The vibe is great. Artsy place. There was a jazz band playing in the bar when I returned from exploring the city. It’s off the beaten path a bit. I was a bit sketched out walking through the park to the entrance the first day but realized it’s a pretty good area overall to be. Wanted to stay an extra night but the place was all booked up.

Our group really enjoyed this hotel. It is very unique and quite comfortable. While the lift is slow (they joke about it at check in) we were grateful to have it to get our luggage upstairs. Good location that was an easy Uber ride anywhere.

Quiet, and walkable from many attractions like the Zoo, and surrounding museums. Fairly bare in terms of amenities, breakfast is paid, no air conditioning, no laundry option. Nice for what you pay for

Stayed for one night before a Viking cruise due to easy walking proximity to dock ( as well as lots of sights in Amsterdam)..their restaurant was a WONDERFUL choice for dinner after a long day of re- exploring the city ...as for a room facing the water....much prettier views!

There is a hilarious sarcastic morning host at the front desk. This place has a funky retro vibe and the bar plays great music. Rooms are clean and comfortable and lots of windows. The family room is nice in that the parent’s bed is separated somewhat by a wall and closet for privacy. Outside are the public swimming lanes of Amsterdam harbour and garden tables which are lovely to sit at and have a drink. All the serving staff are very friendly. This is a little gem just outside of city centre where there are nice lawns and it is away from traffic in general. It is very picturesque. Much more affordable than rooms downtown though probably not for travellers seeking a luxury experience. I definitely want to come back and see some live music next time and would use this as my home base again. While the property is great for the budget as an accommodation the food and drink is not inexpensive, but it is of better value in quality than you will find at tourist spots in the city centre.

Great hotel

We had a great 2 nights traveling with my husband and two daughters. This hotel is so funky and cool- off the beaten path but close enough to walk everywhere in Amsterdam. You can also sit and watch the sunset from the back deck over the water- it felt like a beautiful refuge from downtown but only a 10 minute walk. The family room was also great- really spacious, bathroom was excellent- best family room we stayed in across 4 cities on our trip. And the staff was all kind and responsive. We felt like we were really staying in an authentic place.
