10/10 Excellent
"The hotel itself is amazing! They have a free shuttle from and to the airport so make sure to ask the staff about the schedule so you can save some dime for the uber. I was impressed to see the amenities of the hotel not to mention that even though it’s only 4 floors, they have an escalator inside and of course an elevator so that gives more convenience to the guests who are in a rush to go to their rooms. The staff are all lovely even during the buffet breakfast I told the guy I have a flight at 1pm and I asked if I can take some food with me that I can bring to the airport and he was very polite and helpful that he even offered to pack the food for me (which I politely declined) I wish I stayed in Amsterdam for few more days instead of just 1 night!!!! But I will DEFINITELY STAY HERE once I come back in Amsterdam!!!! Love the hotel, love the location, love the people!!!!!"

8/10 Good
"This hotel is definitely off the beaten path away from the main part of Amsterdam, nice and quiet residential area. Not a lot of options for restaurants in this area, but the metro is a short five minute walk that can take you into town. Beautiful property upscale, tech forward, and funky started off a disappointment, but ended on a high note. Room was hot when we first checked in, 75F, you do have access to the climate controls but that’s an illusion, the property is very eco friendly and they control the climate. We ended up asking for a fan to move the air, to cool it down and make it more comfortable. One of my pet peeves while traveling are properties not spending the money on a good pillows, asked housekeeping to bring us another set, which were brand new! We also had issues with the refrigerator but maintenance was able to fix it, so again a win! We enjoy the Ruby line of boutique hotels and recommend staying at this property if you don’t mind the travel into the city and want a quite stay."
