Faralda

A stay at the Crane Hotel Faralda is truly unforgettable! Perched 50 meters above the ground, this boutique hotel offers an experience unlike any other. From the moment you step into one of the three unique suites—each with its own vibe—you’re met with panoramic views over the IJ River and Amsterdam that are simply breathtaking. The attention to detail, luxury furnishings, and the incredible atmosphere make every moment special. The experience was made even more memorable by Edwin, the owner, who greeted us with a warm welcome and opened a prosecco to kick off our stay. This level of personal touch and hospitality truly sets the Crane Hotel Faralda apart. Waking up to sunrise over the city and unwinding during golden hour is pure magic. Highly recommend this one-of-a-kind destination for anyone looking to make memories that will last a lifetime. Worth every moment!

Just think about this when booking a over thousand euros room in this gorgeous place: Right under this place there’s plenty of homeless people living in trailers a and washing their clothes by the water there. Inequality at its finest

From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with warm smiles and made me feel right at home. The lobby was beautifully decorated, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The room itself was spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The bathroom was spotless and stocked with high-quality toiletries. One thing that really stood out to me was the attention to detail. The hotel had a keen eye for design, with stylish furnishings and tasteful decor throughout. The breakfast buffet was a delight, offering a wide variety of delicious options to suit every palate. The hotel's location was also a major plus, as it was conveniently situated near popular attractions and had easy access to public transportation. The staff was always available to offer recommendations and assist with any queries I had. Overall, my stay at this hotel was nothing short of exceptional. I would highly recommend it. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Can I give this 7 stars?! Had THE BEST time in what has got to be one of the most unique hotels in the world. Attention to detail in all the decor was unreal. Quirky and beautiful. Views are stunning. Soaked in a gorgeous clawfoot tub and slept incredibly well afterward. It does sway in strong wind, but we weren’t bothered by it. Oh, and the service was AMAZING. The staff is incredibly quick to reply and very friendly and hospitable. I cannot recommend Faralda enough if you are into unique vibes.

This has taken some time for me to write because I have never had such a horrible experience. Some months ago, my wife and I decided to try this hotel stay for a night ($1200/night), just for the uniqueness of the experience. Big mistake. The elevators are tiny so good luck with getting your belongings up (expect multiple trips or going separately). The owner offers you a $90 breakfast but he doesn't even give it to you (what a ripoff). He came to check up on us, and when seeing my wife, he started acting weird, very creepy. We both felt uncomfortable by his presence. The layout and figurines around this crane hotel give off a creepy vibe in general. I really don't know how to put it but everything about this place and the owner of it is just off-putting. We were expecting a nice, yet unique, experience, and instead we got a high dosage of creepy owner and nightmares. I wish we read the other reviews posted some months ago--they also experienced the owner being a huge creep and malicious. Apparently he even had occupants arrested without cause and thrown in prison before they were let out because the owner lied. AVOID! DO NOT RECOMMEND!

What stunning location! Had an amazing private invite only party with friends here with really good vides only. ||Staff was really friendly and helpful during the night. ||The views are amazing, especially at night. ||Certainly coming back one day for another party or the hotel.

Enjoying a view over all of Amsterdam and beyond, this remarkable old crane makes for quite a surprising and quite stunning experience. It's not cheap, but we found it 100% worth it. It's hard to put this place into words. It's not a hotel really, but then again it is. I'd recommend to experience this for yourself - it's very unique. I've traveled around but havent seen a place like this ever before. I'd recommend if you're on the hunt for something very special.

One of the most beautiful hotels in Amsterdam. It is an experience of imagination. Imagine yourself at that height with your partner, with a glass of cold champagne and seeing Amsterdam, the amstel river, and the ships from above. The service is excellent and the management are friendly. Highly recommend 👌
