I know this isn’t the Rosewood, but this feels like a rip-off on all accounts. Clogged shower and drain, you have to make your own bed in a private room, windows don’t open, there’s nothing provided besides soap, you have to rent towels, breakfast was the worst ever, bikes were in a rough shape (and that did not prevent the hotel from charging a fairly hefty price), and I can go on. Honestly, one of my WORST stays ever.

I had a lovely stay in a 'pod' room at Generator Amsterdam during my trip. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the Pod was clean and fairly comfortable- no less comfy than a bunk, but with a bit more privacy. Cafe had food and drinks at reasonable prices. While I wasn't here long enough to check out the club or bar, the vibes were good all around and I felt safe and comfortable staying the night here. An interesting and positive experience! I would definitely consider coming back if I'm traveling solo in the area again. S, 27, USA
