The idea behind the hotel is good, an eco friendly hotel in a new development only 20 minutes from the centre of Amsterdam.
However, there are so many minor niggles, plus one or two more serious problems. Whether it's the fact they don't provide slippers yet the floors are wooden and dirty, the fact there are only two lifts and one was broken for most of our stay or the touch panel controlled shower that doesn't respond to wet hands, they are all things that anyone who runs a hotel should know to avoid or mitigate.
The major problem though is the air conditioning. It's a great idea in principle, however it feels like it was implemented by someone fresh out of college with no real world experience of how to make things work for people. The biggest problem was you couldn't turn it off! Press the off button and the fan sounds like a jet engine spooling up. Have it on auto and there are only two fan settings, one too weak to maintain a temperature it seems to target precisely (rather than running to a tolerance band) and the other loud enough to wake you up when it kicks in.
This, plus the far too soft pillows that hotels seem to love left us short of sleep and too tired to properly enjoy our time there.
Not helped by the private function (unannounced) in the bar above our room which carried on until after midnight with loud music thumping out.
If they fixed these fairly minor issues it would be a great place to stay, but until then... avoid.
