Scenic Hotels in Amsterdam

"1. **Room:** A bit small, but perfectly adequate for one person. It had air conditioning, an electric kettle (which looked like blue and white porcelain), adjustable lighting, and more. The facilities were relatively new and well-maintained, with no hidden spots for dirt. If I indicated I didn't need my room cleaned by hanging the 'green' eco-friendly sign, they wouldn't clean it, and in return, I'd get a soft drink voucher for the bar. I used a voucher once to get a sparkling juice from the 2nd-floor bar. **Problem:** Replenishing essential supplies was inconsistent. The tissue box wasn't refilled when I checked in, with only a few tissues left. I mentioned it in the evening and again the next morning, but it wasn't until I went to the front desk a second time on the next evening that it was finally restocked. The same went for towels; I asked twice, and they still weren't changed a day later. Finally, on the third attempt at the front desk, they were replaced. This only happened when I dealt with Southeast Asian front desk staff; when I spoke to European staff, replacements arrived within 10 minutes. Towels and bathrobes also had to be requested; if you didn't ask, you wouldn't get them. The provided bedding, towels, and bathrobes were all quite old, not bright white, and not starched. 2. **Breakfast:** The food was plentiful, the service warm, and food items were refilled promptly, as were used dishes cleared away quickly. Again, the Southeast Asian staff weren't as enthusiastic and didn't greet me as readily, whereas the European staff were equally pleasant to everyone. The restaurant is on the 17th floor with great views. It's quite large, beautifully decorated, and has two serving stations, which is very convenient. There are also two large outdoor terraces perfect for enjoying the view or dining al fresco. On my check-out day, after breakfast, I bid farewell to the European staff, and they even gave me a special hotel lollipop, saying they hoped I'd visit again. 3. The second floor has a lovely, comfortable lounge area and a bar with a somewhat 'creative/cultural' aesthetic in its decor. 4. In spring, there's a direct bus to Keukenhof from the bus plaza below the hotel. You can buy round-trip tickets online. If you're staying at or near the hotel, you can take the bus directly, saving you a trip to Central Station. 5. **Transportation:** There are several train, metro, and bus options nearby. Given how punctual public transport is in the Netherlands, it's very easy to plan your sightseeing. All stations are within a few minutes' walk. 6. **Supermarket and Restaurants:** There's a Dirk supermarket a few minutes away. Near the hotel, there are various restaurants, including Western options like Italian, and Southeast Asian cuisine."

"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!"

"The location is perfect for visiting Amsterdam - a lovely trip 15 mins on the free ferry to Amsterdam central station. Also, plenty of cool bars and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. However, a minus point for Hilton, if you’re a member of Hilton Honors, don’t expect to get any points - Hilton doesn’t award them unless you book through them (likely at a higher price of course!)."

"Overall, it's pretty good. For this price, it's quite a budget-friendly option in Amsterdam. I think the most significant highlight of this hotel is its convenient transportation. Right outside the hotel, you'll find the starting point for buses and trams, and several train lines also converge here, giving you plenty of options for getting around. It's also very close to the city center; you can reach the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum in just a few tram stops."

"Transiting through Amsterdam Airport, getting to the hotel from the airport was very convenient – just take the train to Central Station. However, on the train, I encountered a very enthusiastic female thief, so everyone beware! The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the station. The front desk quickly handled check-in. The room was a bit small, but had decent facilities. The drain wasn't very clear, and the bed was small, but for a one-night stay, you can't expect too much. The next morning, I took a canal tour. Even though it was a brief visit, Amsterdam is definitely a city worth exploring."

"The hotel's location is excellent; I could walk to the museums, and there's a tram stop about 200 meters from the entrance. However, the room and bathroom were a bit small, and there wasn't much space on the desk for my belongings. There was also no mini-fridge. It's probably best suited for solo travelers who aren't too concerned about the accommodation's amenities."

"The room wasn't huge, but it was very clean. The view from the window was quite nice, and I could even watch planes landing while having a meal at the nearby McDonald's. The front desk service was excellent, and the breakfast was good too. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit, as it's super convenient for the airport."

"We decided to book this hotel as we had a long flight from Shanghai before a connecting flight to Ireland that would have arrived very late. It was a good choice. The hotel is perfect for this scenario: the rooms are nice, comfortable beds, nice shower etc and very restful-nicely lit. and surprisingly not very noisy despite being only a few kms from Schiphol. The staff had also prepared the sofa bed for us on arrival, which was a nice touch-one of us probably woudl have just slept on the sofa as a sofa otherwise. The staff were very nice and the breakfast was excellent. The only slight gripe would be the hallway looked liek it could have doen with a bit of hoovering, but honestly that was not really a big deal. There is also a nice bar in th elobby area plus a restaurant-we didnt; try the evenign meals on offer but as noted above the breakfast was excellent so I would imagine dinner woudl be ok too. There is a gym but we didn't try that so no idea if it's any good. The hotel was completed in I think 2014 or 2016 and it feels very modern and new. One other thing I thought was a bit off-you have to pay 8.50 per-person for the airport shuttle that takes you from the hotel to the airport (it's free from the airport to the hotel) This seems a bit petty to be honest. A taxi costs about 11 euro for the same journey so effectively the shuttle is almost the same price and if you are a group of two or more, the shuttle makes no sense. I would suggest the hotel considers either offering the service for free (they can just add a small amount to the already not expensive room rate) or just not have a service at all and everyone can take a taxi. Location wise, the hotel woudl have to be inside the terminal to be any closer to Schiphol-for this price you wonn't find anywhere better located. Overall an excellent hotel and I will most likely stay there again on the return from my next visit to China."

"I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Eden Hotel in Amsterdam, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The hotel was impeccably clean, which immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease. Its location is fantastic, nestled conveniently near key attractions, making it easy to explore the vibrant city. One of the highlights of my stay was the stunning view from my room, which overlooked the river. Waking up to the serene waters was truly a treat. Additionally, the staff at the hotel were exceptionally friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed during my visit."

"I had a great stay at the hotel with my friend during our trip to Amsterdam. The location is very convenient, especially being close to the airport, which made traveling easy. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Overall, the service and amenities were excellent, and we really enjoyed our experience. I would definitely recommend this hotel to other travelers visiting Amsterdam."
