Popular Amstelveen 4-star Hotels

So it was our first time in Amsterdam and only having recommendations for restaurants meant that we were unsure what/where to stay… so we let price ish be our guide. We opted for the Best Western in Amstelveen and the fact that it was a global hotel chain you can really go wrong… We had booked a package holiday minus the transfer from Airport to hotel. So from the airport we purchased 2x 3 day tourist travel cards and caught the next train to Amsterdam central station. Then we turned on Apple Maps and input the hotel address and set it to public transport. Tram 24, tram 5 then tram 25 heading towards Sacharovlaan station. From the station the hotel is situated next to a Volvo garage and other businesses and is about a 5 to 10 minute walk. The room was huge, the bed was bigger than our king size. There’s plenty of power points, a TV (which we couldn’t get working..?) air conditioning and heated floors in the bathroom. A Nespresso machine and pods were in the room and a hair dryer (that seemed to overheat and shutdown frequently). We booked B&B and it’s served until 10:30. It’s not the best variety for breakfast, obviously catering for a continental style. Personal preferences I would have liked the sausages to be less anaemic. Our room was on the 3rd floor and quite quiet as it was the opposite side to the businesses. They do take a €150 pre approved deposit on a credit card that they will take if there’s any issues with the room after you have checked out. Yes the hotel is approximately a 40 minute tram ride to the city centre but we didn’t mind travelling each time. One last thing to note is, you don’t have to go to Centraal Station from the airport to get to the hotel. Instead from the airport train station look for trains to Zuid, then catch the tram 25 to Sacharovlaan. Our 3 day tourist public transport pass ran out before our departure so we brought a 1 hour travel pass as hotel to Zuid to airport is about 40 minutes buuuuut that ticket wouldn’t allow us to enter the train station, so we had to buy some one way tickets from Zuid to airport. That worked 😃

Io e la mia ragazza abbiamo soggiornato in quest’aparthotel per il nostro soggiorno ad Amsterdam. Sebbene situato nella località di Amstelveen, questo hotel è in posizione strategica: è infatti ad una mezz’ora di mezzi sia dall’aeroporto sia dal centro di Amsterdam, trovandosi a 5 minuti a piedi dalla linea 5 e 25 dei tram ed a sole 4 fermate dall’interscambio di Amsterdam Zuid. I monolocali sono puliti e dotati di tutti i comfort. Unica pecca la mancanza di ciabattine monouso e forse di accappatoi (sono comunque presenti asciugamani). Il letto è comodo, ma i cuscini un po’ piccoli. In quanto aparthotel, le pulizie sono settimanali. Non abbiamo provato la colazione in struttura, ma il personale è sembrato molto disponibile. Lo consiglierei per un soggiorno ad Amsterdam.

I couldn't rate this hotel any higher. It's on the outskirts of town so lovely and quiet, the rooms are a good size and we didn't hear a peep from anybody else while we were in our room. We were allowed to drop off luggage early which was handy and then we came back about an hour early but were told our room was available so we could check in slightly earlier than the 3pm advised time. Check in was easy, and our room was on the 5th floor with the lifts just near reception. The room had a small kitchen which included a dishwasher, fridge, coffee maker, hob. Bathroom was a decent size and a nice walk in shower. We didn't eat here but we did come back for drinks before calling it a night on the Saturday and the bar was reasonably priced (it was cheaper compared to the city centre) and the staff on shift were extremely friendly. The hotel were happy to call us a taxi when we first arrived as we didn't know how far things would be, but we then stuck to Uber after that as it was a lot cheaper than the local taxi companies (same as the UK then!). Check out was equally as easy and again staff were pleasant and friendly. We will visit Amsterdam again next year, and we'll be more than happy to stay here again.

This hotel is about 5 minutes walk from the nearest subway station. There are no restaurants around the hotel, and the restaurants that come with the hotel are also very good. The room is really nice, it is very comfortable to live.

The service apartments is situated at Amstelveen district which is at the south of Amsterdam. You may reach from the airport or the city center easily with the public transport. The check in and out speed is efficient and the staff are friendly to help you with all matters. The rooms are big, clean, well equipped with all the things you need for a short and long stay with the family. Free Wi-Fi increases your satisfaction. You either cook in the room or use the facility in the hotel. The menu meets the needs. There is a small supermarket in the hotel for your urgent needs. The rooms are cleaned weekly and towels & garbage could be collected upon request daily. As the hotel is close to the shopping mall, you can make all your shopping easily. I suggest for all occasions.

The hotel is in Amstelveen which is around 30 mins out from Amsterdam, we found this to make us feel safer and allowed us to see more of the Netherlands. We used the GVB app and bought 4-day passes that gave us unlimited travel on all GVB buses, trams, metros, and trains. It took us around 45 minutes through walking and getting public transport to be in the centre of Amsterdam. There are quicker ways but we used the app to identify GVB transport only as to get the best use from our travel pass and to not endure further costs. One of the best hotels we have stayed in, when we arrived at 10am we were informed by the receptionist that our room had been upgraded to the 'Junior Art Suite' instead of the standard room we had initially booked and that it was ready for us to go to. We were expecting to drop off our bags and come back later but the staff at reception informed us the room was ready and we were allowed to go up. When we arrived in our room we found it to be spacious, clean and tasteful. The room is equipped with towels, bath mat, extra pillows, complimentary toiletries, air conditioning, a safe, a mini fridge and tea and coffee making facilities (a nespresso machine and pods!). The bed was large and very comfortable, we slept really well whilst staying here. The shower was lovely and warm and had really good pressure, as well as the bath. We were informed of the timings for breakfast (7-10 Mon - Sat and 7-11 on Sundays) on the first day of our arrival. At breakfast we were able to choose from a variety of different breakfast items and as much as we wanted. Breakfast included, fruit, deli meats and cheeses, cereal (incl. granola), salad items, cooked eggs, cooked bacon, coffee, tea, fruit juice and water. We felt well replenished when having breakfast and is definitely worth the expense. On the whole, our stay at Grand Hotel Amstelveen was amazing and we will highly recommend to anyone thinking about staying in the area of Amsterdam!

We chose to stay at this hotel because it was walking distance to the family that we were visiting. That’s the last good thing I can say about the Amsterdam Forest Hotel. I booked a deluxe twin room. The room that we were given was nothing like the room shown in photos of the hotel’s website. It was tiny, hardly big enough for 2 people. The bathroom was the smallest I have ever seen in a hotel. No mirror in the room. One very small window overlooking the parking lot. No TV remote in the room. The phone in the room that you would use to contact reception wasn’t working. They charge for parking. They charge for breakfast. The halls are dark, almost scary. The halls are so narrow that if you encounter the housekeeping cart, you’ll have to scoot sidewise to get past it. The mattresses were about 2 inches thick, on top of a bigger mattress. On the plus side, they did 2 loads of laundry for us for a bargain price of 7.50 euros.

Bijou little hotel on outskirts of Amsterdam, which is easily reached by public transport. We understood our budget, and set our expectations accordingly, but we are extremely pleased by the welcome from all the staff were have met here. Although not lavish, the facilities are impeccably clean, and our room (”Carel Appel”) is compact but nicely laid out. The ”Continental breakfast” is probably what one would expect, but the staff are charming and attentive - their service is much appreciated. A special mention must be made of the evening meals prepared in the restaurant by ”Roy” (Leroy); we have feasted on the peanut chicken and house-prepared burger with No. 19 dressings, which were very appetising. And this evening, we have delighted in his ”slow-braised calf”, with braised vegetables and ”long-and-low baked jacket potatoes”. No-one would consider us restaurant critics, but we know what we like - and we LOVED this! Thank you very much Roy. So if you are anywhere nearby between 6.30pm and 9.00pm, pop in for a quick drink before sampling what main courses this Chef can offer. We hope you will enjoy your meals as much as we did.

This was our first stay at this location, but it certainly won't be our last. We had a bit of a panic during the day about arrival times as trains were horribly delayed, however the reception team were kind and reassuring throughout. The hotel is located next to a tram stop (take Metro to Zuid and then tram 5 to Kronenburg) for easy access to the city centre and the room was clean and comfortable. We didn't have breakfast, and there is no bar or restaurant at this hotel, however a range of drinks and snacks are available at reception and it is possible to order in food. Reception staff were also most helpful with printing off our travel documents for the next day.
