Q-FACTORY HOTEL, Amsterdam

The hotel sits within a pedestrian plaza surrounded by shops and restaurants, with Muiderpoort train station just 5 minutes on foot. From there, trains reach Amsterdam Centraal in 5 minutes and Schiphol in roughly 10-15 minutes. Tram stops nearby provide a 10-15 minute ride to the city centre, and walking takes about 40 minutes. The area feels lively but neighbourhood-like, with many cafes and supermarkets within a 3-minute walk. For drivers, the nearest parking garage (Q-park Oostpoort) requires advance booking to get the hotel discount.

The hotel provides a range of room types, including double, twin, triple, and balcony rooms. All include a private bathroom with a shower (some with a bath), a wardrobe, a safe deposit box, and heating. Balcony rooms feature a shared outdoor space that opens off the room but is accessible from other rooms as well. The design is minimalist and industrial with concrete floors and basic furnishings. Some rooms have air conditioning, while others rely on a fan and open windows - ventilation can be an issue in warmer months. Rooms vary in size; some are compact, and the triple room is more spacious with a seating area and sofa. The twin room has two single beds, and some double rooms have a large double or two single beds pushed together. Noise insulation is limited in parts of the building; rooms away from event spaces and higher floors tend to be quieter. Each room includes a mini-fridge; hairdryers are available from reception with a deposit.

The on-site Q Cafe is open daily from 08:00 to 00:00, serving a breakfast buffet (€12.50 per person, or €10 if pre-booked) with continental options. For other meals, the cafe offers a menu of European dishes, including vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free items, plus a kids' menu. Wine and champagne are available. Breakfast runs from 07:00 to 11:00. The cafe has a family-friendly and modern ambience, and operates as a bar and lounge area in the evenings.
