Independent Report

general
This is a lovely deluxe property with an excellent location and comes highly recommended. It is a historical building and has some lovely original touches, eg the original lifts that were used which had no doors so you would simply step in them and step out. These are still working but encased behind glass. In fact ,the entire is like a museum and a momento of the past. jg/04/2008
lobby
The lobby, which is reached by a small staircase, is small with only a concierge desk, however, a main feature of the hotel is the original ceiling above the lobby area . There is a reception located off the lobby where guests are invited to sit down while they check in. Just behind the concierge desk is the bar.
exterior
The exterior of this building is very unique - it stands on a street corner and resembles the helm of a great ship. It has many carvings engraved all over as well as numerous gargoyles and does not resemble a hotel whatsoever.
restaurant
The restaurant is located on the upper ground floor and is very large. As this is a historical building, it is also a listed building and therefore much of the original decor still exists so this room, while large and spacious, also benefits from the original woodwork found throughout the property. At night the restaurant serves a predominantly fish menu and for breakfast, offers a very extensive buffet. The hotel also has a very popular bar which seves an extensive snack menu as well as numerous hot and cold drinks and cocktails
rooms
The superior bedrooms are very large and superbly decorated, and as this hotel has only recently opened, are in excellent condition. They are decorated in dark wood and blue and the wooden headboards even have waves engraved in the wood to commemorate the history of the builiding. They of course offer all the facilities one would expect from this standard of hotel. The bathrooms are also in excellent condition.
location
This hotel has an excellent location, opposite Central Station, and close to Chinatown, the red light district, and most of the major tourist attractions that Amsterdam has to offer
