I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is perfect — super convenient and just a short walk to the train, which made getting around so easy. The room was very clean and well-kept, and the service was friendly and welcoming from start to finish. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

When I went to the hotel for check-in, in the booking it said 3pm, I arrived at 2:55pm, the room is not ready and the reception asked me to wait without giving estimated time, I waited until 3:16pm to get my room card, while I was watering for my room to be ready, I noticed that there are other guests successfully checked in to their rooms while I was waiting, which doesn’t feel right/good to me, as a four star hotel, I would expect the reception to re-arrange an empty room for me instead of keeping me waiting. And there two other things that makes it worse, one is that the shower started to leak once which is kind of terrifying when you are alone at the hotel room in the middle of night, and also the hanging bracket for the shampoo/shower gel is not working, one bracket screw is lose and the other one does not hold the bottle. The good thing I like is the bed, it’s comfortable and firm.

Boutique Hotel with Friendly Staff

The hotel was a fun departure from the typical Marriotts, etc. The staff is really friendly and helpful. Our room had great views of the water and everything was clean and orderly. The breakfast was a normal, tasty European style breakfast and the Sky Club had good drinks. The Mariner Club is a one minute walk for quality Mediterranean food. Overall we really enjoyed staying here.

So near and yet so far

The idea behind the hotel is good, an eco friendly hotel in a new development only 20 minutes from the centre of Amsterdam.

However, there are so many minor niggles, plus one or two more serious problems. Whether it's the fact they don't provide slippers yet the floors are wooden and dirty, the fact there are only two lifts and one was broken for most of our stay or the touch panel controlled shower that doesn't respond to wet hands, they are all things that anyone who runs a hotel should know to avoid or mitigate.

The major problem though is the air conditioning. It's a great idea in principle, however it feels like it was implemented by someone fresh out of college with no real world experience of how to make things work for people. The biggest problem was you couldn't turn it off! Press the off button and the fan sounds like a jet engine spooling up. Have it on auto and there are only two fan settings, one too weak to maintain a temperature it seems to target precisely (rather than running to a tolerance band) and the other loud enough to wake you up when it kicks in.

This, plus the far too soft pillows that hotels seem to love left us short of sleep and too tired to properly enjoy our time there.

Not helped by the private function (unannounced) in the bar above our room which carried on until after midnight with loud music thumping out.

If they fixed these fairly minor issues it would be a great place to stay, but until then... avoid.

Very Disappointing

Made a booking for a get away to celebrate with my wife and little baby. Firstly, we were not advised that there was refurbishment work taking place in the lobby, no mention on their website or booking platforms. This was a surprise on arrival. Secondly, we raised on a number of occasions that the telephone was not working and only half the shower head was working, each day we were advised an engineer will go in to fix and each day nothing was done, simply lies. We could not order an iron by telephone and had to visit reception, wasting our time. This was wasted further when it took ages to get an iron!
Thirdly, we had taken our baby's own towel due to sensitive skin, this was taken by housekeeping and when this was raised with management, they said housekeeping could not find it! It was very disappointing especially when it was a printed towel so easily identifiable. Lastly, when checking out we managed to raise the queries with the manager who advised the phones were down due to cabling issues caused by the refurbishment work, it took 50 minutes to be offered an EUR 28 (parking fee for 1 day) refund and have a printed confirmation, the printer had issues and I was waiting 20 minutes just for a print out.

It was a very disappointing stay and the refund was acknowledged so we could buy ourself another baby towel, ignoring the failures of all the other issues. Would not recommend!

There was not any upgrade for us and also there was no VIP access either. The air conditioning was non existent in this hotel. While it was not extremely hot outside the room would hold in the heat and stuffiness and it would not cool off at night. We opened the window at night but it’s on opened about 4 inches so there was very little relief in the room,

So we stayed here as near a wedding venue. A/C never got cool, set to 18 but never got below 21. Very eco but not good. Rug next to bed looked very dirty, could in theory be design but was not going to touch to find out. Bathroom good but some flaws, bedroom nice, but an hour to get to most places in Amsterdam and previous places have only been 30 minutes away. In short we would not stay again, but it was OK

Earthy, eco friendly hotel. Hearty and healthy breakfast buffet is the best. Logistically it is a bit out of the way from the central area, so it’s important to plan your logistics, if you have a large heavy luggage or come back to the hotel later in the evening when you travel by Tram #26. It’s quite a bit of walk from the tram stop to the hotel and it’s quite dark to walk in the late evening. But other than that we are happy with our stay.

Not sure I would stay there again

The stay was fine, the room was ok but a bit small for two friends. The bathroom light stayed on for a long time after the door was closed so kept me awake sometimes. No room service and confusion about the cup supply. I booked because we wanted to spend time in the roof top bar but couldn’t for one of the two nights.
The extra tourist tax was high, the other hotel we stayed in was cheaper, this was not explained at the time of booking.the breakfast was extremely expensive , we didn’t want a huge one only toast and coffee.
On the second day the room key didn’t work so we had to return to the front desk to reactivate.

The dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed in…..the staff are rude and try to charge you for things you haven’t done. I am a medical cannabis user and have been visiting Holland for 20 odd years and never had a problem leaving my medicine in my room but this time I got accused of smoking and they locked my door and refused to open it until I payed a fine. I explained to the rude hotel staff who continued to tell me that I will be watched like a hawk the whole remainder of my stay.

The rooms are small and filthy with dust from floor to ceiling and all the windows were so dirty you can barely see out of them. The balcony was the dirtiest I have ever witnessed with cigarettes stuffed under the lip of the walls.

There is no WiFi and your phone signal I limited I never had more than 1 bar.

The tv channels are all in Dutch and they have no apps and they’re mirroring services don’t work either.

Loud music from the rooftop bar that can be privately rented will most certainly keep you awake till 12am with thumping music that vibrates throughout the hotel.

I have stayed in cleaner hostel that show you more respect.

Avoid this hotel like the plague it’s a run buy liars and thieves that will try and scam you.

Tip for hotel management: place bins outside near the entrance to somewhere else. It’s horrible to enter the hotel through a smoke curtain and it doesn’t fit within your sustainability ethos!

Nice hotel outside the bustle of the inner city which was the biggest selling point for me. If you want the action, this place is not it, but it’s only 15 min from CS on tram 26 toward Ijburg. There were nice views of the water from the room. Hotel restaurant was lovely. The bed had lots of nice pillows and the bathroom was very clean. Only downside is it’s a 5-10 min walk from the tram stop, which could be a pain for someone with a lot of luggage.

Hotels a bit of a con if you ask me!!

Lovely hotel and comfy beds, however these may only be the only two good points!! Doesnt state before you book that there is no smoking, even on your balconies which we had paid extra for, hotel is also out of the way which we didn't mind cause we thought we had a luxury of sitting out on the balcony chilling. Didnt even have chairs and also says its a sea view, barely atol was a courtyard view same as the cheaper options just a floor or 2 up!!

Also if your taking a number two (poo) and like some privacy, beware cause there is no lock and its a big frosted glass door.

I would stay the Four Elements again.

I arrived a couple days early for Riverboat Cruise. We learned how to use the tram system, while exploring Amsterdam. This picturesque Hotel over looking a lake and has a canal locked just out side the front door. The Four Elements Hotel has an excellent location to the tram, which was only 12 minutes away from the City’s Central train station. From there there the rest of the City is accessible. I recommend the pancakes and the canal hop on / hop off boat ride. The hotels own restaurant is not too shabby either. (I liked their Sirloin Salad.)
