I liked the big windows, and the character of the building. The ceilings were delightful. The shower/bathroom area is made from clear glass and one way glass.. there is 0 privacy to shower or use the toilet. I dont love my husband's silhouette when hes using the toilet. Employees seemed a bit put out when asked for anything. Seems like they believe if they keep telling you its a very nice hotel, it will become one.

Water from the shower stall leaked into the bathroom and covered the floor making it inaccessible. We requested a room change and the second room was the same but not as bad. Appears to be a design problem.

Not my last time here
A beautiful hotel, the location is just remote enough from the Cemtruum craziness, facing a beautiful park. The room was comfortable and the overall hotel is stunning. The restaurant was very nice and fresh. The service could have been a little better, not so welcoming arrival but staff was overall courteous, the luggage self-serve lockers are amazing.

The first impression was not great as the guy on reception was unhelpful and unfriendly. We stayed 2 nights and the staff at the restaurant on the first night were excellent. Unfortunately, the staff at the restaurant on the second night were disinterested in serving us and we had great difficulty getting our meal. The room was spacious and well equipped. We found the hotel to be very expensive for what you get. We found the hotel very difficult to navigate at first and a map would have been very useful when we checked in. This is not your average chain hotel.

I booked the room in error whilst attending an event at the hotel, I was due to stay 16th April 2024, however, the hotel showed ZERO flexibility in offering to move the booking despite Expedia agreeing and trying to help, the offered no concession on booking another room on the same day so took my business elsewhere, I travel extensively around the world and this is the first time I have endured such poor service, my advice is do not stay here. Quite unbelievable in these times...

Very nice hotel adjacent to a quiet park, just not four star quality. Both service and the rooms just didn’t rise to the occasion. Front desk staff did not go out of their way to great staff, make eye contact, or even speak to guests unless prompted. Although our bed was very comfortable our room contained cheap scratchy towels, scratchy toilet paper, and was not clean (layers of dust and cobwebs). The rooms were also an example of form over function: steep staircase with no railing; shower head positioned too close to the wall to shower comfortably, loose sink faucet sprayed water on the coonter, swing mirror positioned too close to toilet to avoid hitting, and paper thin walls mean you can here whatever happens in the hallway. Overall the hotel is not a bad place to stay. We enjoyed the well appointed entry way, delicious dinner at the restaurant, and found the renovated catholic orphanage to be beautiful. The restaurant and cleaning staff were friendly. It just didn’t meet what we expected from a four star property and don’t believe it should be advertised as such.

The hotel is located in a park relatively far from the city center. The staff wasn't helpful at all and the experience is definitely not in line with the price of the rooms. I'd recommend you to stay somewhere else in Amsterdam. It's cheaper, nicer and closer to everything.

Best hotel in Amsterdam
I first stayed here about 30 years ago when it was a budget hotel. Now it's much more fancy but still full of charm. Staff are pleasant and helpful.
