Ruby Emma Hotel Amsterdam by IHG

The location might seem a bit far out, but it's right next to the LRT station, making it even more convenient to get to the city center than staying in the city center itself. The downside is there aren't many dining options nearby, just a McDonald's across the street. The hotel facilities are extremely modern, perfect for younger guests. The elevators are super cool – you select your floor on an external digital screen, and it automatically assigns one to you. This is really convenient, but it took me a while to figure it out on my first stay. The underground parking is very high-tech, but the parking fee isn't cheap at 25 a night.

A very nice hotel. It's a bit far from the city center but transportation is very convenient, and there's a convenience store downstairs. The room is large, clean, and tidy. You can self-check-in and check-out, and there's even a Marshall speaker in the room.
