The room was miserably hot and sticky. We hardly slept, having to lay on top of covers for 3 straight nights. Made at least 2 requests to address the AC temp, but nothing they did resulted in a cooler room. Other than that, we enjoyed the property and location. Really close to train station. Nice onsite bar.

10/10 hotel. Second time staying here. Rooms are spacious and stunning decor (altho some wear and tear in the rooms). The jet bath is incredible! The breakfast buffet is also great, lots of choices depending on what you fancy. I do think some of the food could be seasoned better but still good. The train station is a 5 minute walk from the hotel so easy connections to central Amsterdam and other places. Room service pizza is quick and delicious. All in all a fabulous stay and would recommend for couples looking for a romantic getaway and want some peace and quiet but still within distance to the sites!

Avoid to stay this hotel if you expected a 4 start
My experience at this hotel was extremely disappointing. If it were a 2 star hotel, I might have understood, but this establishment is far from deserving four stars. The hospitality, the quality of the staff—none of it met the standards one would expect from a 4star hotel. This experience reminded me that stars are not just about having facilities. The mineral water provided in the room could not be opened without a bottle opener, yet no opener was provided. When I inquired at the front desk, I was told that they often forget to place them in the rooms due to the high number of rooms, but at that moment, they had none available. As a result, I tried to open the bottle by other means and ended up injuring myself. The staff were unhelpful and lacked any motivation. They did not assist with our luggage, even though we were struggling with back pain. The prices were set high, but the service did not match the cost. Furthermore, the location is far from the central area, and while the proximity to the subway station is highlighted as a plus, the station leading to the city center was closed, forcing us to rely on taxis. Waiting for a taxi took a long time, making it inconvenient for both business and leisure. I chose this hotel because of the advertised sauna and spa, but found only one small, overcrowded sauna in operation. The so-called heated pool was outdoors and too cold to use. Here’s a piece of advice: Always read reviews starting with the negative ones.

A really disappointing stay at a hotel I’ve stayed at several times before and never had issues. Long queue to check in due to there not being enough staff. I informed reception my wife was allergic to feathers and they assured me the room contained no feathers. When we got to the room, two of the four pillows contained feathers as did the cushion on the armchair. We called reception to get them removed and replaced immediately but were just on hold for the minutes before someone hung up! Tried contacting reception via WhatsApp and they got back to us eventually. Someone removed the pillows/cushions and have us one strange pillow to replace them. We asked for another but were told there were no other pillows on the property which was bizarre. Nobody bothered to check on the welfare of my wife who had been exposed to feathers. Robe and slippers no longer provided - have to pay extra to rent those now! Went to the spa and two of the steam rooms weren’t working properly. On checkout the receptionist asked how my stay was to which I replied it was ‘OK’ but she didn’t probe to find out why it wasn’t excellent which seems quite a basic requirement. Overall extremely disappointing/dangerous and we won’t be staying here again.

I had a wonderful stay at this property and I would highly recommend it. It was clean, modern and all the staff were very helpful. This hotel is outside of the town centre so we took taxis everyday in just as an FYI I wouldn't let this put you off though it's a stunning hotel.

Hotel staff, location, and facilities are great. TLDR: Some things could've been better specially considering the price of the stay. I'd most likely come back to this hotel. Things to note prior to booking: Facilities lacking an ice machine. Had to go to the bar to get ice and they could not provide me a bucket of ice. Bar only open until midnight so I couldn't get ice from midnight to whenever they open. Requested more coffee pods at 5am as we had to be at the airport for 8am but there was no room service at that time. Slightly disappointing service hours for a 4-star hotel. The beds are very comfortable, bed holds heat well. I prefer sleeping when it's cold so this was not a plus for me. Just my preference, did not affect the rating of the place. Room thermostat resets once a day back to 21 Celsius. Very annoying when you're jetlagged and trying to sleep then it gets hot all of a sudden. FYI: Does not have NA-style electrical outlets. I thought maybe they'd have the combination-style receptacles due to their clientele. Did not affect my rating of the hotel.
