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. 👏👏👏

I was swapped to a different hotel because of parking issues, stayed at sister hotel Roemer. Amazing staff, very comfortable bed and had a jacuzzi bath! Very good location, right in the centre of town. The origional hotel also looked lovely, staff were very helpful when it came to transferring me to the Roemer.

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

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.

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.

Funky hotel close to free ferry port

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.

Modern suite with bath

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.

I liked the location very much. My room didn't have a view (it was an 'inside' room) but as I was out all day from early at a conference it was not a problem and it was dark enough when I wanted to go to sleep. The bathroom facilities were well appointed and I liked the toiletries very much - they smelt clean and fresh rather than being overly fragranced. The staff on the desk were very helpful as well and I was impressed that they switched easily from Dutch to English (I am fluent in both) and nothing was too much hassle. The hotel is on the No 48 bus route making it a very easy commute to town (7 minutes to Centraal Station) and the recommendation to try Pikoteo for my evening meal (practically across the road) as I arrived quite late on my first evening was really welcomed.
