Reviewed Aug 18, 2026Die Art der Unterkunft (ein umgebauter Kran!) war für sich allein schon ein Highlight. Was uns aber besonders gefallen hat waren die vielen Details, die mit Liebe und Aufmerksamkeit gestaltete Inneneinrichtung und das hochwertige Design. Der Ausblick war fantastisch und man konnte jeden Abend den Sonnenuntergang über der Skyline von Amsterdam beobachten. Als wir da waren, war es sehr warm. Die Temperaturen in der Unterkunft und vor allem im oberen Schlafzimmer waren durch die Klimaanlage aber sehr angenehm.
Und ist nichts negatives aufgefallen.

Location wasn’t ideal for what we needed, other than that it was perfect. The price is a bit high.

Reviewed Apr 16, 2026Gute Lage, sehr sauber, tolle Aussicht, viel Raum, gute Ausstattung
Keine guten Parkmöglichkeiten, die vorhandenen sind extrem teuer für deutsche Verhältnisse. Leider gibt es keine gute Beschreibung zu den Parkmöglichkeiten. Ebenso gibt es keine Erklärungen zur Nutzung des ÖPNV. Schade ist, dass in der Beschreibung kein Hinweis auf drei übereinander liegende Container enthalten war. Ebenso ist der dritte Container (in dem ein zweites Schlafzimmer ist) nur über eine Außenleiter zu erreichen.

Top room was quite cold and we're unable to use the room. Baring in mind it was 0 degrees outside. Overall heating needs improving.

Reviewed Oct 9, 2025We turned up to the property and couldn’t get in. Waited 2 hours for security and they could not get in. Wasted so much time and couldn’t get it so had to cancel and find another hotel. Worst experience, do not risk booking this!!!!!
You could not access the property!!!!!

Reviewed Sep 6, 2025Es ist eine Wohnung im Kran, was könnte cooler sein! Sehr schöne ruhige Nachbarschaft. Wir sind sogar ein paar Mal zu Fuß ins Zentrum gegangen, aber man kann natürlich auch die Straßenbahn oder den Bus nehmen. Die Straßenbahn fährt direkt zum Museumsviertel. Auch sehr praktisch. Schöne Küche. Wir haben die meiste Zeit in der Wohnung gekocht. Geschäfte sind in der Nähe. Wir haben es geliebt!
Es gab ein paar Schwierigkeiten beim Öffnen und Schließen der Türen. Vielleicht haben wir etwas falsch gemacht.

Reviewed Aug 8, 2025Everything was amazing, beds were comfy, furniture was new. I had everything I needed. I truly recommend it to everyone.
I could barely open the door to get to the last floor. I thought it was impossible but I tried again in the morning and it worked. The sad thing was that because of that we were sleeping downstairs without such a nice view .

Reviewed Jun 27, 2023Incredible location and what an experience to stay in a crane! The view from the bedroom is extraordinary. Very well located for transport.
The air conditioning unit in the top bedroom wasn't working at the time and it would be great to have some more opening windows, but that may not be allowed by regulation.

Reviewed Oct 9, 2022Incredibile place for a unique experience! The setting itself is fantastic: sleeping from the top of a crane is unforgettable. Everything is perfect and very comfortable. We’ve loved the bath tube at the 2nd floor and the top bedroom, flying in the sky. Great to have two bikes available to hang out around Amsterdam.
