Einzigartiges Design für ein nettes Wochenende
Pros:

Wirklich eine Unterkunft mit außergewöhnlichem Ambiente, sehr liebevoll gestaltet. Für Gruppen oder Regentage stehen auch Spiele zur Verfügung sowie eine nett gestaltete Lounge, in die man sich zurückziehen kann.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war nicht ganz mein Fall, allerdings war es mit Liebe zubereitet und recht günstig. Ich persönlich hatte unterschätzt, dass die Wagen sehr dünn sind und man wirklich alles von außen hört. Es gab zwar kostenlose Ohrenstöpsel, aber ich kann damit einfach nicht schlafen. Außerdem war das Bett schon recht kurz und ich bin nicht besonders groß - ich verstehe aber, dass es aufgrund der Wagengröße zum Teil einfach nicht anders geht.

Lovely! Would return.
Pros:

Everything is clean, neat, cute, and cozy! The staff gives a good explanation and are very friendly. The beds are comfortable and it gets pretty quiet at night. The showers and toilets are absolutely fine. The breakfast and snack corner are also nicely done :)

Fun concept, just not for solo female
Pros:

I liked the concept, beds were really comfortable, included towels, plus staff I talked to were friendly! There was also a small food and drink area where you could grab something and add it to your bill.

Cons:

The caravan I stayed in had a couple things broken and dirty, and it was uncomfortably hot inside (even though it was winter.) The metro was a short distance away, but walking from the station to the hotel in the dark was really not fun; street lamps that are broken, cars that are slowly driving by, drugs being dealt by the parking lot. As a female solo traveler this just made me really nervous and uncomfortable.

Brilliant stay - would definitely book again!
Pros:

Amazing value, facilities excellent, so easy to travel into the city centre and real attention to detail with the accommodation itself. So pleased we found this quirky little place!

Cons:

The main site was on the cold side for us and the blankets were quite thin, we were kicking ourselves we hadn’t packed an extra layer to sleep in. Appreciate it’s a warehouse shell and we visited late Feb.

Een geweldig, alternatief verblijf.
Pros:

Mijn kleindochter en ik (oma) waren aangenaam verrast. We wisten ongeveer waar we heengingen, maar het heeft onze verwachtingen overtroffen. Mijn kleindochter vond het fantastisch om een busje te overnachten en dat er een schommel was, en spellen. Mij viel op dat alles er heel verzorgd uitzag. De kleuren waren bv per logeerplekje perfect op elkaar afgestemd, echt met ook voor detail. Alles zat ook perfect in de verf, een leuk behangetje, mooie kleuren. Het enige nadeel vond ik de locatie op een soort van bedrijventerrein. Mijn kleindochter en ik liepen 's avonds na in de omgeving gegeten te hebben, samen terug naar Outdoor Inn. Het voelde toch wel veilig, maar of het dat altijd is, dat weet ik niet. Het is best een afstand naar Amsterdam, waar we 2 dagen doorbrachten. Verder: perfect: ook de douche/wc plek.

Cons:

Nou, dat zei ik al, de plek waar de locatie gelegen is. Ver van de stad, en het gevoel van: is het echt veilig in de omgeving?
