Expert Review: Sir Adam Hotel, part of Sircle Collection
Sir Adam Hotel, part of Sircle Collection, is celebrated as a "Michelin Key Selected property" in Amsterdam, offering a unique blend of music, design, and hospitality in the iconic A'DAM Tower.
Overall Rating & Sentiment
The general consensus for Sir Adam Hotel is overwhelmingly positive, with guests frequently describing it as "excellent," "trendy," and "stylish." Review platforms show high ratings, including 8.7 on Booking.com, 8.9 on Agoda, 4.5 out of 5 on Eurostar, and 8.6 out of 10 on HotelsCombined. Many guests express a strong desire to return, highlighting it as a "highly recommended" and "hip, contemporary, and music-focused boutique hotel."
Key Highlights
Guests consistently laud Sir Adam for its distinctive music theme, which permeates the hotel from the lobby to the rooms, featuring record players, a curated vinyl selection, and even Gibson guitars. The hotel's location in the A'DAM Tower provides "stunning panoramic views" of the IJ-river and the historic city center, a major draw for many. Its industrial-chic and modern design, characterized by exposed concrete, bespoke furniture, and bold art, is a significant highlight, creating a "warehouse-cool aesthetic." The free and frequent ferry service directly to Amsterdam Centraal Station is another frequently praised aspect, ensuring excellent accessibility. The helpful and friendly staff also contribute significantly to positive guest experiences.
Room Quality
The rooms at Sir Adam are consistently described as clean, comfortable, and exceptionally designed. They continue the hotel's music theme with unique touches like Crosley record players, a selection of vinyl, and Gibson guitars. The design features an industrial yet comfortable vibe, with exposed concrete walls softened by bright rugs, bespoke wood furniture, and artwork from local artists. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer "amazing panoramic views" of Amsterdam. Standard amenities include comfortable beds, rainfall showers, Illy espresso machines, kettles, flat-screen TVs, and minibars. Some rooms also feature "sweet little window seats" for enjoying the views. It's worth noting that the shower and toilet are often in separate rooms, which some guests found takes "some getting used to."
Dining Experience
The hotel's primary dining venue is The Butcher Social Club, which offers a "meaty affair" with a "plethora of burgers and steaks," alongside some vegetarian options and cocktails. It serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and features an outdoor terrace. While breakfast is generally noted as having a "very nice selection" or being "good," some guests have found the options to be "lacking" or "average" and "too expensive." Room service, including burgers from The Butcher, is available for guests.
Service & Staff
Sir Adam's staff are frequently praised for being "welcoming," "helpful," "polite," and "extremely friendly." Many guests highlight their "resourceful" and "organized" nature, particularly at reception, where they assist with taxis, restaurant recommendations, and tickets. The hospitality contributes significantly to the positive atmosphere of the hotel.
Location & Accessibility
The hotel boasts an "exceptional" location in the Amsterdam-Noord district, within the prominent A'DAM Tower, directly overlooking the IJ-river. A major highlight is its direct and free accessibility to Amsterdam Centraal Station via a 24/7 communal ferry, a quick "2-minute ferry ride." This makes exploring the city incredibly convenient. Amsterdam-Noord itself is described as a "vibrant and creative neighborhood" and a "cultural hub," with attractions like the EYE Film Museum right next door. The A'DAM Tower also houses the A'DAM Lookout observation deck, offering "unmissable views," and a "Swing Over The Edge" ride, with discounted access for hotel guests.
Value & Pricing
Guests often consider Sir Adam Hotel to offer "exceptional value" for its unique experience and amenities. While prices can vary based on dates and room types, typical rates have been observed around $288 per night, with some finding deals as low as $107. Booking during off-peak seasons (like December and January) or on specific days (Monday or Sunday) may yield lower rates. However, some guests felt the price was "overpriced" if their room did not offer city views.
Common Complaints
While largely positive, some recurring criticisms include noise levels, particularly from the basement nightclub (Shelter) or other venues in the A'DAM Tower, which some guests found "frankly absurd" for a hotel. Air conditioning issues, such as being too loud or not working effectively, have also been mentioned. A few guests reported "inconsistent service" or minor "cleanliness issues" in rooms. The breakfast, while generally well-regarded, was occasionally described as "lacking" or "too expensive." Some guests also noted an unexpected "large deposit" upon check-in and found the hotel's lobby layout unclear, occasionally being asked to move if not purchasing drinks.
