I was pleasantly surprised by the overall stay. The entrance lobby and bar area was very clean and well decorated. The communal toilets were super clean and the bedroom was also well cleaned.

Really good value for money.Suprised at how modern and clean.Really pleased with the whole experience.Will definitely be back.
Rachel, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok place to stay. In a quiet location with easy access to Amsterdam via the free ferries. Dangerously hot showers though, that should be really be replaced. Expensive for what it is really, but you're paying to stay in Amsterdam I suppose.

10/10 Exceptional

Unique place to stay, close to city

Stayed here many times but this was the first since being renovated! Great place to stay, rooms are small but clean & have plenty of character. Staff friendly & the night time security guard is the best! Will definitely be back again and cannot recommend this place enough if you’re looking for somewhere close enough to the city without the price tag. Ferry from NDSM is free and runs every 20 mins to Centraal until 1:30am.
MEGAN, 3-night trip

This is truly an experience. Great fun and unique. Not plush or posh, it was as you would expect. Breakfast was generous and good. Well worth the experience.
Gavin, 2-night trip

We didn't like the concept of self checking-in and out. And defineteley not a fan of having a robot (via whats app) as a concierge. The hotel was clean, and transportatition to/from the hotel was convinient.

2/10 Poor

No No No No No!

The worst place I have ever stayed in my life. Walls were torn apart, public rooms separated by curtains, no common room for visiting, beds in dorms were too too close, room was stuffy, blanket was flimsy, breakfast was served in an altogether different place, workmen busy and loud on Easter Sunday morning ... need I go on?
Pam, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The letter L loft was the most unique room we have stayed at, the views were great and the staff were very helpful.
Willow, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property is unique! We stayed in Loft B. The views are incredible with outside seating areas and perfect peace and quiet. Our last night was during an Amber Wind Warning for the Amsterdam area but apart from the wind noise we felt perfectly safe. The room is on 3 levels, the bottom has bathroom, kitchen and skateboard park! Helmets and boards are provided. I am 67 but I still had a go. This level has 2 very big circular windows and we spent most our time in looking out at the passing boats. There is spiral staircase to the middle level. We used this as our dressing room with a table and seating and room for our cases. The 2 upper floors have very strong safety netting and lots of electric sockets. There is a very safe ladder that leads you up to the bedroom. My partner has a fear of heights but she was perfectly fine going up and down. The bedroom has two large double beds with a shelf for your bits and pieces and a TV. We kept most our stuff on the middle floor as I said. My partner had "the best sleep of her life". That may have been due to having a bed to herself! We loved our stay and we will always remember the B.

Amazing staff and my loft letter "E" was unbeleivable. You have the ferry to cross the canal right next to you.

Klaus, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We sliepen in een van de letter suites, de L. Prima ruimte met mooi uitzicht over het Ij. Incl ontbijt. Prijs kwaliteit verhouding helemaal prima. Het is geen 5 sterren hotel, dus verwacht ook geen 5 sterren service. Voor de prijs die je betaald heb je een prima overnachtingsmogelijkheid in Amsterdam, met een prima ontbijt! Met het veer ben je zo het Ij over en sta je bij het Centraal station, van daaruit kun je de hele stad bereiken. De boot ligt aan de NDSM pier, wat ook een leuk stukje Amsterdam is, met restaurantjes en uitgaansgelegenheden! Prima locatie!
Anja, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great view, clean, good location. We have a small problem but they solved it right away. To be a port side facility is not smelly. Great option.
