 I did not expect the room to be in such a layout Privacy was severely lacking as the modern layout consisting of an open bathroom with a separate tube for the shower and tube for the toilet were completely see through with only a sheer current providing a false sense of privacy Made for an interesting experience sharing a suite with a non spouse Also was woken up early morning to one of the most aggressive alarms I have ever heard to find out that it was set off due to the iPad which controls all elements of the room running out of battery 
 Extremely friendly staff Clever hotel design and branding with quirky and meaningful touches including travel quotes around the hotel Very comfortable bed and loved the free movie options in the rooms Enjoyed staying out of the downtown core of Amsterdam as it was an easy tram or walk into the city and was conveniently a 5 minute walk from the Amsterdam South train station Great buffet meals however would have liked a more affordable option for the times I wanted a smaller portion or a select part of the spread
