For the Price its okay, We booked double bed, but we got bunk beds instead. There’s a free ferry to the central station from the hotel thats great

Great view, clean, good location. We have a small problem but they solved it right away. To be a port side facility is not smelly. Great option.

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.

Clean and functional. Good location next to the commuter ferry dropping you right in the middle of things. Good restaurant options in the harbour. (Breakfast onboard not great.) Would recommend.

Stayed in the letter L and it was very cool. Bed was very comfortable. Location was right next to the ferry.

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.
Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023

It was a fine experience; with the need for taking the ferry to get to downtown Amsterdam made for a nice nautical beginning and end of the day. The hotel is pleasant, but very short of amenities
Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022

8/10

Simple rooms with functioning facilities. Easy to get to and from the city centre. Good balance between quality and price, would definitely recommend this over some louse-infested rat nest in the centre even though you need to pay a bit more.

Decent but don’t stay on the bottom floor you can’t see anything
