I decided to stay in this hotel for pleasure with my family in summer 2015 because it was a cheaper option with direct access to central Amsterdam using the metro.
I booked two rooms as we were 3 adults and 2 children. Unfortunately, no interconnecting rooms were available so we have been allocated two rooms next to each other. They were contemporary, clean and reasonably sized. The bathroom is enveloped by a glass wall separating it from the room, so unless the guests are related then it might be an embarrassment. There is an LED display outside the room to indicate if the room is occupied and if the guest wishes not to be disturbed or requesting room makeup.
A breakfast was offered in the morning but it was limited in its selection.
Just an observation: I noticed that the staff were cold and less engaging with the guests especially at the front desk. I understand that it is part of the local culture there. But a hotel in a business area hosting international guests should overcome this cultural obstacle.
The hotel is in a business/corporate area with lots of multinational companies. It benefits from its proximity from the metro station with direct access to the center of Amsterdam. However when I returned late at night from Amsterdam city centre I had to take 2 buses to reach the hotel within 1 hour.
I recommend this hotel if you are a business travel with job to do in the area or if you are looking for a cheaper option for staying in Amsterdam. read more
