Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located outside the city center, providing a quiet atmosphere and within biking distance of everything. The rooms are nice and intimate, but lacking natural light for quality photos and videos, and tended to be very warm even with heating off, especially at night.
Staying at this hotel was an interesting experience. The rooms were unique, with a cozy seating area downstairs offering beautiful views of the Oosterpark. While some areas needed a bit of vacuuming, the lights were fixed promptly on the third day. The service was friendly, and the staff even placed us in their favorite room, which was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. The location, situated in the scenic Oosterpark recreation area, was perfect for a peaceful stay just a metro ride away from the center of Amsterdam. Dining options varied from 'ok' to superb, with the latter being delicious meals both in the restaurant and at the hotel. Overall, a mixed but memorable stay.
The hotel is situated on the edge of the Oosterpark in a quiet neighborhood, not too far from the city center, offering a great location. The rooms are nice with two levels, but they may feel a bit small due to their attic conversion style. Despite ongoing renovations, the service provided, including dealing with noisy residents at night, was satisfactory. The dining options were average, with only a big brunch available for a relatively high price.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, though spacious with high ceilings and a comfortable bed, faced the back where staff unloaded trucks, and there were cleanliness issues with an unsafe floor. The service was exceptional, accommodating, and friendly, but the dining options left much to be desired. The location was convenient, near a beautiful park, but the pricing seemed off for the facilities provided.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were a bit challenging to manage for us, aged 69 and 76, however, they were surprisingly not very hotel-like but clean and decently sized. The service was friendly but lacked in attentiveness and could use some improvement. The location is great for park lovers but a bit off from the city center. Dining was slow, but the food quality and selection were commendable. Overall, a decent place with some room for enhancement in various aspects.
I had a great stay at this hotel. The rooms were incredibly comfortable and clean, though they lacked a bit of character. The service was top-notch, with a very friendly and accommodating staff. The location was excellent with easy access to transport and stunning views. The dining experience, while a bit expensive, offered wonderful choices. Overall, a fantastic place to stay.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The rooms were immaculately clean and very modern, with high ceilings and lovely facilities like the bar and breakfast area. The bathroom with a free-standing bath and shower, plus a view of the courtyard, was a real highlight.
Our stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were large and comfortable, with a huge bathroom, but being in a loft room with angled beams was a challenge for us at our age. The service was extremely polite and welcoming, although sometimes the staff seemed more focused on tasks than attending to guests. The location was perfect, situated in a beautiful park with a pleasant walk to many attractions, yet a bit noisy being next to the road. The dining experience was a bit of a mixed bag, with wonderful food but some delays. Overall, it offered great value for money with a few hiccups.
Staying at the hotel was a unique experience; the rooms, though in an attic with low ceilings, were surprisingly lovely and clean, plus the free mobile phone for our stay was a nice touch. The modern design and high ceilings added a special touch, even though it may feel small for some. The service was pleasant and helpful, making up for the pricey parking. The location, while away from the center, was conveniently close to transportation and a park. The dining experience was good, especially the buffet-style dinner, although the breakfast prices felt a bit high. Overall, the facilities were commendable.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, although the layout was a bit awkward with limited space for movement. However, the actual rooms didn't match the images online. The lack of noise from the ventilation system was a plus, but the service had its ups and downs. The location was unique and tranquil, tucked away in a park but a bit off the beaten path. The dining options, though somewhat on the expensive side, offered delicious delicacies. Overall, a stay with both highs and lows.
