A great weekend
Location surprising perfect for our needs as only a few steps away from a regular tram straight to Zuid. From there you can get anywhere. Or stay on and go straight into town. Room was nice. Shower temp went up and down which was a slight pain and the mattress had a slight roll into the centre but was acceptable, just. Wifi fantastic and continental breakfast more than ample. Not the cheapest but when Taylor Swift is in town, no where is.

Whilst the hotel is in a quiet neighborhood it is directly under the flight path for Schiphol airport. There is also a construction project opposite the hotel - but this appears quiet at weekends. The rooms are allegedly air conditioned - but ours never worked, so we had the window open. (We did report this issue.). The rooms themselves are a reasonable size and come with tea and coffee making facilities. The bathroom has a sink, toilet and shower. Breakfast is included - a simple buffet of tea, coffee, fruit juices, breakfast cereal, bread, cold meats and cheese; the hot selection limited to boiled eggs and hash browns. Reception staff are helpful and can book excursions and store luggage before checking in and after checking out. There is a parade of shops adjacent to the hotel and two supermarkets. The tram stop Van Boshuizenstraat is a couple of minutes walk from the hotel and is served by the 25 (goes to Amsterdam Zuid/South) and the 5 (goes to Amsterdam Zuid and the museum quarter). It's one stop from Zuid to the airport. I'd recommend getting a travelcard from Centraal or Schiphol stations. When arriving from Zuid you can exit the tram to the right and cross the road by the Albert Heijn supermarket - the hotel is located behind the supermarket.

We enjoyed our 3 night stay very much. The rooms are large enough, with ample room for luggage. The daily breakfast is very good. Proximity to the tram station and grocery stores are both very convenient options. Overall, a very pleasant stay and will definitely recommend.

My family had a pleasurable stay. First, it was one of the few hotels to offer a 3-bedroom room. The location between Schipol airport and the city center was very convenient for accessing, arriving, and leaving. There are plenty of grocery shops around the hotel. The staff was always prompt to help with any request. I want to personally thank Rachelle, Maks, Sergio, Sara and Alex for making our stay to adorable.

Every time I visit Amsterdam, I always like staying at this property for it location and the staff's attention to detail. They are always helpful and go iver and beyond to make tou feel qelcomed. Amsterdam Zuid is one stop from Schipol Airport and that is very convenient. The number 5 tram will take you straight to Leidseplein, which is home to many great pubs with outdoor seating and a cozy atmosphere. Hands down, this property has an A in my book!

Bed Bugs alerts. We were attacked by lots of bedbugs at this hotel. We were sent to another room that was dirty and later found more bed bugs in. In the end left the hotel but only got refunded for the nights that we didn't stay. By principle alone they should have refunded it all.
