This property is unique! We stayed in Loft B. The views are incredible with outside seating areas and perfect peace and quiet. Our last night was during an Amber Wind Warning for the Amsterdam area but apart from the wind noise we felt perfectly safe. The room is on 3 levels, the bottom has bathroom, kitchen and skateboard park! Helmets and boards are provided. I am 67 but I still had a go. This level has 2 very big circular windows and we spent most our time in looking out at the passing boats. There is spiral staircase to the middle level. We used this as our dressing room with a table and seating and room for our cases. The 2 upper floors have very strong safety netting and lots of electric sockets. There is a very safe ladder that leads you up to the bedroom. My partner has a fear of heights but she was perfectly fine going up and down. The bedroom has two large double beds with a shelf for your bits and pieces and a TV. We kept most our stuff on the middle floor as I said. My partner had "the best sleep of her life". That may have been due to having a bed to herself! We loved our stay and we will always remember the B.

Generally Pleasant.

Generally a pleasant stay. Paperwork on arrival stated restaurant is open till 22:00, however there is no restaurant on site but plenty in the vicinity. Real shame about the use of plastic cups though. In the bathroom and drinks served at the bar to take to our room. All single use plastic cups. Not very eco friendly.

Unique place to stay, close to city

Stayed here many times but this was the first since being renovated! Great place to stay, rooms are small but clean & have plenty of character. Staff friendly & the night time security guard is the best! Will definitely be back again and cannot recommend this place enough if you’re looking for somewhere close enough to the city without the price tag. Ferry from NDSM is free and runs every 20 mins to Centraal until 1:30am.

Review of the O room !!!!

A very unique and original room design! While a night or 2 was fine, it really wasn’t ideal for middle aged people. Very worn, and could use updating. It was clean and the bed comfortable. Very friendly staff. I would recommend changing rooms if possible , and trying the other letters also. The ferry next door made the daily commute really easy. Very quiet, with great views

Ok place to stay. In a quiet location with easy access to Amsterdam via the free ferries. Dangerously hot showers though, that should be really be replaced. Expensive for what it is really, but you're paying to stay in Amsterdam I suppose.
