“Great experience - would highly recommend!”

We stayed for a long weekend while I was running the Amsterdam Marathon. We booked a family suite as we were travelling with our two children, and they absolutely loved the bunk beds! The hotel was impeccably clean, and we ate dinner in the restaurant twice, both times thoroughly enjoying it. Breakfast was outstanding, too! The kids especially loved the chocolate fountain and are still talking about it. Although there isn’t a huge amount of cafes or restaurants in the immediate area, the hotel is just a couple of minutes’ walk from the metro, and there are plenty of Ubers available, making it really convenient to get around. We also walked to a lovely Italian restaurant one evening. Staff were all very welcoming - after leaving they even called to let us know our son had left his teddy in the bedroom and arranged for it to be stored until we collected. We had a fantastic stay and we will absolutely come back! Highly recommend.

“A comfortable and well-run 4-star stay”

stayed here for a busoness trip and found the hotel lived up to its 4-star rating. Check-in at the front desk was smooth and welcoming, and the staff were polite and quick to assist with local recommendations. Room was modern, spotless, and quiet, featuring a very comfortable bed and strong Wi-Fi. The breakfast buffet had a great variety of hot and cold options. it is an easy walk to the train station. The river right outside is a good place to stroll in the evening. Walking to the town cenfre is about 25 mins walk Overall, it offered great value for the price and we would happily stay here again

“Good hotel with an amazing wellness area”

The hotel room was large with a great view. But a highlight was the wellness area on the top floor of the hotel. It has multiple saunas and steam rooms and relaxation areas with amazing views of Amsterdam. This was a great surprise. I recommend this place, it’s beside a train station so easy access to Schipol and down town.

“Poor guest service”

When i checked in to the hotel they took a hold on my card as deposit for the room. In fact, the hotel took the money. As an international guest it creates bank and forex charges. That is why good quality hotels only put a hold on the deposit and not process the payment. When i spoke to Nadia (office manager) she tried to make it my fault for not informing her staff at check in I only wanted a hold on my credit card and it is now my responsibility to contact the bank and ask for my money back. It is very disappointing the way i was dealt with and the staff appear to lack training on how to deal with guests.

“A lovely hotel in a perfect location for exploring Amsterdam ...”

Stayed here for four nights during our first family visit to Amsterdam. The Comfort Triple Room was large, clean, comfortable and bright, with a fantastic view over the canal and Amsterdam-Oost. Beds were very comfortable, and we all slept well. The hotel itself is spacious and modern, with a great bar and dining area, and plenty of general 'chill out' areas scattered around the place. The staff were lovely and attentive, and made us feel very welcome as a family. There's a health / wellness centre that has a couple of nice saunas plus a heated outdoor pool that's lovely, if a little small - it's not really a swimming pool, but it's great if you just want to float about and chat after a hard day touristing. We didn't eat in the restaurant in the evenings, but we did have breakfast every day, and I have to say it's superb, so good that we basically skipped lunch for the duration of our trip! :D But for me I think the hotel's best feature is that as a base for exploring Amsterdam in general, it's in a really fantastic location. We hired bikes from the hotel one day, and discovered that there's a quick cycle path that takes you from the hotel down to the eastern bank of the Amstel. From there, we cycled up the river to Ouderkerk and then managed to get all the way to the Rondehoep polder. An absolutely stunning bike-friendly route through the countryside dotted with little houses, windmills and wildlife. The following day we walked to Overamstel (it's really close, a five minute walk) and got the Metro into Centraal, 20 minutes door to door. We didn't cycle the other way into town during our visit, but I could see that it's very easy to do, not much slower than taking the Metro. So basically it's in an ideal location for exploring both inner city and outer Amsterdam, not too close to the centre, and not too close to the edge. I think we will be returning to this hotel :)
