First off, it's esasy to get to. From Schiphol just get the train to Amsterdam and get off at Station Zuid. Its them a 2 minute walk if that to the hotel, which is in the WTC. The train fair was €3,10 one way whereas the cab was €35,00.

It's about a a 15/20 minute tram ride (line number 5 just outside the WTC door) to the Central Station and 10 minutes from the art galleries

The room feels spacious and the modern design has the wow factor. The sofa and the bed were really comfortable and had a great nights sleep. The shower was great but the bathroom 'pod' has neither a door nor a towell rack which isn't so great.

The staff were dead friendly and the self service kiosks were ok and there's a microwave.

it's particular special to stay. decoration is extremely trendy. what is not so good is the fact that there is no door between toilet and rest of the room! less than 10 minutes from town centre. in the weekend very cheep. recommended for a short stay

I get the concept. But there are way too many flaws.

Our room had no window! Apparently this is the case for about half the rooms here. And I cannot stress how claustrophoic this can be - and as you don't know what the weather's like (or indeed whether it's night or day) it's difficult knowing how to dress.

The cube has no doors on the toilet and shower areas so you'd better be pretty liberal if you're sharing. Also the shower did not drain completely.

No minibar I understand - but not even a glass or cup?

It's not really central enough for tourists (which is fair enough). And it took me several passes to find it tucked away in an office complex.

And it's not ever that cheap really. Don't bother.

Website - Great; I never thought booking a hotel room could be so easy. Very user-friendly, full of useful information, very clear and true about the hotel facilities, and the way the location is shown is easily apreensible; after seeing some of the prices in Amsterdam, relation price vs quality seems very, very good.

Location - for business purposes, it should be perfect; for me, it was a leisure trip and it was ok; taking the train, it took me a few minutes to go from the airport to the hotel, very easy; taking the tram from the hotel to the city centre takes takes around 30 mins, no problem, but the city centre is so nice, that I got curious if there's other good design / good price hotels nearer to the centre.

Services - fantastic! the common areas (that join self check-in, cafeteria, lobby, tv area, internet access point, and whatever else you can think of) look fantastic, with good, confortable design, a bit too dark in the evening but still excellent; breakfast looked fantastic, everything carefully placed; as expected, everything is automatic, but very easy to use; curious enough, since it's all self-service, the person in charge in every shift seems to have the time to give you personalized service, all the help you need and be a true public relations for the brand. Stijn was the person in charge that day and he had all sorts of good advices for me on interesting places to visit in Amsterdam.

Accommodation - this was the only thing I found a bit desappointing; of course, the design is very original and still practical, I didn't feel in a place as appealing as the common areas; I felt that something was lacking there, possibly less white, less lighting and more wood; also, I didn't fell in love with the theme painted in my wall, too dark.
