Poppies

We recently stayed at this hotel and had a generally positive experience, with a few things worth noting depending on your preferences. The property is located in an emerging area that initially feels a bit industrial, but we quickly felt that it was safe and conveniently situated. It's within easy walking distance to both the ferry (free) and metro, which made getting around easy. There were also several good restaurants nearby, which added to the overall convenience. One of the standout features was the staff - consistently friendly, welcoming and helpful. The all-day breakfast offering was a great touch. The hotel itself is clean, with high-tech check-in and room access that made the stay feel seamless and efficient. The room, however, was a bit unexpected. While the bathroom was quite spacious and well-designed, the bedroom area was noticeably COMPACT - just large enough to accommodate a queen-sized bed. That said, the room was thoughtfully laid out with good lighting and practical storage solutions, including under-bed space for luggage, which helped. Overall, this was a solid choice given that we were in Amsterdam during the popular Tulip Festival and most rooms had doubled in price. After we got over the 'initial shock' we were very happy with the choice.

This is a great budget pick for 1 person who doesn't need a lot of room because the room is very small. My only minor complaint was 1 night and 1 morning out of my 14 there was no hot water in the shower. The staff is very friendly and I slept well every night.

Comfy bed, extremely clean and minimal. The fresh orange juice is wonderful. Only a 25 minute walk to the ferry.

The room was very tiny no windows feels suffocated.

Tiny room with a massive shower. Very comfortable bed and the room was both modern and clean. Extremely small space (you climb onto the bed from the bottom only and there is enough space for the door tomorrow and you need to move around it to enter) so more recommended for solo travellers. Location not central but easy enough to get to central within 30min walking and using ferry.

Breakfast fresh and delicious. Room was clean. Double bed comfortable, but took up ENTIRE room! We had to jump to get onto bed and

Room was clean. It is a pod type of hotel with no windows. A bed and bathroom.

I was worried about my windowless room but it was surprisingly undepressing. Staff were great. Cafe was great, although they were about to change the food menu so i can’t vouch for it now. Location is pretty walkable, but it depends on what you want to be close to. I loved that there were bikes for rent right at the hotel.

Good

Room is okay. Small with no window but they make up for it with modern touches and clever lighting. However, anything longer than a 2 day stay starts to feel a bit prisony... Staff weren't that friendly either, food was often not available.

The room was very clean

The staff were great. The room was well considered with plenty of ways to maximise space in a pod room. The under bed drawers were great, as were the USB ports helpful. The bathroom was large & the rainhead shower brilliant. Some reviews noted dust - this presumably comes from the air control system. It is like being in an airplane, as such, and a little stiffling. We stayed 4 nights & got used to it. The temperature control was excellent though & easy to adjust. Poppies is located in a very industrial space, which has yet to be gentrified. It's a 15 min walk to NDSM wharf & STRAAT museum complex. Or an easy bus (€6!) to town takes about 30 min. 40 if you walk it. There are 2 different bus companies, that seem to have different pricing - just watch out if you get a travel pass that it's for the right one. We didn't cycle, but you could hire bikes from Poppies. The price was great, and the trade off was geography & space.

Clean room, friendly staff, clean towels, shampoo + body wash + hand soap provided, every morning cleaners were always around the hallway to get more toilet roll / amenities as needed. The only “downside” was the hotel is quite out the way from the centre, it’s about 30 minute walk and there’s a free boat that runs 24/7 to take you across the river - also there’s a lot of local bars / restaurants along the way so you can gain a more authentic vibe. If you have mobility issue though and get cabs an uber is like €10-40 to get to and from centre - depending on time but if you enjoy a walk it’s nice clean air etc. Also really comfy beds but I’ve never been in a room so small! Lovely hot powerful shower with plenty of room however! 10/10 in total would stay again

Great stay, so easy to get into the centre and the staff are super helpful! Would definitely come back.

Great staff!! Very cute spot to stay!

Room was tiny no where to stand either the bed or bathroom. No space to keep bags and no windows all entrapped in a cubicle won’t recommend. Location was very poor to move around the city. Staffs were not helpful

Room was cosy and really clean

Fantastic price, great simple room and amazing staff. Loved everything about it.

The hotel room was clean, and the lighting in the room was interesting. The hotel staff were very friendly. Check-in and check-out were very easy and quick.

Breakfast was tasty. Rooms where clean.
