Qbic Hotel WTC Amsterdam

My recent stay at the Qbic Hotel in Amsterdam was mixed, characterized by exceptionally friendly staff but significantly below-par room quality and cleanliness.||The Only Real Positive: The Staff||If there is one area where this hotel truly shines, it is its personnel. Every member of staff I interacted with was very friendly and welcoming, which made the check-in and common area interactions pleasant. They are a real asset to the hotel.||Design and Atmosphere||The physical appearance of the hotel is generally underwhelming. While the lobby is adequate, the rest of the hotel—particularly the corridors—is functional but fails to offer any sense of welcome or warmth.||The Room: Major Issues with Cleanliness and Maintenance||The most important part of any hotel is the room, and unfortunately, this is where the Qbic falls short. While the room size itself was really large, the overall quality and maintenance were below average.||Cleanliness: The room was not clean at all and is in urgent need of refurbishment. I found noticeable dirty spots on the wall in the bathroom, indicating a severe lack of decent deep cleaning. The towels were also extremely worn, thin, and uncomfortable.||Shower Design Flaw: The shower created a significant issue: the bathroom would transform into a swimming pool every time I used it. The hotel did not provide a floor towel, which made this design flaw even more frustrating.||Noise/View: My room faced the highway. While a highway view wasn't a bother, the constant sound of cars rushing by was a major problem. In the end, I required earplugs to sleep comfortably, which is not what you expect from a decent hotel stay.||Note: I did not eat breakfast at the hotel, so I cannot comment on the food service.||Overall Conclusion||The Qbic Hotel Amsterdam has wonderful staff, but the core product—the rooms—is not currently fit for purpose and desperately requires refurbishment and professional deep cleaning. Based on the condition of the room and the noise issues, I cannot recommend this hotel until significant maintenance is performed.

Beautiful hotel, very well located with tram/metro/train right at the doorstep. Easy access to downtown Amsterdam in just 15 minutes. The hotel itself is stunning, rooms are clean, but the showers aren’t the best since there’s only a rain shower head and the floor tends to creak. Friendly staff, and you can rent bikes directly from the hotel, though the deposit is quite expensive. The neighborhood is quiet in the evenings.

My experience at this hotel was very disappointing from the moment I arrived. The corridor was poorly maintained, giving an immediate bad impression. When I entered my room, I discovered a blood stain visible through the white sheets — absolutely unacceptable. I had to change rooms, which made me seriously question the cleanliness and hygiene standards of the hotel.||||The breakfast service was also below expectations and reflected the overall poor quality of the establishment. We were two guests, both very unsatisfied. I will not return to this hotel and will make sure my colleagues and employees avoid it as well. I cannot recommend this place, even for one night.

I stayed for 3 nights last week, although there wasn’t anything too bad about the hotel or my room, I don’t think I’ll come back. A room without a window was not that nice, and the bathroom had a constant bad smell that I couldn’t get rid of. I had booked a room with breakfast but was told I hadn’t when I checked in. There isn’t much of a bar area to sit in during the evening and no restaurant for food so you need to go out for dinner. To be fair there are a few places near by so that wasn’t a big problem. I’ve stayed in other hotels which were cheaper and nicer, so next time I’d go for one of them.

This is a nice place to go if you want to get a good rest. We had the luck of having a room without windows (which was okay but I lowkey wanted to know this beforehand). The shower drain was quite blocked and the water from the sink was uncontrollable, it was either too hot or too cold. The price is a bit high for what you receive. The coffee and tea is free but they don’t have plastic / paper cups so you can get it to go.

Good location, but some areas need improvement. The room was very basic, with only the essentials, so I found the price a bit high. The air conditioning kept the room cold all the time, even after we reported it to reception. The staff were friendly, but not very helpful. Also, hardly any natural light came through the window, as there was another building very close next to it. On the positive side, the bed was comfortable.

When you used the bathroom, it smelled bad, as if it hadn’t been cleaned properly. The bed was uncomfortable, and so was the duvet. It was cold, but even though there was a thermostat, it was impossible to increase the temperature of the room.||The shower didn’t have a handheld showerhead, which made it very uncomfortable to shower without getting your hair wet, and there were no shower caps available to prevent that.||There was no telephone in the room.||The hotel entrance was very unusual, and the breakfast area was very small.

Great location right next to Amsterdam Zuid station. Room a little strange at first but once you got the feel of what the hotel is, it was rather nice. Superb bed. We were exhausted and just crashed for over 12 hours. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. Would go again.
