First Impressions
Walking into i hotel in Amsterdam Noord feels refreshingly different from the typical tourist traps downtown. This three-star spot has this clean, minimalist vibe that actually works — no unnecessary frills, just solid basics done right. The lobby’s bright and airy, with floor-to-ceiling windows that let in tons of natural light, which honestly surprised me given how many Amsterdam hotels feel cramped and dark.
Location & Getting Around
You know what? Being in Noord is actually pretty brilliant once you figure it out. Sure, you’re across the water from the city center, but the free ferry ride takes like three minutes and runs constantly — I mean, it’s basically part of the Amsterdam experience at this point. Plus, you’re right near the EYE Film Museum and all those cool warehouse venues that locals actually hang out at. The Meeuwenlaan address puts you in this quiet residential area where you can actually sleep without drunk tourists stumbling around at 3 AM.
The Room Experience
The room I stayed in was compact but thoughtfully laid out — everything had its place without feeling cramped. The bed was genuinely comfortable (sometimes you never know with European hotels), and the bathroom was surprisingly spacious for Amsterdam standards. What I really appreciated was the decent Wi-Fi and proper blackout curtains — small things that make a huge difference when you’re trying to adjust to a new time zone.
Practical Amenities
There’s a simple restaurant on-site that serves decent breakfast and light meals throughout the day. Nothing fancy, but the coffee’s good and they know how to make a proper Dutch cheese sandwich. The staff is pretty helpful with local recommendations too — they actually know the neighborhood instead of just rattling off the usual tourist spots. Parking is available if you’re driving, which is rare and useful in this city where most hotels expect you to figure that out yourself.
Why Guests Love It
Look, i hotel won’t blow your mind, but it delivers exactly what it promises without any unpleasant surprises. The 7.5 rating makes sense — it’s above average because they focus on doing the fundamentals well rather than trying to be something they’re not. If you want to experience a slightly different side of Amsterdam without paying center-city prices, and you don’t mind a quick ferry ride to reach the canals and museums, this place actually works really well. It’s particularly good for travelers who prefer a quieter base but still want easy access to everything Amsterdam offers.

What Our Guests Say
Pleasant Location
What could be improved: The shower cabin door was missing, the hand soap had run out, the room cleanliness was poor, and the lamps didn’t work.
Superb Nice area, quiet and one stop away from the centre by metro
What could be improved: No window that could be opened in room which required air conditioning to be on constantly throughout the night to have fresh air
Superb The woman at the desk was awesome nice place short walk to free fery to Amsterdam centrall..
Fantastic staff and value for money! Very friendly staff. The receptionist was fantastic! She was sweet and very positive! The waiter at the breakfast was also very friendly! Room was good as well. Not so big, but comfortable and the airco was good.
What could be improved: Nothing, all good!
A great economical option in Amsterdam-Noord Amsterdam is an expensive place, so i hotel was a great find tucked away in Amsterdam-Noord, just a single Metro stop away. It was not restrictively tiny, with a loft bed over a small sitting room and bathroom. Reception is manned 24/7, so we were able to check in after midnight. Rooms were clean and well-designed, and the bed was comfortable.
What could be improved: Although the metro is a short walk away, current roadworks restrict pedestrian access along and crossibg the main roads, so you need to figure out a path winding around the neighborhood the first few times.
We had Aircon access the first two nights, but this was curtailed the next two because it was deemed too cold, despite the Aircon bring the only source of ventilation. Luckily we were able to persuade the front desk to let us have it back.
For the famous city - famous prices The staff working at the hotel were very polite and they exceeded our expectations. From helping us to the cheapest way to the city center to helping us move around the town, and the prompt coffee every morning haha
The rooms were clean and super comfortable. We even had access to the balcony, which I didn't expect to have. It was a nice surprise!
The toilet is fancy. We had everything we needed: rolls, glasses, soaps, shampoo, and shower gel. We didn't need to buy anything. It felt safe staying here, and no one bothered us.
What could be improved: The first bad thing to keep in mind is simply the price. We stayed four nights, which was 740 Euros. This is a horrendous price, and we traveled around the globe, but this was probably the highest-paid hotel we stayed in. Considering this is not a city centre or fancy suite, this was a basic standard room. Also, to get to the city center, you must walk for around 40 minutes and even take a boat to the other side.
The other important thing to keep in mind is that we were lucky with the other residents at the time. There was no soundproofing whatsoever, so every breath, step, and word was clearly heard from other rooms. As I said, we were lucky as all the noise got down around midnight, but if we had only one who didn't follow the rules, we would not have had a night of sleep.
Would I revisit this place? Sure.
Would I pay this price again, never!
Should you pay this price? Absolutely not.
Good Decent location, the staff are so lovely, room was a bit small but perfect for short stays, had WiFi, tv , hairdryer and towels
What could be improved: Very strong smell, pubic hair on the shower walls
Nice for a city break. Close enough walk to the ferry crossing just outside the central station. Plenty of space in the loft room.
What could be improved: The double bed was just 2 single beds pushed together.
Good Comfortable beds and it was good to have a tv in the room
What could be improved: The room was freezing. The air conditioner didn’t work properly, and it seemed like the filter hadn’t been cleaned in a while, which triggered my allergies the entire time I was there.
i would stay here again. i would just make sure there is no road works😂 Me and my partner stayed here for 3nights4days, we enjoyed the hotel however the walls are quite thin and we can hear what’s going on in the hallway, wasn’t a big problem though. unfortunately the time that we went there was road works all outside the building, couldn’t hear it but had to walk and extra 5 mins or so to the metro station as it completely blocked the road. Best part was the transport to the centre. it took around 10 mins to get where we wanted to go using the metro which isn’t a long walk to get to at all. the transport is also really cheap doing tap on tap off. There is also a shell station if you want snacks just down the corner, if you’re looking for somewhere cheap and cheerful i do recommend here. the biggest issue for us was the loft room which i requested however the stairs to go to the bed are extremely thing and steep and you have to be very careful walking up and down them as there’s not much foot space to climb up on. other than that the staff were friendly, it was very clean, bed was comfortable and the shower pressure was fantastic as well as the heat.
