It was an "interesting" experience, especially sleeping inside an old Tram. But it was comfortable and bed was big. They do need to update the curtains. Bathroom was clean. Staff was hepfull and friendly. Location is nearby local transportation.

Watch the tramcar please
The Hotel not hotel is a very unique experience for stays in a great neighborhood in Amsterdam. The hosts were all very nice and helpful. They even offer an option to check in early for a small fee which was great because I was very jetlagged after I landed. I stayed in the Tramcar and the room was so charming. It stayed pretty cool too. Just be mindful of the curtains as it's all windows. It is more like a hostel as the tramcar does not have a bathroom but it's situated right next to the main shared bathroom that is well kept. Would definitely stay here again for a short visit!

My stay was to last 2 days, but on the 2nd night I caught many bedbugs in my bed and immediately left the hotel and arranged a new hotel. There is definitely an insect problem. If you want to sleep with insects, you can stay here.

Felt Unsafe
Woken up late at night by a male employee opening our door and entering our room, doesn't make for a restful nights sleep. No explanation, no apology. Otherwise, an interesting place to stay.

15 Mar 2025
Everything was decent and the staff were super friendly and effective. The only bad thing which destroyed my whole experience was the soundproofing and location. The place sits right next to a pub or a casino of sort and that thing blasted music 11:00pm - 4:00am nonstop! And it vibrated my entire sleepingpod - you could imagine at this point that i got zero sleeping hour. Unless they do something about it - i find it hard to recommend city trip at this location

Is a rather funky and novel place to stay, but don't expect 4-star service or facilities. Definitely a good deal for the price, though.

Cool hotel
Really cool hotel. Staff were amazing. Bathroom seemed inadequate for the number of guests, there were only two toilet stalls. But definitely a unique experience.
