam

Amsterdam

Lovely little sauna in the heart of Amsterdam. Beautiful and clean facilities, super friendly and welcoming staff, central location. The perfect spot for a few hours of pure relax! I will definitely come back :)

Sauna in the middle of the Amsterdam city center. Deco/baroque style . It seems that is dated from long time ago. Nice secret gem. I missed whirlpool, but ok it’s sauna place. Stuff is really pleasant. Minus: is super old bathrobe and towels. You need to rent out them and pay additional, I would expect at least to be in good condition. I will come back but take all stuff with me. You can have a lunch there too.

Really nicely decorated sauna, with beautiful wooden interiors and antique furnishing. The sauna is quite small so it's great for a 3-hour escape from the busy city of Amsterdam.

What was really annoying for me was the noise. Due to the set up of the sauna, the reception and the cafe are not isolated from the relaxation areas and are located in the center of the sauna. An (otherwise very polite) lady at the reception was extremely loud in welcoming new guests every few minutes and the guests themselves sitting at the restaurant/cafe were also chattering at full volume. Therefore, it was impossible to relax for more than 5 minutes at a time. I think "be quiet" signs could be of use in a place like this :)

First spa experience in Netherlands. Not bad nor surprisingly good, just ordinary experience.

I’d suggest to get your hands warmed before starting the massage. Cold hands + oil is ice cold.

The full-body massage (the technique) was good. The ladies are nice.
But the cold room + the cold oil + the cold hands make it the experience you don't want to repeat. If you tweak your services so it's warm, you and the customers will benefit much.
It was the first time I was waiting for the massage to end sooner simply because I was cold (despite asking for the second blanket).

Let me start off with my massage was great. My feedback is , why is the room so bright ? Booked a couple massage and the 2 skylights above plus room lights on the whole time, while I was on my back I could not relax. Also the room was quite cold, no heating pad /blanket on the bed. That being said, as good as the massage was, we won't be returning. I recommend on focusing on a relaxing atmosphere, not a medical, stark bright room.

During the course of several months of dithering amid the covid crisis we had bookings at Pulitzer, the Hoxton and finally we arrived at the Andaz. And was it a good decision. We went and checked the former two and they were not as new as the Andaz. We got an excellent rate through our Corp perk site and therefore it made it much sweeter. I will admit my review will be a little less generous if I ended up paying twice what I paid for instance.

The room was spacious by european standards, the location is a peach, so close to lots of places most walkable, the tram two streets away and yet not on the more crowded avenues of the city.

The concierges could be more informative, though they tried to be helpful and were responsive. The rooms were well kept.

My only grouse, please put a towel hanger somewhere near the shower.

The first thing that i did not like about hotel was bathroom style.  The shower was in the middle of the room giving no privacy for the person while having a shower. While one of us taking shower, other had to wait outside as there was no place for dressing after shower. Moreover there is no place for hanging any towels inside the shower . Although i have noticed them that we are brothers and sisters and we needed twin bed ; they did not warn us more they did not change the room type and gave us a room with such bathroom.

Then i got very sicked after 24 hours, they have not helped my brother for calling an ambulance and they only provides a number and asked him to call ambulance although they saw me laying on the floor unconscious.
We had to leave hotel after 36 hours by ambulance, and couldnot stay at the hotel for last 36 hours. They charged all the hotel fees more, since my my brother was very stressed and could not leave me alone in the toom ( i faded and was unconscious )he smoked tobacco at the window they  us charged 350€ penalty for doing that.

Hotel has a very nice and oryginal design. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Service is amazing as well. Made our stay very pleasant.

This spa has been around a while and they’re consistently evolving and adding new things while remaining cosy and very high quality. Coming here for a massage and a pedicure, and other services are great as well with an exception of manicure - which is forgivable as good quality manicure is very hard to find in Amsterdam in general.

One additional benefit is that it is very expat friendly and welcoming to everyone, and the crew is very international too. Much recommended!

Had a wonderful, relaxing pregnancy massage. Service was impeccable. I felt very well taken care of, and my masseuse was really great.

Amazing experience, lovely therapist who was caring, informative and listened to all my concerns. Would recommend!

In the middle of nowhere stands De Ruimte, a cozy building with a quirky look in and outside. The menu seems to change everyday, we got a selection of delicious currys, everything was really tasty and paired well with some nice local beers. The atmosphere was super relaxed, we will definitely come back for one of their musical events.

When it is warm outside, you can eat and drink outside where you can see artists at work. They have a nice selection of beers and a few dishes of food to choose from.

The Waldorf Astoria in Amsterdam was hands down the best hotel experience we have ever encountered.  Every single staff member was courteous, professional, and helpful.  The concierge staff went above and beyond to help us navigate Dutch covid testing requirements and arrangements for testing, plus helped with museum and tour tickets.  The hotel itself was beautiful, comfortable and clean.  The food in the restaurants was delicious and the waitstaff was attentive.  We loved our stay!

We only visited the hotel for lunch at Spectrum Restaurant but it gave us a really nice Overall experience about the hotel and brand Waldorf Astoria. Excellent service from the beginning until the end. The restaurant was extraordinary and they meet our wishes. Overall, after this nice experience we will consider to stay in this hotel when we visit Amsterdam again in the future.

Just one of the best hotels I have ever visited on a top location in Amsterdam. A great choice for a short getaway.

The hotel was clean, the receipt was very friendly and correct, the building beautiful and stylish, great rooms.  All is breathing hospitality.

A great experience, we will absolutely come back

I was scared because it was a lot of money for me, but it was a fantastic day, the customer service was perfect, the saunas impressive and relaxed. The food was also delicious and the rituals were fun. I really don't have one point if critique, please keep it up and I hope I can come back super soon!

Fantastic spa. Honestly the best spa and hotel I’ve ever visited.
The food was wonderful. Must of been about 7 different saunas all with its own theme.
Checked out a few days later feeling like a new person. Strongly recommend it for a short break in life and unwind.

I've not stayed at the hotel; but the spa is one of the best that's accessible from Amsterdam without needing a car. Great facilities and range of saunas; a good massage; food is ok (although a bit pricey); a frequent schedule of aufguss (löyly) events make for a wonderful relaxing day... and best enjoyed IMO as a full day
They do have certain days set aside for swimsuits as well, for those who don't feel as comfortable with nudity

I’m a member of Akasha gym and spa and fully recommend the spa services to all. As a world spa traveller, and north American expat living nearby, I can say it is well appointed, serviced by capable and kind staff, and an enjoyable retreat from busy days in Amsterdam.

Massage was great, but it defeats the purpose of relaxation, when the staff books your appointment,(without warning you beforehand),during the same time when groups of children are allowed to run throughout the spa. During the massage session, all you could hear was loud running from the pool area on the other side of the massage rooms... people go to a spa to escape loud noises and to enter a quiet and relaxed solitude-like atmosphere.

Also the spa had only 5 lounge chairs, which was occupied with used-dirty towels from previous guest who were not using the lounge chairs anymore. The space of the spa is way too small for the many guest they are inviting just to use the pool. It’s too crowded for such a small spa, it defeats the whole purpose of the spa experience.

Last Friday very unexpected stressful and egregious thing happened to me in a place where I hardly expected. I am the member at @akashawellbeing since I moved to Amsterdam. I chose this place for quality, esthetic and the most important feeling of safety. While applying for membership was told a lot about their handpicking approach for members and even went through kind of interview before they let me to pay 6000/year for a family membership. Friday noon while I was on a treatment, a suspicious person, simply coming from the street and pretending she wants a treatment at the spa, went into the locker room, opened 4 lockers, stole from my locker a bag, watch, wallet, not to mention the money, very important documents for me and car keys, home and office keys, and left in 5 min saying she changed her mind. After hours of stress, communicating with police in hotel security office I’ve been told that after submitting a report I need to wait until hotel will talk to their insurance company and then they will contact me. What is the idea of  handpicking of members that doesn’t  make any sense if anyone else even the thieves come to hotel spa without any barrier (even not paying thousands to you as I do).

My very first floating experience here at Koan Float was very nice.
- The staff explained where everything is and how it works. - There is tea, water, fruit and cookies if you like some.
- There are books about floating that you can read when you arrived or after floating.

We arrived early so we had time to relax. When I went inside I felt like I was swinging in the water. Later on, this feeling made me nauseous so I took time to sit in the water. I think the next time I will be at ease. It was a bit hard to feel at home because this experience was new and exciting. You have to surrender your power and relax your muscles to fully enjoy the weightless feeling you get in the water.
I definitely recommend floating. It feels uncomfortable at the beginning but I am sure it will get better over time.
I feel extremely calm afterwards :)

So I made a reservation and payed this in advance with a gift card I received from friends. In the evening I forgot about this and received a call from customer service- I missed my appointment and was not able to get a refund. Not a biggie it’s my fault!

However, the tone of customer service was unprofessional and tried to make me feel like I did something horrible, mind you I still fully paid.

Unnecessary and wholly unprofessional, could’ve given possibilities for a new appointment or informed me in a friendly way.

I really enjoyed the experience it’s self. I read reviews about getting fruit and tea here but we didn’t get that, also wouldn’t say that you feel particularly relaxed before getting into the room. You just wait in the common waiting area. The float it’s self was good, this was my first time and managed to relax. The way they wake you up is a bit much (putting the light on and telling you to leave the cabin), could have been a bit more soft and slow. Nice area to get hair dried etc, then we were straight out. Didn’t really get asked how it was etc, so not too personal
