Such a great bookstore! There’s a great variety of books to choose from. The staff are very friendly and it’s located at a great location. The only downside is that there was not a specific section for romance books as there was for horror books or fantasy. The romance books were on the ground floor without a label to them and just scattered. I hope Waterstones Amsterdam can fix this as all Waterstones I’ve been to have a huge romance section.

  • Daniela Fernandes

This bookstore is amazing! It has several floors (4 or 5, I don't remember correctly) with various genres. The organization is exquisite and it's really easy to browse to find the category we're looking for. I loved it and I will most definitely make regular visits when in Amsterdam.

Nice English book store. With four floors , different genres , souveniers, board games, notebooks. There is a big section of fantasy. There is a small section with mangas, another with comics, Harry Potter merchandising, Language books, dictionaries, cooking, gardering.

Mooie theater kleiner dan ik dacht... netjes ziet het eruit! Van alles te krijgen qua drinken en te snoepen.. toiletten zijn netjes en schoon. Enige minpuntje Wel weinig beenruimte.. zeker als mijn vriend langer dan 1,90 is... voor mij was ook net aan...

  • Roy Peleg

I have known the store for many years. The basement floor is where all the action is, featuring a large section for kids. The top floor houses a small coffee house with seats overlooking Trafalgar Square. This place has a certain charm to it.

  • Noah

Literally the best store in town. I love the incredibly helpful staff and their book collection is amazing. Whenever I am at Waterstones I feel at ease. I recommend going on weekdays between 11-15 as it’s not as busy during those hours!

Waterstones Amsterdam is great for people who want English books. They have many types of books. There's a small manga section with popular mangas. The staff is nice. But there's not much seating to read before buying.

  • Sarah Alexander

Great place to stop for books in English. I lost track of time but gained a lot of information of authors and books/ series just browsing the various shelves. A airy well lit library in the middle of Kalverstraat.

  • kate sm

A magical place. Enormous selection of books of any category and preference. Always something new to find, but don't worry - all the great authors are always there too! It's a real gem on a busy Kalverstraat

Lovely book store a lot of selection great location and lots of lovely seating spots perfect for reading. Spent a lovely time here. Def the best selection of English books I’ve seen in Amsterdam

  • Rishikesh Sharan

Quite good placement and naming of sections. Easy to navigate. But again have collections of popular books only. So if you want to read unpopular opinions it is not the place to go...

  • Oliver Busche

This a wonderful place to browse for books of all kind in four or five floors (sorry, we didn't buy one this time). I enjoyed the atmosphere.

  • Zoe V

Super cute store with sales and a nice selection of books. A lot of poetry, feminism and fiction and cat themed (bags and books) …

  • Alyssa W.

Fijne locatie en prachtige winkel. Het personeel is voor de grootste deel wel vriendelijk. Het is heerlijk om even in de winkel te kijken.

  • ionela nechifor

Great place to enrich your creativity and feed your curiosity. Specially if you’re an expat in the Netherlands this is the perfect place.

  • Alexander den Engelsman

5 verdiepingen, waarvan 4 met boeken! Genoeg plaats om even je boek te kunnen lezen en leuk café op de begaande en 5de verdieping.

  • Rocio Tribe

Every booklover's paradise. Loved the selection, staff suggestions and special editions. Prices are a bit on the higher side
