We had a very good time in this property, the location is north of Amsterdam so be aware that to go back and forth you will have to take some means of transport (it is a couple of km and nothing more), the hotel provides bicycles to rent, we didn't take them just because of the continuous rain but a few minutes away you will find the metro stop that will take you to the center. The rooms are large and very clean, you will not find a bidet and in our case wardrobes but only hangers but for a few days of stay it is not a significant problem. In the morning I recommend going early for breakfast because being a very large hotel you could find a big crowd during peak hours (9/9.30). The staff is very kind in advising you on activities for your stay and for any request. Last but not least, a few meters away you will find a supermarket (market Amsterdam) with the possibility of taking take-away food or consuming it inside the market.

The hotel looks new , but unfortunately, the location is inconvenient—you need to either walk and take a train or walk and catch a ferry to reach the central station. There are only few restaurants or activities nearby, and while the hotel has a restaurant, it’s pricey with small portions and slow service. Room cleaning was disappointing; even after requesting it, our room wasn’t cleaned. The hotel charges extra for almost everything, like bike rentals or early check-in (if the room is available). There’s no safe, refrigerator, or wardrobe in the rooms, and the air conditioning barely worked with no solution offered. The breakfast was decent, but overall, we wouldn’t stay here again.

We had a room near the elevator - you could hear it well at night. The breakfast was disgraceful - no jam, no egg or coffee spoons.

The hotel itself is nice.But I was completely disappointed when the receptionist started speaking russian to me after finding out I’m from Ukraine.I insisted on continuing in English, but she kept speaking in russian, saying that my language choice seemed strange and beyond her understanding.Only then she switch back, showing clear displeasure.In the third year of a full-scale war, I shouldn’t have to explain to anyone why I don’t speak the language of the occupants killing my people.Especially in the international hotel chain.

Such a great hotel! The staff is so so nice, rooms are cozy and clean. The Location is also nice, but the only disadvantage is that you have to walk 10 minutes to the metro station. From there, you’re only 1 station away from the city centre ☺️.
