Very Good

Extremely clean, quiet, and very comfortable, although small, room. Not a full service hotel, but easy access to many restaurants and activities. Highly recommend.
The staff were incredible! They also managed to organize a small surprise for my wife which was really appreciated. Location is great and rooms are really comfortable!
Everything was great! The hotel location is really nice and the room is spacious, i just wished if the Parking system is not as complicated as it is.. we needed to inform the reception before leaving the hotel and when we return with the car.. i felt really sorry for the staff because they needed to go to the garage downstairs to open the door and the same as well when we returned.. but i highly recommend staying at this place!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! We went in the middle of September and our experience was absolutely great! The place is so clean (but remember to ask them to clean everyday because it is by request) and the hotel looks new and very neat but our room was a bit small. I booked a lake view room and it did not disappoint!! Would definitely come back. My only comment is there was no conditioner in the shower room and they did not include slippers, in which I would expect them to be included in a 4-star hotel but these are not major tbh. The hotel is a little bit far from the center but easily accessible via public transportation and veryyy quite during the night which was amazing. 👏👏👏
Nice place, the only point thing I have to criticize is that the rooms are very small/tight. A few square meters more would make the stay much more comfortable
Beautiful waterfront property near downtown Amsterdam, right next to the Pontsteiger ferry stop. Westerpark is easily walkable which is a nice change of pace from the city centre. Plenty of cafes, restaurants and shops with significantly less tourist traffic!
Staff was extremely helpful and accommodating!
Note all rooms are on the ground level, and wifi was spotty likely because of all concrete pillars. Rooms are also typically small like most European city centre hotels
We enjoyed our stay here, friendly and helpful staff, and convenient location. Like the concrete ceilings and industrial feel. The room did not have a fridge nor a curtain on the shower so there was a cold breeze while I showered. Windows don’t open.

I stayed in a deluxe room which was in a different part of the building (accross the square) than the reception. Room was nice, decent bed, very large shower and exceptional views. Bit sad that the windows on the outside were very dirty but I suppose that comes with staying on the waterside. Bottles of water were a nice touch. Very easy to reach by public transport, bus 48 stops only a few minutes away and runs every 10 mins.
This hotel is about a scenic 25 minutes walk from Amsterdam Central Station. Outside the hotel is a free ferry across the river to NDSM, from there there is another regular free ferry that takes you to Amsterdam Central Station. The hotel is located on the ground floor of a funky larger complex. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Room was smallish, but with a huge walk in shower. Cleanliness downgraded after rubbish found behind the curtain on arrival, probably an oversight. Would stay here again though.
Comfortable and very quiet room with all the usual amenities. I had the heating in but the room was still a bit cold (December). I couldn’t find reception when I arrived as the taxi dropped me in the right hand side and the signage on the door stickers directs you to the end of the right building. There are rooms there but that isn’t where reception is. After walking around in the dark and rain for a few minutes I rang and someone from reception kindly came out from the left side of the left building. Overall I would stay again as it was a nice experience otherwise!

Great location near the harbour in Westerpark. Walking distance to lots of shops and on convenient transit route. Unit very clean and staff helpful BUT AC system in our section of hotel not working after first day. Temp very hot and uncomfortable even with 2 fans running. Difficulty sleeping at night and because it was a fix for contractor problem wasnt resolved during our 3 nite stay because it happened on a weekend. Staff helpful as best they could. Shout out to Olena for being very gracious despite issue.
No where in any document did it say we would have a room with no window. The bed had 2 usb holes on each side, none of them worked to charge. The only outlet was across the room behind the tv. Every time we went out we came back to our keys not working. Very lacking hotel.

My flight was cancelled so I couldn’t even get to Amsterdam and the hotel refused to help in any way with a full or partial refund. Thanks.
Beautiful new hotel not too far away from the city centre in a harbour area. I loved the design of the room and the hotel and the sea view that we were kindly given as an upgrade. I would gladly come again!

You'll have to book the breakfast the day before - given that you arrive before 22.00 where they close for ordres.
There are only power plugs by the bed and not at the small table in middle of the room if you want to use your laptop.
The lightning is either full on or not at all and phone reception is no good due to the concrete building..

The view of the boats is the only thing going for this place. Definitely should not be considered 4 star.
