“The setting by Oosterpark provides a tranquil contrast to Amsterdam's bustle. I appreciate the building's history as a former orphanage, though some may find the execution of the four-star concept inconsistent. Still, the on-site restaurant and cultural events give this boutique hotel a unique appeal.”

mixed experience hotel stay

stained carpetslow drain
the room seemed a bit neglected i stayed in. i noticed some stains on the carpet i didn't cause. the shower drain was slow, so water pooled up quickly it seemed. also, finding someone at the front desk during off-peak hours proved surprisingly difficult i must say.

secure lockersgreen parkbike rental
The hotel features individual luggage storage lockers. These provided great security after checkout. The location next to a beautiful green park is AMAZING!!! Tram access to the city center took less than five minutes. I found a bike rental service available directly from the hotel.
The corridors was to need vacuuming, i noticed a few scuff marks on the walls.
