    Cool pod and space. Also the people staying there were friendly and respectful. I was anxious it would be a young party crowd for new years eve. It was a lovely group that respected quiet areas but still had a party.

    The pod was quite spacious; much bigger inside than my one-person backpacker tent. The location was beautiful and it was a very short walk to the trolley for downtown Amsterdam. Cafe/bar was nice, but the breakfast was cold. Staff were wonderful.
