"Excellent stay! Great price for such a luxurious hotel. Was hesitant about it being far from the center but it is across the street from the Metro stop and only a couple stops into the different neighbourhoods to explore (and 6 to centraal). Very convenient, clean and has the coziest beds!! Will stay here again next time I visit. Also loved the free drink voucher if you choose go green at checkout as the bar is lovely! "

"The hot tubs and sauna were nice. When they open them up to the community, which is a nice thing to do, it became too busy. The restaurant on site was only ok. Quite limited in menu. "

"I was travelling with my 19 year old son. The room was lovely but it felt more like a room for a couple. The breakfast was lovely, plenty to choose from and the staff were very friendly. The location was perfect for our two night stay. I only wish I had booked a canal view as the view at the back was not so good, but it was quiet which we were grateful for after long days exploring Amsterdam. "

"A very well placed hotel with great amenities. The pizza machine was fascinating. Sadly, one of the bar staff (male) was quite condescending to one of the newer female bar staff. She was doing a good job given she was only 3 days in, he wasn’t very polite to her, it was a shame to see. "

"The hotel itself was very good! Staff were friendly and dinner at the restaurant was surprisingly great. Only thing is it’s quite far from everything touristy and the town centre. ~10 minute walk to the #2 tram, which will take a ~30 minute ride to city centre. Overall a great hotel if you don’t mind the commute."
