Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a unique two-level room layout, with stunning views of the city. The service is exceptional and friendly, enhancing the overall experience. The location is perfectly situated for exploring the town, and the dining options are abundant.
I loved the hotel's cozy and gorgeously decorated rooms, but missed out on the classic Amsterdam views since we didn't face the river. The service was top-notch with a few minor exceptions. The location was superb, close to many attractions and transportation options. The dining experience was excellent overall despite some quirks. The facilities were impressive, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
I had an amazing experience at this hotel! The rooms, even though a bit outdated, were spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The indoor pool was fantastic, and the staff made our early check-in seamless, allowing us to relax by the pool with a cup of hot tea. The dancing exercise program in the pool was so much fun, and the spa helped ease some back pains. The location over the river added to the charm of this place.
The hotel offers spacious and bright rooms at a lower price due to renovation, though not a 5-star standard. The service was exceptional, especially with helpful restaurant suggestions. The location is superb with wonderful water views, and the dining experience, while pricey, delivered a wide selection of delicious food. The facilities were well-maintained and enjoyable.
I was delighted with the stunning views from our room on the upper floors overlooking the water, the spacious and bright ambiance with large windows that let in lots of natural light. However, the inconvenience of no elevator to our room was a downside.
