The hype
Travelers are blown away by the views and the 'cool factor' of the design, but often find the room temperature controls tricky and the breakfast expensive.

Proč to lidé milují
- Architectural icon designed by OMA/Rem Koolhaas with floor-to-ceiling windows
- Next-level connectivity: 2 minutes to metro, 10 minutes to city center
- Rooftop Latin American restaurant 'Selva' offers arguably the best 360° views in Amsterdam
Rychlý přehled: A visually stunning, business-district skyscraper that feels like a futuristic resort, but you'll pay a premium for everything from breakfast to the massive city tax.
Recenzoval @riarockyexplores: My partner surprised me with a stay here and I'm obsessed! The 24/7 snack market saved my life at 3 AM, and the room aesthetics are total goals. Despite the windows needing a clean, the vibe is 10/10. Definitely recommend for a fun city break!

Reality check
The 'Instagram vs. Reality' gap is small visually, but the location is a sterile business park at night — you have to take the metro to find 'real' Amsterdam vibes.
- You are attending an event at the RAI Convention Center next door
- You love modern architecture and floor-to-ceiling windows
- You prefer a quiet, high-tech sleep environment over creaky canal houses
Čistota & Údržba

- Housekeeping: Daily and efficient. Reviews consistently praise the 'spotless' nature of the rooms.

Génius pokojů
Nejlepší volby
- Premium Room with View on floors 18-24 (North/North-West facing) for the iconic city skyline
- Junior Suite if you absolutely need a private Jacuzzi
Pokoje k vyhnutí
- Lower floors (below 10) facing the A10 highway — the view is just traffic and soundproofing works harder there
- Rooms near the elevators on weekend nights (party crowd)

“I would appreciate a room on a high floor (18+) facing North/North-West towards the city center. I am a light sleeper, so a room away from the elevators would be ideal.”

How much is parking?
Expensive. Expect to pay around €42 per day for the on-site garage.

Skip the hotel bar for one night and walk 10 minutes to 'Scheldestraat' for authentic local dining.
5 věcí, které byste měli vědět, než se vydáte
💡The elevators can be slow during peak convention hours (morning rush).
💡The 'open bathroom' concept in some rooms means less privacy than you might expect.
💡You are sleeping next to one of the busiest highways in the Netherlands (though you can't hear it, you see it).
💡The mini-bar is automated — moving items can trigger a charge.
💡The lobby can feel like a nightclub on Friday evenings.
