Not the best experience.

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 12 Jul 2024
Hotel was clean throughout. The room itself was fine, beds and pillows were comfy.

We reserved a 'city view' room. This implies it would be a central city view. This is not what we got. We had a view of residential housing.

There was no mention of 'tourist tax' at the time of booking (via easyJet). This was nearly 40 euros. Paying tax on top of a room you've already paid for is shocking.

The shower pressure wasn't great. If you position the showerhead slightly to the right, water goes onto the bathroom floor. Towels are also small (take your own if you like a large one).

The restaurant wasn't the best. We had ordered two pizzas and waited around 45mins for them. Two couples came in after us, ordered the same thing and had left before we got ours. The waiter eventually noticed us, and said & "two pizzas" to his colleague.

It was around 5mins after that our pizzas finally came out, greasy and underwhelming. The waiter was full of apologies.

Breakfast was okay. Although the queuing system is non-existent and the people within the restaurant were rude & pushy at best.

I would happily visit Amsterdam again... just not this hotel.

Hotel is well connected to the city centre 10 mins walk to subway station or 10 mins walk to free boat to centraal station.

Good value for money considering the cost of hotels in the city centre catering for families. The breakfast was good also.

Good hotel on the north side of Amsterdam. Central Amsterdam can be accessed via a free local ferry service so it a 20 minute walk from the hotel. Staff are friendly and rooms are clean. Slightly annoying that the hotel charges €20.00 to check you in early (pre-3pm).

Beautiful hotel, nice room with amazing view but all the experience is pretty sad because the reception staff is not being very profesional and for sure not very helpful.

I would not recommend this hotel because is pretty far from Amsterdam Central, walking 20 minutes to take the ferry.

I left disappointed by the whole experience, the only ones who changed a little bit the mood was Eleni, Christos and Mina (F&B department) being friendly and profesional in the same time and having always a big smile on their face!

Great for location to city centre ( providing you are relatively active, 20 min walk to ferry ( free service). Poor breakfast selection and over the 3 days continuously running out of options even when getting down for an early one. Reception staff excellent. Must improve Breakfast though and would rate this place higher.

Room tip: Parking fees at hotel €25 per day, outside hotel €9.50 per day, no brainer. Very simple and safe walk to the ferry and extremely frequent.
