Sir Adam Hotel part of Sircle Collection

First time to stay at the Sir Adam (and to visit Amsterdam) so we didn't know what to expect. The Sir Adam was exceptional. The staff were extremely welcoming and informative. And the property is the most unique (and fun) property we've visited. Unique design and themes--fun decorations and unique touches. Our room had a turntable and albums to enjoy and a large collection of vinyl to choose from in the lobby. Fantastic beds--we had been traveling for almost 3 weeks and by far the Sir Adam has the most comfortable beds we found in Europe. Great food options on the property and a ferry to the main part of Amsterdam is literally right outside the door of the hotel. We had a great time and we would highly recommend the Sir Adam.

We stayed 4 nights at the Sir Adam - and I'd like to focus on many of the positives. We had a corner room, and it was worth it - the view of Amsterdam and the channel gave us a beautiful view for the extent of our stay. The room was small but the aesthetic was actually fantastic if you are the artistic type. If you're not into industrialism, retro music or artistic design - rent at a 'normal' hotel instead. The elevator literally had a lighted disco dance floor and running karaoke [with mics!] 24/7. The room had a working record player and a library of vinyl to choose from. My creative mind was working overtime the whole trip. On to some of the negatives. House cleaning was less than stellar on attention to detail. We had some issues that needed to be brought to their attention. However, the front desk was receptive to critical feedback. There were a few maintenance issues which I reported to the front desk. Overall, my stay was great - but there's definitely some work that can be done to bring it up to a 5-star stay. They definitely play to their base of who would stay there, though.

This hotel was generally a good find. The location was right next to the ferry, allowing me to stay three nights in Amsterdam for a more affordable price. The check in process was great with friendly staff. The hotel bar was also a fantastic spot. I give this review 3/5 stars for two reasons. First, my room was not fully cleaned upon arrival with dirty dishes in the room and some areas not wiped down. Another major inconvenience was the fire alarm going off at 3:00am. While this is not at the fault of the hotel, the way in which it was handled was less than satisfactory. No staff was present outside to inform us what was going on when me and other guests evacuated. Furthermore, no apology or acknowledgment of the inconvenience was acknowledged by the hotel at any point following the incident. Not my favorite hotel with the incidents I experienced, but would recommend if the price is desirable.
