Nice hotel in calmer part of Amsterdam with a friendly staff. Rooms were larger than I imagined. Hotel restaurant has very nice atmosphere but the food was average. Overall a great experience and would book again.

I have never been to a 2-star hotel as bad as this one, forget a 4-star one. To start off we were put in a room that had accessibility issues (after knowing we had a small baby with us), when we asked to move the front desk moved us to another one. Conveniently leaving out the info that the room had scaffolding outside, people were working on the scaffolds and because of that the windows hadn’t been opened in days making the entire room musty. We were then moved to another room which worked or so we thought. We called the concierge letting them know the fridge wasn’t working, they sent someone who apparently thought two adults have never used a fridge before because she kept insisting that’s how cool this fridge ever got even after we told her we’d been to two other rooms in the hotel and had no issues with the fridge. Finally a maintenance person came and realised the fridge wasn’t connected to the right power source! For a so called 4-star hotel the service was atrocious. We left signs asking for the room to be cleaned at 10AM and when we came back to the room at 2.30PM it was still unclean. We’d asked for something to be stored in the freezer specifically for the baby, but it was left in the fridge overnight making it useless. The worst part was the front desk saying I should take it up with however I spoke to the previous evening. Even overlooking all this there isn’t much to do around the area, the park is a nice place to spend time but that’s about it.

A rare and beautiful gem, this hotel is literally integrated into a huge and beautiful park as their back yard. There is convenient bike rental (at the hotel—expensive, or 1/2 block away using Donkey Republic). The interior is artfully designed and beautiful, with rotating artist selections throughout. The staff is extremely accommodating. Just a superb property I can only hope to visit yet again.

I liked the big windows, and the character of the building. The ceilings were delightful. The shower/bathroom area is made from clear glass and one way glass.. there is 0 privacy to shower or use the toilet. I dont love my husband's silhouette when hes using the toilet. Employees seemed a bit put out when asked for anything. Seems like they believe if they keep telling you its a very nice hotel, it will become one.

Water from the shower stall leaked into the bathroom and covered the floor making it inaccessible. We requested a room change and the second room was the same but not as bad. Appears to be a design problem.

A beautiful hotel, the location is just remote enough from the Cemtruum craziness, facing a beautiful park. The room was comfortable and the overall hotel is stunning. The restaurant was very nice and fresh. The service could have been a little better, not so welcoming arrival but staff was overall courteous, the luggage self-serve lockers are amazing.

The first impression was not great as the guy on reception was unhelpful and unfriendly. We stayed 2 nights and the staff at the restaurant on the first night were excellent. Unfortunately, the staff at the restaurant on the second night were disinterested in serving us and we had great difficulty getting our meal. The room was spacious and well equipped. We found the hotel to be very expensive for what you get. We found the hotel very difficult to navigate at first and a map would have been very useful when we checked in. This is not your average chain hotel.

I booked the room in error whilst attending an event at the hotel, I was due to stay 16th April 2024, however, the hotel showed ZERO flexibility in offering to move the booking despite Expedia agreeing and trying to help, the offered no concession on booking another room on the same day so took my business elsewhere, I travel extensively around the world and this is the first time I have endured such poor service, my advice is do not stay here. Quite unbelievable in these times...
