Sir Adam Hotel on Postcard

"What's the scoop with this place?Sir Adam is hidden inside the newly-refurbished A'DAM Toren. The white tower that dates back to the 1970s lies just across the IJ river from Centraal Station. It has recently found new life as a cool nightlife destination. Nice. What’s the crowd like?Creatives, artists, musicians. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.The industrial look embodied in the raw, concrete walls is peppered with colorful rock n' roll-themed details, like brown leather throw pillows, Gibson guitars adorning the walls, and artwork emblazoned with the recognizable faces of such musical icons as Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan. Plus, the floor-to-ceiling windows offer unparalleled views across the IJ river. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any amenities that impressed?Complimentary bottled water, 300 thread count linens, and a Crosley Cruiser record player all enhanced the stay. Room service and food: Worth it?Buzzy local chain The Butcher doubles as bar and burger joint in the hotel lobby. You can't go wrong with The Daddy ($14), topped with lettuce, tomato, bacon, BBQ sauce, grilled onion, and gooey melted Edam cheese. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whatever stuck with you.The gym has guided classes and in-house fitness instructors to help you recover from jet lag, and a vast music library of tracks accessible by Bluetooth. Bottom line: worth it, and why?Highly recommended for single travelers looking to connect with like-minded creatives while in Amsterdam." - Meredith Bethune

"We’d bet money that the team behind the SIR brand of hotels were big into imaginary friends as children. How else do you explain their propensity to design boutique hotels with fully formed human personalities? In this case, Sir Adam happens to be a music impresario. After a few too many years of the nomadic rock-star lifestyle, he’s looking to settle down — and he wants to invite some of his hippest friends to stay with him at his new place in Amsterdam." - Mark Fedeli

This was our first time staying at the Sir Adam in Amsterdam and we really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is cool & funky and the location to the free ferry that runs 24 hrs a day across to central Station was perfect! Our room was clean and well appointed with the furniture and fixtures. We would definitely stay there again when we return to Amsterdam

Hotel has a lovely feel and is very modern at the same time. Rooms are great and very comfortable. A tiny small with 2 big suitcases but not a major issue. Ferry is in front of the hotel and free and goes 24/7 so no issues there coming and going to central area which is just across the canal so super easy. Overall really good experience!

Excellent location, just a short 5min free boat ride from the central train station to Buiksloterweg then a few minute of walking from the pier. I loved the room’s decor and a highlight was the vinyl record player with free lending of vinyl discs to be played. I had one concern though. The staff at the breakfast restaurant was a bit indifferent to guests coming for breakfast. I was not introduced to the kitchen service throughout my stay by the staff there. It was only after I noticed a restaurant staff member proactively introducing the egg service to a nearby guest that I could ask other restaurant staff members about this. I wonder why there was a difference in service attitude. Staff members at reception were good though.

My son and his friend stayed on route to their school exchange program, their first time in Amsterdam. After a long journey, they were welcomed by the front desk with a couple Heinekens and a warm welcome. They were super impressed by the room design and amenities. The hotel's location was superb, an easy ferry ride to the core and Centraal station. All in all, they were super happy! Thank you Sir!

Super fun and quirky hotel! Great location. The rooms are SUPER tiny. They’re decorated well, but they’re really too small for two adults with a decent amount of luggage. The shower was its own room, as was the water closet. This made the room seem even smaller and I was super claustrophobic. I have traveled the world and have never paid attention to the size of a room. But this experience has made me change my ways. I wouldn’t have stayed here if I knew I’d be so smashed into a room.

Possibly one of the best hotels I've stayed at! The staff is super helpful and answered all questions quickly in advance. They accommodated requests in advance. We went here for my husbands birthday, as our first visit to Amsterdam, and we were pleasantly surprised about the modernity's and cleanliness. The elevator function and the different designs inside the elevator was a new and fun experience.|The breakfast is probably one of the best you can get at any hotel in the world! The food in Butcher restaurant is fantastic (but do reserve a table in advance to be sure to be seated when you wish). The order is done using a QR-code... very convenient!|The free of charge ferries, going every 5-6 minutes, will get you to the centrum in no time. I was looking for a hotel in central Amsterdam - and even if this hotel is located on the north side you can't be more central than this. |Great view from the room, quiet, clean, comfortable bed, great selection in the minibar - and the design is unique.

We absolutely loved our stay, and would highly recommend it to everyone. It’s just a free, 24/7 ferry ride away from all the tours/trains/trams, but enough to be peaceful and get a good night sleep. The theme was very trendy, but the entire place was kept impeccably clean. The room was comfortable and clean, the restaurant had good food and fantastic drinks, and the hotel staff was some of the best and most helpful that we have ever encountered. Isabelle was so helpful that we were comfortable touring the city with the help of a suggested app and their recommendations. Again, it was perfect! Thank you!

Overall very positive. Great location just 4 minutes from the ferry. Friendly staff. Funky atmosphere. Only issues were minor ones in the room, which were easily fixed. The shower is composed of large tiles, and so slippery. They provided a bathmat. The remote control needed batteries. If that's all that goes wrong in a stay, it's pretty good.
