citizenM Amsterdam Amstel

Being a Marriott member actually I never heard of Citizen M but thought I'd give it a try. I actually stayed here for an entire week. The rooms were a bit smaller but had everything you need, minus a coffee maker. The hot showers made up for it. The bar however seemed open all day where you can get coffee, drinks, some food. There is a nice busy coffee shop right next door and a nice bar on the same block as well. Service was excellent - give Dani and Andrew a shout out. The lounge area was quite nice and equivalent of a coworking space so that saved me some money, although there are several coworking spaces nearby. The metro station is right next door Weesperplein, which will get you to Amsterdan Centraal in 10-15 minutes. Amsterdam overall is just super convenient. I would highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel offers excellent service. The location varies depending on where you are based, but you do have to walk a bit, but that's normal in Amsterdam. I ate at the hotel restaurant and it was delicious. The staff were very polite and helpful. The sink in the room was interesting, so I deducted a small point for that, but other than that, everything else was excellent, including cleanliness. Being able to fill a bottle of water at the hotel with both still and sparkling water is a great idea. I would stay there again.

Really fun hotel with smaller rooms but comfy and well appointed. Despite its size, the room makes up for in thoughtful details and controls. The staff were so helpful and friendly to get me a room that doesnt face the main street. The lobby has a very nice workspace with a mid century modern feel. 24/7 food offered. Only issue is the room sinks are a bit small and there are no cups in the room. Decent price and would recommend.

Enjoyed 3 nights at this stylish and fun hotel. Staff offer a warm welcome. Lounge area lovely to hang out in after a busy day in the city. Breakfast was lovely - great selection and fresh coffee made by cheerful staff. ||Perfectly placed for tramline and metro stop. Arrived very easily from the Eurostar. Would really recommend!

This was our second time staying at a citizenM and we stayed for a full week. The hotel was lovely, and the staff and manager were exceptional! From the moment we arrived, we felt more at ease here. The lobby / lounge area on the first floor is a huge plus, especially the sparkling water on tap and comfortable seating. This hotel was well located next to a metro stop and tram line, making it very easy to get around the city, but the street noise is impossible to hear from inside. The nearby cafe’s across the bridge are also top notch. We appreciated the staff’s attentiveness and care during our entire stay, and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone else staying in Amsterdam.

I stayed here for 3 nights in March 2025. First time in Amsterdam. I thought the location was great. Easily accessible via public transportation from the airport. Community was extremely walkable, felt safe even at night. We added breakfast to the room charge and it was decent. Fresh fruit and pastries. Barista on staff. Would stay here again.

An incredibly welcoming staff and lobby lounge/bar with space for most any need greets you upon entering the hotel. The rooms are European efficient space wise. Very clean and adequate. The location is perfect for most any touring in the city.

Close to transit. They offer free bikes for the day too so you don't have to worry about renting from elsewhere (unless you are really short bc they only have one size non adjustable seats for bikes) Drinks made by the hotel staff are delicious and they give complimentary nuts with it. All friendly staff. Inexpensive stay, you can pay in advanced to save money. best for solo travellers and couples that don't mind being too in each other's personal space (more than usual)

I've stayed at a few CitizenM and this is the nicest one I've been in so far. The location is fantastic. It's in the city center but just outside all the craziness. There are lots of restaurants and markets nearby. The lobby is great with lots of books and seating areas, and has a fantastic bar. The staff is super courteous (shoutout to the amazing BeBe at reception) and nice. Checking in is mostly automated, but there will usually be someone there standing by to help out. If you need someone, there's always someone around. I really enjoyed the buffet breakfast. It was delicious (they even have "poffertjes" Dutch mini pancakes!) and if you don't want to have the €19 buffet breakfast in the hotel, there's a fantastic and extremely popular bakery (Bakhuys) just out the front door to the left as you exit that serves a great breakfast as well. Also, just to the right as you exit, there's a full-service restaurant (Lempicka) that also serves food, so you have lots of choices close by in the neighborhood. The rooms here seem slightly larger than the other CitizenM hotels I've been in and the space is optimized to the fullest. There are drawers underneath the bed to hold luggage as well as a room safe, there's a mini fridge under the wash basin and the bathroom is separate and has a great rain shower. Everything is fully automated, and I really liked my room that was on the main street because I could see things go by, but you can also get a very quiet room in an inside courtyard. Almost everything in the room is controlled from the provided iPad tablet, or you can also download the CitizenM app on your phone and do it all from your phone! The mood lighting effects are really fun and you can control basically everything remotely, including the window blinds. You can even select the days you want housekeeping. It's usually a better deal to book directly through CitizenM and they have their own app (they give multiple day discounts and have a paid subscription discount booking service) but I also found really good deals with booking.com so make sure you check that out. Two things I really love about this hotel that I only discovered after a couple of days was that first of all, you can rent a bike for free all day long! Just ask them at the reception. The other thing I love is that on each floor, there is a clothes "ironing room ", which is a large room (featuring the consistently cool decoration of the hotel with illustrations on the walls and neat fixtures) with a powerful steam iron and an ironing board that you can use yourself. It even has clips to hang up clothes if you need to. So convenient and this is a really nice feature. I used the ironing room several times and I always had it completely to myself. The lobby almost feels like a sanctuary when you get back to the hotel after a busy day walking; it has lots of seating and nice books you can read. I just love this hotel. CitizenM was recently bought out by the Marriott corporation so also check online because there may be some new things going on! They provide large glass bottles downstairs, which you can refill with still or sparkling water at the bar for free. This is so nice.

Comfy bed. Cool room. Great atmosphere. Quiet. Tasty still and sparkling water (free) as much as you'd need. Friendly service. Good location. Would give 4.5 stars, rounding up to 5.

What a great way to start a vacation in Amsterdam. Contactless checkin was so easy. Rooms were so cool. Grab the iPad to lower and raise the blackout curtains, watch tv, add mood music to the room. You can even change the color of the lights in the bathroom. Lilac, teal or "red light district" red. You know you want to play with all the options. The XL king size bed was so comfy. Slip under the Egyptian cotton sheets to help fight off jet lag for a great nights rest. Thirsty? Grab a complimentary glass bottle filled with cold water. Hungry? Fresh fruit is available in the lobby. Love the juicy pears and the donut peaches. Location is so convenient. Close to the Amstel Hotel, the canals, shops, restaurants and museums. Metro is just down the street. LOVE the eclectic artwork scattered throughout the property. Would definitely stay at the CitizenM Amstel Hotel again. Wish that we would have stayed for more than one night.

I had a great experience here, and the hotel met my needs perfectly. Clean, ultra-modern, efficient, and conveniently located, it was just right. Excellent service and a good price? Sign me up. My favorite parts were the super-comfortable bed, the friendly staff, and the location (a stone's throw from a metro stop and just fifteen minutes on foot to the museum quarter). Bonuses included the blackout night blinds and the smart room features--climate and light control from an iPad? Sweet! They also have international outlets for your gizmos. I didn't take advantage of any of the out-of-room amenities, but the lounge area and bar both looked pretty swell, so would definitely check them out next time. Adding a quick note for my fellow Americans who are traveling here for the first time: the rooms are smaller than what you would see in North America. This isn't a complaint--it met my needs perfectly--just a suggestion that travelers who plan to spend a lot of time in their room or who will have more than 1 suitcase bear that in mind d when selecting a room.

Very nice boutique hotel nearly in Oost Amsterdam. Just past the Amstel. They claim it's in the "centrum" but not quite. It's still very nice and in a good area. Close to the Skinny Bridge and a good tram and metro station.

Only one day back from Amsterdam and I am already missing the incredibly comfy king sized bed and having my black out curtains open up along with my alarm each morning. This hotel was a pretty incredible choice and I couldn't recommend it enough. Everything you are going to love: -Gotta mention it again, the bed was so cozy and comfy. -The room was compact but designed really well that you still had everything you needed. It had storage space under the bed, enough closet space, a long shelf along the wall next to the bed, and a comfortable shower. I was staying solo but even for two it's all you need when you are just using the room to sleep. -You controlled the whole room from an iPad, which meant I would get into bed and then set my alarm, close the curtain, lower the AC, even turn the lights in the bathroom pink if I wanted to (which I obviously did) -The staff! I do not think I left the hotel once without asking 3 questions. And each time, they patiently helped me with suggestions, recommendations, explaining the metro, etc. -Free bikes! In Amsterdam, that is huge. I was so happy to not have to deal with finding a bike rental. They are first come, first serve, but I never had an issue. If you are visiting this city and you are comfortable on a bike, you musttttt use one to explore. -I am used to water bottles being provided in hotels but here, they have karafs ready for guests to take from the lobby/bar area, up to their room. -The hotel is in a great location, but I quickly realized that there are few bad locations in the city. So, to sum it up, 100% recommend.

This hotel will quickly win you over with its "smart" rooms (come on, you want to be able to change the color of the bathroom lights via an iPad-- admit it!), upbeat staff and great coffee bar! Oh, and the bed was super comfortable and quite large relative to the size of the room. You could tell they put thought into designing the rooms. The only one minor thing I didn't like was that the sink was in the room rather than in a separate area, though I can see how it makes sense from a use-of-space perspective that they put it there. The breakfast was good, too, and you get unlimited coffee (but the coffee they make for you is actually very good!) This location is walkable to the museums and downtown (or you can take the metro or trams nearby). Getting to and from the airport is also quite easy via metro to Centraal train station and then a train.

Such a pleasant stay! Getting from the airport to the hotel by train and metro was the most effortless commute ever. The metro stop being around the corner and having a tram stop right in front of the hotel made our short trip to AMS run super smoothly. The room was nice, comfortable, and clean. I stayed with my sister, and we both enjoyed it. The staff was friendly and attentive from check-in until our departure. One thing about this hotel is everything is cashless so keep that in mind. p.s. careful with the blackout curtains, you might sleep in longer than you wish for!

This hotel was very clean and convenient. I only stayed for one night, but the staff checked me in early and assisted with taxis whenever I needed. Damien was especially kind! I will definitely stay here again in the future.

Fun and young hotel with an attitude. We started our vacation here. Great location near a both a metro station and a tram stop. Very friendly "front desk" and bar staff. Needed an outlet and a reading light on my side of the bed, though. Housekeeping came in even though we didn't request it. Comfortable bed. Fun mood lighting. Modern bath. Our room faced the busy street but we didn't notice any noise at all.

Rooms are very small but also very clean, modern, and efficient. Everything you need is there and easily accesible, Also, you can change the colors of the bathroom to match your mood. There were plenty of plugs and blackout curtains. The decor of the hotel was cute as well. The staff was friendly and food was available 24hrs. Foods was not great but it wasn't terrible either. Lastly, the check in process was pretty simple. A friend was able to book/reserve online but then wan leach of us were able to check in and pay first our own rooms.

Quaint and electric boutique hotel. Very trendy. Loved looking at all the art work in the common living areas and bar. Beautiful decor. Self check in was easy even though we'd just come off a very long flight.. Friendly and most helpful staff. Awesome food menu for dinner. I highly recommend the vegetable stew. Simply fabulous. Nice breakfast bar with all you can eat or pick up al la cart. The lattes / coffee drinks are excellent. Also has a full bar available and good wine and beer offerings. Super quiet and fully smart room controls via iPads. Id stay again!

This hip efficiency hotel chain is my current favorite place to stay in the city. First, for a small room, its quite functional. There's no wasted space as a king size bed takes wall to wall dominance in the back leaving a small desk, flat screen tv, sink and closet to fill the rest of the room. The bathroom is a small compartment to the side which (also roomy) will make you think you're gonna get beamed up to the enterprise while in the shower. Lobby space is quite cozy and has room for working on a laptop in a comfortable setting. Can run a bit pricy and there are snags to be had (for some reason my reservation was problematic checking in leaving me int he lobby for 30 mins waiting for it to be sorted out). But that said, the staff is friendly and helpful...so ya we can forgive the snags. Oh and by the way, you know you wanna stay here and not near Central. Right on the Amstel. Close enough to hop to excitement but so much cooler to be in a neighborhood.

Have contacted this hotel several times through Expedia. I booked a bundle flight and hotel deal through Expedia. Due to coronavirus concerns and the fact that New York has declared a state of emergency my airline cancelled my flight. I contacted the hotel and spoke to reservation manager matheo several times. I explained that my airline was worried about my safety and cancelled/refunded my trip and therefore I would hope the hotel would be just as concerned and refund me as well. I was told that since the hotel was losing a lot of money from coronavirus, the hotel would not give me a refund and was therefore not worried about my safety; let alone the safety of the people in that country. Everyone is being told not to travel and there is a state of emergency in NY, given this alone I should be given a refund. However, let's not forget that my airline cancelled my flight due to safety reasons and so I don't even have a way to get to the country. This hotel company and the reservation manager care more about a few bucks than the safety of its customers. Ridiculous!!
