Botel is worth the money but dont except much. Bathroom is small and the water is not absorded as it should when you take a shower. The bed is good, a lot of noise from around. The window is nice with a nice view also. 24/7 heat. They clean everyday but , not under the bed and many spots with dust, but its okay . they did not changed the bed sheets after a week. If you pay 380€ for 6 nights I think its the best option, cuz it is like 15min away from centraal (using the free ferry from NDSM to amsterdam centraal) NDSM rocks ;)

Before I book this hotel, I call them on a phone to ask and make sure one things which is very important to me. I asked to the reception if there is a microwave that I can ask for use. The answer was, there is a one for kitchen you can use. So I thought it was in public space. The reason why I booked this hotel, we need to heat up our meal. I stayed here for 2 weeks, he was always bad attitude when I asked to use the microwave. And he always say to me, I control here, you can heat it up only when I say ok. I couldn’t enjoy the meal.
