The staff are lovely, the hotel is clean and tidy, the rooms are spacious and well-equipped. It takes around 10-15mins of walking to get to the tram stops nearby so it’s convenient enough to get into centraal and other locations. We did have a small issue with our allocated room’s shower, but staff were incredibly kind and quick to get it sorted, so we switched to another room and stayed there for the entire break with no issues. We only looked at the menu at the bar downstairs but it seemed quite small both drink & food-wise, however there are plenty of other options nearby. If visiting Amsterdam, I would strongly urge using this hotel for your stay!

We loved the area that this property was in and if you get a room with a view its the most beautiful view ever! Very close to local transport into central amsterdam and also close to shops for groceries etc. We will be back.

Nice hotel with friendly helpful staff. Only downside I was there with a fiend and requested a twin room but we were given a double. Also hotel quite a bit out of the city centre but on plus side easily accessible by tram otherwise a 45 minute walk approx.

Check in and attitude of staff less than satisfactory. Was there at 14:30 and got told to wait another half and got cos my room was not ready yet. At 15:00 I went back. Cos the room wasn’t what I neue I asked for a change and was given a new room…but had to wait again she said at the reception. This time it took them one whole hour to prepare the room. I asked them twice if they could tell the cleaning personal to prioritize cleaning my room and I was told….. you are the one who wanted to change rooms…the cleaning people habe their order of doing the rooms and will do yours when it is its turn….. unbelievable!

Staff were very friendly and accommodating to us during our stay, The rooms were clean and spacious with sound proofing also. The boardwalk along the canal outside the hotel was nice to walk on also the view from our rooms was of the canal which was lovely to watch at night! To get to centraal is a ten minute walk to the tram which was very reasonable! We hope to stay again on our next stay to Amsterdam We thank you for your hospitality!!

Overall the hotel was pretty good. It was very clean and the staff were quite nice. The building is beautiful and the common areas are very well maintained. The bathroom was very good and the interior design was also calm and modern. The view from the window is nice and peaceful, as it’s overlooking the ports. Some things to think about before booking from our experience: in the room itself, a lightbulb was broken and the remote didn’t really work properly. The water changes temperature randomly at times(it’s not too bad though), you can hear other people if they are in close enough rooms and there’s no kettle for coffee/tea in the room. It’s quite easy to get to the Centraal station as it’s about a 5/10 min walk and one bus that takes you straight there but there is nothing around the hotel itself. Overall I enjoyed the stay at this hotel but my partner was not very thrilled about it, so I suppose it depends on the expectations.

Our Stay in The Niu Fender
Pleasant stay in the Niu fender. Comfy beds, nice food in bar. Lightbulb in our lamp wasn't working on arrival but this was replaced the same day. The room we stayed in was a little dark, would have preferred more lighting. Was disappointed there were no hot drink making facilities in the room, no water and no mini toiletries. The hotel itself is about a 10 min walk to the nearest bus stop which takes you into the centre of Amsterdam in a bout 10 mins. Very clean room and bathroom. Overall it was okay.

We had a lovely time during our stay. The room was clean, the hotel was quiet and the beds were comfortable. It was a very easy journey to get into the city centre every day and super convenient. The only downsides were that we couldn't get either the smart TV or the in room Bluetooth speakers to work which was a shame. Everything else was fab.

Liked the modern feel and decoration. Loved the comfy bed. Was a little unclear where to go when first arriving, but much easier to see the right place in the dark when signs were lit up. Tea/coffee facilities in the room would be a great addition.

We had a lovely three night stay at the hotel (Thursday through to Sunday). The staff were all incredibly helpful and pleasant, from the front of house to the bar. Our room was a really good size, with floor to ceiling windows, and great views of the dock. The hotel didn't appear to be that busy when we stayed, so there was no problem finding a seat in the bar area. But I would imagine if it was busier the space might be a little on the small side for the potential number of guests. We didn't try any of the food, so can't vouch for that. But there are well-stocked fridges (including wine and beer) for out of hours purchases. It's about a 10 minute walk to the nearest tram stop, and 30 the nearest train station (Muiderpoort), so factor that in to your plans. Javastraat and Javaplein are about a 25 minute walk away, and have lots of bars and restaurants. (Bar Basquiat would be my pick for breakfast and lunch, with Restaurant Wilde Zwijnen if you wanted to treat yourself to a great evening meal). We would definitely return here.

The hotel was amazing and very comfortable at a quiet area in the east side of Amsterdam. Would definitely recommend for people looking to stay a little bit out of the city.

Liked : Property of very nice, modern and clean. Disliked : Issue checking in, the Biggest one being - asking for $$$ when I had prepaid for my 3 nights stay, to which I showed them my paid receipt from Expedia. Funny enough, one of the Front desk personnel remembers processing the payment but don’t know why I’m being ask to pay. Truthfully, the front desk personnel in the morning (3 ladies) weren’t so friendly. As a master of fact, the only friendly staff we encountered was the male manager and the gentleman who checked us out at 5am. Secondly , in other hotels in the Netherlands and Belgium, we were offered a prepared breakfast when we left early since we prepaid for our breakfast. But not at this place. Not even coffee when they have the machine next to the front desk. Lastly, was the location I didn’t account that it too out of the way.

the staff was very friendly and the hotel is was very clean and updated. The view from the room was amazing! Public transposition was limited but workable. One sate removed from cleanliness/facilities as the drain in the shower emitted a septic smell. A towel and the fan cleared out the smell so it was fine but noting it for the future

Hotel is nice and modern with an industrial design. Comfortable. It’s far away from any walkable grocery stores or casual dining spots. Staff is impersonal and didn’t care if you were there or not. Pricey and not a good value overall. Not recommended.

Overall, decent. The pros: Good location. Views were awesome. Free drinks if you forego room cleaning. The cons: Difficult to find. The signage on the building is way up high. Rooms are smaller than the pictures show. Bed was fine but not the best. Not enough hangers. Cramped for more than 1 person.

Decent hotel
Very nice hotel not too far from the city centre. We got a two day tram ticket and the nearest tram stop is a ten minute walk. Very comfy beds, nice and quiet. Shower didn’t work properly tbf and kept flooding the bathroom floor a tiny bit, but we were in the hotel for sleeping really so weren’t bothered.

Hotel was good, room was huge & very minimalist. For us, bed was far too soft. Breakfast was good. Location is about a 20 min bus ride on no. 22 from central station and about a 5 min walk to hotel. There are trams as well, but bus drops you closer to hotel.

Clean overall. Front staff seems to be always looking at their computer- seems to avoid eye contact. Only 1 room key given - staff says “ one is enough “. Thought standard is 2 keys per couple. One is used to power up the room lights / AC etc. 5-10 minute walk to tram station to get to city center. Surrounding seemed safe.
