staying at the lloyd hotel Amsterdam for a couple of days - it is the first ‘one to five star’ hotel of the world situated in a revamped 1920s building and apparently it is a showcase of dutch design - the rooms differ in size and design, but the high quality service is the same for everybody.
lloyd used to be a prison from 1940 to 1989 - the germans converted the building into a prison in 1941 and the name ‘lloyd hotel’ therefore would get a gruesome meaning during wartime - in 1964 the building was turned into a detention center for juveniles!
you can feel the prison like effect in the corridors but the design is so wicked like this closet with a red tea-cup logo on its door, apparently it's a free coffee and tea station for the second floor level - my room is very strange, 70's style and the bathroom has no door! - a different experience for those who want to try something new - if you ever visit amsterdam, i’d recommend you stay there, it is quite interesting to discover what kind of room you will actually get!
Nice concept! 1 to 5 stars hotel!!
Nice corridors.. just like a detention center :)
I actually stayed there once… in the nicer rooms of course ;-)
I had a swing in my room hanging from the ceiling. Don't ask
Loool … good for you! helps u forget..
