“WORST EXPERIENCE”
We turned up to the property and couldn’t get in. Waited 2 hours for security and they could not get in. Wasted so much time and couldn’t get it so had to cancel and find another hotel. Worst experience, do not risk booking this!!!!!

“Unforgettable experience!”
Incredibile place for a unique experience! The setting itself is fantastic: sleeping from the top of a crane is unforgettable. Everything is perfect and very comfortable. We’ve loved the bath tube at the 2nd floor and the top bedroom, flying in the sky. Great to have two bikes available to hang out around Amsterdam.
