Great place to stay. The area around is beautiful, in the middle of a big park. Lots of cafes and restaurants around. It’s a short ride on the tramway to central Amsterdam.
The property was perfect for 6 friends to visit Amsterdam. The price was excellent, and the accommodation was perfect for us, transport from the hotel to the main center was easy and cheap. The hotel was clean and the staff were very helpful. We had no issues whilst staying here.
It was the first time to stay in a Pod, which was a great experience! It was more comfortable than I expected and shared bathroom were clean. I highly recommend staying in Pod for solo travelers:)
Good facilities, awesome location at Oosterpark, and if you hVe/rent a bike, very convenient to get anywhere in the city! The mattress in my pod was a bit thin but sleep well every night.

Location is perfectly right outside the busy city Center and still super close and very easy to get around to wherever you would want to go! And oostpark is such a vibe!
Only one note, I have never in my life experienced worse mattresses.
