Ibis Budget Amsterdam Airport

The hotel environment is quite good, though it's indeed very small. But considering it's in the Netherlands, it's still decent.

The hotel's location is super convenient, just about a 10-minute bus ride to the airport. We booked the Budget Ibis because the regular Ibis was fully booked. The decor and facilities are a bit more basic, but overall, it was a decent experience. It's really good value for money if you're looking for a hotel for an early flight. Plus, the croissants and mini Dutch pancakes at breakfast were absolutely delicious!

I just needed a quick place to stay overnight for a transit flight, but heavy rain in Barcelona caused a 3-hour delay. By the time I arrived, I had missed the last shuttle bus. Fine, that’s on me—so I took a taxi for €35. But as soon as I arrived, the hotel reeked💩. My kid opened the bathroom door and said it hadn't been cleaned—it hit us with a sickening stench of urine. The bathroom had no ventilation and no floor drain, just a standalone toilet, and the foul smell was absolutely unbearable. It was disgusting! I tried flushing the toilet using paper cups filled with water, but with no drain, the water just pooled all over the floor, making it both damp and foul-smelling! We were already exhausted after being delayed until 2:00 AM, and this hotel made it impossible to sleep because of the sheer stench. How can a place like this even exist? It seems like a design flaw too, because the hallway stank just as bad. Anyone who stays here is an *****. Absolutely DO NOT stay here. It's actually very easy to get from the airport to the city center by bus, train, or metro. If you have an early morning flight, there are plenty of other hotels around the airport. Don’t be misled by the "ibis" brand name—there are several branches around. Many hotels offer free shuttles, so DO NOT choose this one, DO NOT choose this one, DO NOT choose this one! That’s the bottom line!
