Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a great location just outside the city center, with easy access to trendy neighborhoods and charming shops. The rooms are small and uncomfortable, with low ceilings and subpar pillows. The service is friendly and helpful, but hygiene practices in the dining area could be improved. The dining options are limited and may become repetitive for longer stays.
The hotel rooms were very clean and spacious, with good amenities. Although beautiful, the early morning noise from breakfast preparations was disruptive. The service was exceptional, with extremely friendly and helpful staff offering great assistance. The hotel's location in De Pijp was convenient, close to local attractions and public transportation. Overall, a pleasant stay marred slightly by morning disturbance.
The hotel offered clean and comfortable rooms, friendly and accommodating service, and a convenient location near De Pijp. While the room size could have been bigger for the price paid, the small kitchenette was a nice touch. The variety in dining options could have been improved, but the morning spread was enjoyable with a lovely coffee machine and a good selection of foods.
The hotel was cozy and the staff were polite and helpful. However, the room was small and uncomfortable, lacking privacy with a view into the restaurant. The location was convenient with easy access to trams but not exactly central.
I had a pleasant stay overall. The rooms, although a bit smaller than expected, were clean and lovely. The staff was incredibly professional and respectful, even going the extra mile to move our bags without us asking. The location was convenient for exploring the neighborhood but a bit far from the main attractions. The dining options were varied and tasty, but slightly overpriced. The facilities were well-maintained, and the hotel offered some great amenities.
Wow, the hotel was a total surprise for me! The rooms were unbelievably spacious and quiet, leading to the best night's sleep I've had in ages. However, they were situated in a completely separate building from the reception, breakfast area, and pool. The comfort of the rooms was top-notch though.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were nice, modern, and clean, and we enjoyed stunning views. The service was amazing with polite and very helpful receptionists. The location was fabulous, close to local attractions but away from the busy center. The dining experience had some ups and downs but was overall satisfactory.
I celebrated my girlfriend's birthday at the hotel, enjoying a room with a bathtub and a view of the riverside. The hotel has great views and a thoughtful room layout. While the price is a bit high, the experience was worth it.
This hotel is perfect for couples looking for a room overlooking the river, although it might be challenging with a toddler due to the stairs. The rooms were spacious and very soundproof, but being on the first floor surrounded by buildings limited the view. The service was lacking, with stressed and untrained staff, especially considering the high price of the stay. The location was convenient for exploring the charming neighborhoods and local park, with plenty of dining options nearby. The dining experience was below par, with limited and overpriced options. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel offers a quiet atmosphere close to the river.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely beautiful and very spacious. I had a small kitchen space with a fridge, microwave, sink, and a coffee machine, which was even better than what I initially booked. I will definitely be returning in the near future.
I felt so cocooned and peaceful in the comfortable rooms that I extended my stay for an extra two nights. The cleanliness and comfort were top-notch, but some areas could be cleaner. The bar staff were not as welcoming as I hoped.
The hotel was cozy and welcoming, with friendly staff and convenient services. Though the room cleanliness fell short of expectation, it was ready early for us. The location in De Pijp was vibrant, surrounded by dining options and with easy access to public transport. The dining experience, while not exceptional, offered tasty snacks. The facilities were adequate but lacked some polish in service.
