On the plus side: 1) The cleaning crew were very nice. 2) The room was larger than expected. 3) The shower was excellent. On the negative: 1) Gaslighting -- I was told at 5 am that I had not ordered an airport taxi for that day. When the night clerk let it slip that my room number had ordered a cab, he had to admit he had given it to another client. 2) Poor Service and Limited Equipment -- It took an hour for the front desk to tell me there were no irons available. 3) Unprofessionalism -- The front desk staff are insufferable and uninterested in doing their basic jobs. In addition, they bad mouthed other clientele within my hearing.

BED BUGS
We booked this hotel for 7 nights based on their reviews, 4/5 rating, spent a lot per night only to find BED BUGS in our hotel bed and our blood smeared on the sheets. We took videos of the bugs, photos of the blood and went to show the receptionist and her eyes nearly popped out of her head. When she went to get the manager, he was "in the back," she came back solo saying he was busy. I'm sorry, there is nothing more important than BED BUGS in a hotel. We were in town for the Taylor Swift show so she told us all hotels were booked so she couldnt move us, the only option was downgrade our room to a double bed in the hotel, we booked a suite so we had more space for our luggage. We set up a meeting with the manager, named Phillip but he told Expedia his name was Alexander, for the next morning at 9am, we slept absolutely horribly, itching all over, and worrying we would have bugs in the new room as well. So by 9am we were so upset. When I met the manager, he was not phased by the bed bugs at all, he said its NORMAL and happens all the time and all they could do for us was comp us ONE night. So after some research, bed bugs are NOT NORMAL and the protocol is to high heat dry and wash all of your clothes and throw away luggage. Not only that, the hotel has a history of bed bugs over the last 2 years and the reviews show the hotel completely refunded the guests for the HUGE inconvenience. This hotel absolutely DOES NOT CARE if your room has BED BUGS.

Lovely boutique hotel
Conveniently located and easy 4 min walk from bus from Schipol airport. Nice breakfast and view of rooftop garden full of succulents. Friendly staff. Room is tiny and bathroom is tight to negotiate where to put a kit, etc. clean and quiet for our 1 night stay.
Rooftop succulent garden view off 5 floor room.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I booked a double room (small) in this hotel. Whilst I didn’t expect a massive room,the size and facilities in this room made it inhabitable for 2 people. We were positioned in the front of the hotel facing the main road, the noise from party goers was never ending. The front reception staff on checkin were very unfriendly and unhelpful- this did improve however towards the end of our 3 night stay. All in all I would definitely not recommend a stay in this hotel.

Liked: Room comfort
The room didn’t have any storage for clothes which made it difficult to keep the room tidy. Likewise with the shower- nowhere to put toiletries other than the floor. my boyfriend would sit in the lobby at night to do work while i slept and a staff member told him one night he can’t do so because he’d “disturb the guests.” his work consisted of him being silent with headphones on while on his computer. i liked the aesthetic of the hotel but it just felt too cramped
