We stayed at this hotel during our visit to Amsterdam and were extremely happy with our overall experience. The hotel is conveniently located near the transit,so commuting wasn’t an issue at all. The breakfast buffet was just amazing with a whole array of breakfast choices. The staff was very friendly and nice as well. The only issue with the room was that the room didn’t have a fridge which made it hard to save any food as with the heat it could get bad. Moreover, carry your own body crème as the rooms don’t have them.

The room was way too hot and we didn’t have control of the thermometer. We did complain but it didn’t get changed. No water dispensers in the gym. Breakfast was mediocre. Very little protein. Fire alarms went off 3 times in a row with no apologies or explanation.

Meeh, good but not great

The hotel is very beautiful and the location is good. However, they don’t do daily cleaning of the room due to their sustainability policies, which I agree are important. However, I don’t see how making the bed and emptying the bins is really against their environment. I didn’t event wants my towels or linens changed. One of the reasons I choose hotels instead of Airbnb is because I love how they make the beds and also I want to have a break. I don’t want to wake up on holidays and make my own bed. Might sound silly but it spoiled the stay for us. Also the staff could be kinder.
