With the exception of one minor…read more"issue" we encountered, they truly make staying here an experience, and the way they made our five-year old feel so loved and welcomed was incredible. This was particularly true of the morning breakfast staff - namely Natascha, Paula, Sabrina, and Thomas. They are the reason we would most definitely stay here if in Amsterdam again. Our room itself was fine. We had a standard king corner room, and it got the job done. There weren't any bells or whistles, and it's clear they have updated some things about the hotel with others still needing that update and refresh. My major complaint was that we didn't really receive a room upgrade despite there being availability. I'm not really one to waive my IHG Diamond status around or try to be "that" kind of hotel guest, but we did politely ask after seeing availability and was told there was no availability. I haven't found the room upgrade benefit to be a universally applied one in Europe to be honest. Had that worked out, we might have had a better impression of the room quality, size, and overall stay. Other than that, the location is solid being so close to the Zuid station. The live music in the bar area on Thursday was great, and in general, the bar was solid overall. If you have club lounge access, there is a club here, but most of the benefits are taken outside of the club. Those additional efforts to make the club lounge benefit meaningful for those with access despite the lounge area itself not really having much were appreciated. Overall, definitely solid. With just a bit more umph to the room, an easy 5-star review.

Check-in was smooth, we didn't receive any upgrade or welcome amenity (this is not guaranteed, of…read morecourse) but also no effort was made to place our three rooms together. The hotel was reasonably clean, but housekeeping was inconsistent--limited mostly to just making the bed, and the bathroom wasn't refreshed. The location was good, although not in the city center, it's very close to the Zuid metro station. While in our room, housekeeping somehow damaged my electric toothbrush, which was unsettling given that the bathroom wasn't even cleaned. When I brought this to the manager's attention, she was defensive and insisted they would need a receipt and to speak with staff before even considering compensation. At that point, it didn't feel worth pursuing. Overall, it was an average stay. Nothing was terrible, but with other hotels offering equal or better service for a similar price, I would explore other options next time.

My work booked me here for a months stay and oh wow!!! this place was truly amazing. It's so hip,…read moreand happening, am very happy got to experience it and my main reason for choosing it was because there was a direct bus from the bus stop outside which dropped me off near my work building in 35mins! So I guess having good intentions does matter. So why the love for this place? Well first let my start off with the lovely staff. I arrived at noon and check-in wasn't till 3pm. I was jet-lagged, tired, smelly and in desperate need of a hot shower and a place to rest. Nimka, at reception totally emphasized, called house-keeping and 45 mins later my room was available. The hotel's owner was also happy to supply me with a resident letter which was super essential for me to register with Amsterdam Town Hall and without which, I wouldn't have been able to work. Also Carlo at the front desk, later on in my stay checked that I was happy and when I mentioned the smell of the soup was fairly aggressive for me, since I'm a wee bit sensitively artificial smells, they got a neutral scent soap for me! Just saying! Moving on to the room - oh la la!! It's modern hipster living design elements at its best. Any Brooklynite's reading this review would totally want to live in this space! Everything (including the kitchen sink!) has its place and yet the room walked super spacious. I had a side view of the street and loved the blackout curtains so could sleep comfortably in the massive bed. The headboard was too cute / it's shape profile was like an Amsterdam canal house! The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with pots/ pans/ baking dish/ cutlery etc. No toaster but I used the pan and excellent coffee plus tea machine. Tons of storage space and a lovely + comfy couch. Loved the thoughtfully curated books about Amsterdam that were in the bookshelf as well as the side table. Gadget-wise too, this hotel rocks! All the light switches are dimmers! If you press down on the switch longer, it becomes brighter! There are two usb chargers built-in next to the bedside table, which is super convenient. Also, the shower in the bathroom was fantastical! They had a rain shower which just melted away all my travel dirt and it was super refreshing to use, with great water pressure. The hand-held shower has 3 settings which it was super easy to toggle between. The tiles were delft blue and so u totally got the Dutch feeling. BTW, did I mention how spacious it was? Other amenities that impressed me was the sauna and the gym. There is a restaurant also attached with Movenpick Ice-cream!! This is my fave brand of ice-cream in the world! Ben & Jerrys!?! Pshaw! Movenpick's where it is at! Silky, smooth, buttery - make sure u try this ice-cream at the restaurant if u stay here. Btw, this place is also so well located, it's a short 20min tram ride to Amsterdam Central aka the touristy got spot but it's lovely to come back to this hotel and get away from the crowds and wind down and chillax. Other things I like about the place: - the Braille language in the elevator - the bowl of oranges near the elevator lobby - the wonderful cinnamon candy you get as a gift - the laundry facilities include soap and they also have hanging racks Overall absolutely recommend if you are looking for a cool and hip hotel in a great location for a short trip or even a long stay!

On our flight from Los Angeles…read moreto Frankfurt, our layover in Amsterdam turned from 3 hours into 24 hours after a leg was canceled. We were able to find a last minute room here, and the rest was history. This hotel is modern, spacious, and delightfully new. We loved our room - from the techie-friendly way to open the door (don't worry - really easy!) to the modern bathroom with huge waterfall shower. The bed was very comfortable with two USB ports on each side for easy charging. There was even a stocked Nespresso machine in the mini-kitchen! The surrounding area was nice, with plenty of food in walking distance and the tram right out front. We were able to hop on the tram to get into the main city or head to the airport! (We did both.) I wish we had taken more photos, because this place is so cool that you have to see it to believe it. We will absolutely return to Amsterdam, if only to stay here. Long story short? Choose this one! Like a cherry on top, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended stay to anyone visiting Holland!

Modern, minimalist, comfortable…read more I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The decoration of the lobby, typical international modern. The runs were a bit of a surprise and it took me a minute to get used to it, but it works, especially for a solo traveler or a couple that is at least very familiar with each other could enjoy. The room was compact, but it was very comfortable and perfect for someone who's not planning on spending a lot of time in the room, but visiting a wonderful city. I even got used to the unusual "matter transporter" toilet and shower, functional and take up minimal space in a small room. I would definitely stay in this hotel again, but I did miss having a refrigerator in my room. That was the only "demerit."

There's a water station in the lobby which came in handy. The rooms are designed for solo or couple travels but challenging with a friend or family. The shower is situated in the middle of the room and completely clear/open. There is a sheer curtain that half covers it but you can still clearly see the person showering - it's so odd and I have never seen anything like it. Similarly, the washroom is also pretty open, it has a round door that confines you when closed. The entire room is controlled via an iPad which came in handy when controlling the curtains, lights, TV, temperature. There's no in room dinning. And they offer a half cleaning service (towel refresh) and no linen change. Overall, it's fine and I would stay here again if I was travelling with my husband or solo. I would not stay here with a friend or family again given all the constraints.

Given that it's only 1 month old, it's extremely clean and chic. The room has a fully functional kitchen (microwave; dishwasher, stove, fridge, etc) and a very relaxing shower.

They don't offer room service as of now, but will likely offer it in the future. The restaurant closes at 10pm and the bar at 12pm. Location is very accessible from city center.

Even though I had booked a king room, they were able to put us in a double which was perfect. The room itself was very spacious, we loved that they had a kitchenette and that the TV moved so it could be watched from nothing the couch and the bed. The breakfast was just okay, I enjoyed that they had soup and boiled eggs but was slightly underwhelmed based on other Marriotts. The location itself is also okay, it's by a large shopping mall but there are not a ton of great restaurants around for eating. I stayed here as it was close to my work office, but the metro to get into town is ~10 minutes away. I was able to get dry cleaning done as well with a next day turnaround which was perfect. The only thing that I did not like was they only had a combined shampoo/ conditioner instead of a separate one. This typically does not work for my hair so I had to use my own conditioner The hotel staff and hotel is great and lovely. Overall had a very positive experience. I would stay here again in the future if I had to go for work but would prefer staying in Central if for pleasure.
