Just got back from 3 nights here and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The hotel is plush, the staff are so friendly and helpful and the location is perfect for a quiet stay. We loved the outside area for meals and drinks in the sun. The cost of the beer is typical with Amsterdam, which is quite expensive, but good quality. The room was air-conditioned, spacious and modern, with a comfortable bed and pillows. The walk in waterfall shower was exceptional. Close to the bus/ Metro/ Train Station (200 metres) and in the station is a supermarket, Burger King and many other convenience shops. Outside the station is a McDonald's and another burger restaurant. |Amsterdam Centraal is only 8 mins away on the Metro, which takes you directly into the main areas and canals. |So, the passport control at Schiphol Airport was draining, as it took us about an hour and 15 mins to get through this. Mainly due to UK passengers not being in the EU anymore, so had to queue up with hundreds of other passengers and be served manually instead of the automated machines. Once outside, we ordered an Uber to take us to the hotel, which should've taken about 25 mins, but it didn't due to three lanes being closed on the main road. This also inflated the price of the Uber to 70 Euros, and we had to wait over 90 minutes for it to arrive! It took us about 4 hours from landing to get to the hotel. |We had an early return flight, so we decided to use public transport from the hotel. A 200 metre walk to the train station, Metro (underground) to Amsterdam Centraal (8 mins & about 2 Euros), then a train to Schiphol Airport (15 mins and about 5 Euros). |Knowing what we know now, we will never use Uber for this journey. |We will definitely stay at this hotel again.
