The room was terribly dirty on arrival , pubic hair on the walls , the soap dispenser by the bathroom sink had what looked like faeces on it , the shower was also dirty and the walls were covered with pink lime scale , the bed I slept on was lobsided and I slept skew all weekend , the carpets are terribly dirty and stained , I didn’t feel comfortable at all and won’t be staying again

We loved this place. I booked it because I thought it was short walk to Centraal Station. It wasn’t. But it was one stop on the metro, really easy, and has a huge Jumbo Market (grocery store) where we were able to get dinner. The hotel itself was big and clean, our room was great and so was the breakfast. Would definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay. Had a room in th corner of the building with a brilliant view form the 11th floor. Thas was awesome! The room was pretty modern, clean and well equipped. Breakfast was delicious, plenty to choose from. It can get busy but there are signs everywhere indicating the busy times so you can plan accordingly. Tho I think the breakfast area is big enough and well managed with several food stations so you are never stuck in a super long queue and don't feel like you need to take everything in one go. We used the metro to get across the river to the old town. It's a 10 min walk to he metro station.

Unfortunately, our stay got off to a very poor start. Although check-in was supposed to be at 3:00 p.m., our room wasn’t ready until 5:00 p.m. While we appreciated the complimentary drink offered as compensation, a two-hour delay is simply not acceptable.

To make matters worse, our room (1131 on the 11th floor) had no hot water in the shower at around 7:00 p.m on Tuesday. It was impossible to wash my hair, which made for a very frustrating and unexpected experience.

The hotel itself is nice, but these two issues overshadowed everything else.

One more thing to keep in mind: the hotel is about a 20-minute walk from the city centre, and you’ll also need to take a ferry to get there. If you have mobility issues or prefer to stay right in the city centre, this may not be the best location for you.

The hotel was a convenient 12 min walk to the free ferry that takes to straight to the center of it all and centraal station. The breakfast was good and had plenty of options, the only complaint I would have is we were told upon checkout that if we needed our room cleaned to notify reception which we did on day 2 first thing in the morning as we left for the day. Upon coming back we come to a room that was not cleaned and no towels. We call reception and get transferred to a from different people, finally we get a housekeeper and because of the language barrier we only managed to get towels, but after that 3-4 more people come with towels. I'm not sure where the miscommunication was but that was the only upsetting factor on this trip.

Hotel offers value x money in the sense that you are 15min away from Amsterdam Central in metro+bus (even walking the last leg). Breakfast is good enough - but beware of the masses. Staff is generally nice. Rooms are functional but small (as many European hotels).

A good 15 min. Walk to free ferry to city. The staff was very helpful in assisting you. The room was clean but bed could have been made up and fresh towels everyday. They only come I to your room every 2 days. In general pleased with the accommodations for what we paid.

It’s my first time seeing a chain hotel room with no fridge or safe. The shower tray is only 1 centimeter deep, so the water just overflows onto the bathroom floor. Naturally, you can’t even use the hairdryer in the bathroom because of this. There’s only one restaurant for such a huge hotel, so there’s no place to sit for breakfast in the morning. Based on all this, the price is completely completely out of line with the quality of service.

Shampoo and soap dispensers were high and didn't pump all that well. Not enough towels as the floor flooded each time you showered. Pillows were too soft and felt Like cotton balls. And the mattress cover was broken and moved down the bed.

Excellent room and staff. The breakfast buffet had a good variety and was well prepared. We gave the hotel 4 stars instead of 5 because our daughter joined us on this trip and the fold-out bed was very uncomfortable. This bed was apparently old and not in good shape.. The head and foot of the bed were higher than the middle due to a significant sag and the springs were painfully prominent. Other than this, the hotel is excellent and we recommend it - just check the extra bed when you check in.
