Q-Factory Hotel

Although some are friendly, the staff overall seem not to be on the same page. Certain things told to us by some staff members apparently weren’t relayed to bar/cafe staff and even other reception staff on later shifts as we were often met with confused looks when asking for something as simple as hot water in a coffee cup. There was no iron or hairdryer available for our room (both were only accessible by borrowing from reception) and no kettle at all. The only compensation for this was ‘complimentary cups of hot water’ which by the way we were denied at the bar on the last 3 nights of our 4 night stay. Oh, and the floor is concrete. Concrete! No carpet for comfort or at least wooden flooring for a nice decor finish. Just rough concrete. The cleanliness was good though, probably one of the only good things about it (I liked the overall design and lighting of the place too). The concept of a hotel for musicians/music lovers is a good idea but I feel they need to do more on the actual living side of things to become a good all rounder.

Cheap and cheerful, nice and clean but some funny smells for example in the shower and the corridor. Bathroom a bit strange with the red light but quickly got used to it. Could only seem to get 3 channels all in Dutch on the tv but possible that I wasn’t using it correctly! No extras for example no tea and coffee, kettle or toiletries (other than a dispenser in the shower and over the sink). Had to ask for a hair dryer however it was terrible and they were unable to give us another mug/cup for the room. It is close to the centre however there is no tram/metro that goes directly to centraal station, only a sprinter (which you have to pay separately for). Despite being a music venue the hotel is obviously sound proof because we never heard anything from our room. The cafe downstairs has a very limited menus but is reasonably priced and the staff are friendly.

The receptionist (Kim) was superb. She was helpful and brilliant at her job in every way When we had a problem with TV channels she went far and beyond her duties to try and sort it out. You have a gem there. Hotel location was good and either tram or train from Amsterdam Central to very near the hotel. The hotel was very clean and the nightlife was superb as in we watched a really good band for free. The whole atmosphere was superb. We would stay at the QFactory again and again if we have the chance.

Convenient location for working at science park. Good facilities in local area and train into central is 2 min walk away. Staff friendly and welcoming. Recommend to younger couples but maybe not to those with young families.

Stayed here in April 2018, very quirky hotel, literally a refurbished factory, the receptionist on arrival was very friendly. It’s situated just outside of city centre but there are plenty of trams. We walked back and it only took around 20 mins. Not far from it is a coffee shop well recommended to called smoke palace which was very welcoming and relaxing;) Breakfast at the q factory was a little bit of a let down as not a lot of hot food to choose from but the rest was good.
