Categories

Cleanliness
7.8
Mixed: some rooms described as clean and well maintained, but multiple complaints about carpet odor on arrival, limited housekeeping (room cleaned only twice), missing toothbrush and delayed small requests.
Service
8.2
Mixed service: several positive notes (friendly staff, helpful with extra pillows, welcome drink) but notable negatives — staff refused a room-view change, slow/few responses to requests, aggressive security behavior reported and occasional minibar/billing errors.
Location
9.4
Very strong: excellent riverside location with free frequent ferry service, easy access from train station and great city views; breakfast views and proximity to local attractions praised.
Room Quality
9
Generally very good: rooms are quirky and cleverly designed with comfortable bedding and large showers, but many are compact in size and layout (e.g., sinks outside bathroom) which some guests found impractical.
Amenities
8.9
Good amenities: free ferry, secure lifts (key access), welcome drink on arrival and convenient facilities; some limits noted (viewing tower requires separate payment, restaurant is separate and gets busy).
Value for Money
7.6
Below target: perceived as pricey for the city; small rooms and extra charges (viewing tower, busy external restaurant) reduce perceived value, though some guests felt the experience justified the cost.
Food and Beverage
8.6
Solid but mixed: breakfast frequently praised (impressive rotating-restaurant breakfast) and welcome beer appreciated, though breakfast service can be very busy and one comment noted breakfast as a bit weak/mild.
Overall Experience
9.3
Overall positive: many guests report a comfortable, enjoyable stay and say they'd return, citing views, quirky design and comforts; however, operational/service hiccups during busy events slightly detract from the experience.

Toller Ort um in Amsterdam anzukommen und die einmalige Stadt auf sich wirken zu lassen.
Pros:

Ausblick! Toller Einrichtungsstil - „Gimme Shelter“. Mit der Fähre in die Stadt und in‘s Gewusel. Perfekt zum erholen und entspannen.

Cons:

Raumaufteilung etwas unvorteilhaft, Bad bzw. Spiegel/Waschbecken zu „nah“ am Bett, zu wenig Privatsphäre. Lichtschalter für Gang/grosse Lampe funktioniert nur zusammen und der eine Schalter ist hinter dem Kasten, etwas schwierig diesen zu finden, insbesondere wenn man am Abend anreist. Schade, dass dem Hotel keine eigenen Parkplätze, trotz Angebot im gleichen Haus, vergünstigt für Hotelgäste zur Verfügung stehen.

Proposal to improve service and attitudes to people
Pros:

Расположите

Cons:

Staff and attitude, I asked the staff to change my room with a different view as I ordered, they refused, I asked to fix the blinds on the first day and they fixed it at 3 because I slept during most of the day, it was very uncomfortable for me, the loft security behaves too aggressively with the residents, thinking that I came to the party and not to the hotel, the water was brought to the room only once, although I asked constantly, The room was cleaned only twice during our entire stay. I understand that housekeeping has limited working hours, but given that this was during ADE—where everyone parties at night and sleeps during the day—surely there could have been a way to address this, even if just by swapping out towels. Also, there was no toothbrush in the room, so I had to go find one myself.

إقامة جميلة وهادئة مع غرفة أنيقة وإطلالة رائعة، رغم بعض الملاحظات على رائحة السجاد وتوزيع الحمام.
Pros:

الغرفة جميلة وهادئة، ديكورها مميز وإطلالتها على المدينة رائعة. عزل الصوت ممتاز، والموقع يتيح لك الانتقال من أجواء العبّارة إلى صخب المدينة.

Cons:

مدخل الفندق غير تقليدي، إذ يجب المرور عبر المطعم في الطابق الارضي. عند وصولنا كانت هناك رائحة غير جيدة في السجاد. كما أن توزيع الحمام غير عملي؛ فالمرحاض منفصل عن مكان الاستحمام، ومغسلة اليدين داخل الغرفة. كما ان الماء انقطع عن الفندق لكذا ساعه في أحد أيام إقامتنا، لكن المشكلة عولجت. بعد المغادرة تم خصم خاطئ للميني بار، إلا أن الفندق أعاد المبلغ بعد تواصلي معهم.

Great comfortable stay
Pros:

The bedding was sooo comfy! I was 6 months pregnant and asked for extra pillows. They gave us 4 and I slept soo well. The lifts are secure and you have to tap your room key to use them and go to your floor. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Loved the shower. So big with fluffy towels. It was so easy to get the free ferry across the river which took 3-4 mins and runs 24/7

Cons:

Nothing
