Hotel Atlas Vondelpark in Amsterdam

I don’t know how to start… If you’re renovating a place. Shut it down for a while. It’s better.

I spent 700 euros for 4 days. In my mind, worth it, because of the location, quiet neighborhood and very close to the main museums. Until I couldn’t sleep at night at all. The entire night a noise right up my bedroom (that was in the basement), of rolling and banging sounds, not even too loud but definitely loud enough. The entire night, every single night. I had max 3 hour sleep every single night, and they were divided in 15/20 min each session. I couldn’t even properly enjoy the city cuz I was exhausted.

My room was in a VERY good condition (they’re clearly renovating, there was material literally on the middle of the hall for days) but the view of my window?? It was purely trash, rest of construction and the parking space of them.
Besides that, how on earth you’re gonna have a hotel in a city with proper cold weather and not have heated floors?? I literally could not step into the bathroom without feeling pain because of the excruciating cold. It felt like I was stepping outside.

Talking about bathroom, I arrived and had a VERY unpleasant surprise inside the toilet if u know what I mean.

Don’t know who had the brilliant idea of not having staff 24/7. Even hostels have reception 24/7. If you lose your key at night, you’re done cuz you can’t access the hotel without it after a certain time, and there’s no one to let you in. There’s a machine to check in and out (you do it, including your key, self service basically) that does not work 🗣️ and then you need to call a virtual receptionist to assist you but if you have a problem? Your problem, cuz well, they’re virtual and can’t do anything. So it’s basically useless, instead of spending money on that, put someone to do a night shift.

There’s already no Breakfast but not even a fridge in the room? Really?
If I ask to not be disturbed, they leave the new towels on the floor. Towels on the floor.

They clearly had a lobby before, which would give a hotel vibe to it, but they converted into more rooms and now it feels like you’re getting into a hostel for serious adults. The place also has no personality at-all.
I had to book this hotel cuz everywhere else I wanted was occupied. But I would never stay there again.
