Hotéis em Amsterdam

We loved our stay at Zaan Hotel. Fantastic location. It is just opposite to the train station, from where you can access trains to the airport, Amsterdam and various other destinations. The train to Amsterdam is only about 12 minutes ride. The train to the airport is only 3 stops away and about 18 mins ride. There is a fairly large supermarket opposite the hotel. It being in the heart of Zaandam, has several cafes, restaurants and beautiful shops as well as high street stores extremely nearby. We had a great time walking around the shopping street and also got to enjoy local Dutch food at the cafes. The hotel location is EXCELLENT in one word. Fairytale place is how we would describe Zaandam. We were very happy with the service at the hotel too. Our comfort family room was spacious. The fridge in the room is very useful. Our rooms were cleaned everyday and toiletries replenished. The staff were very helpful. All areas of the hotel are very well maintained, clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast was lovely too and so was the dinner. We would strongly recommend this hotel to everyone planning a trip in the Netherlands.

Very clean room. Lack of toiletries compare to other similar hotels (no hand body, tooth brush, shower cap). Easy check in/check out. Close to tram stop to downtown. Several supermarket nearby: Lidl and Albert Heijn.

The hotel was great. Very good quality of the equipment. But the services from the Reception was very unkind. The online booking was not great because they announced in Booking website they are not charge the credit card before the the date of the arrival. But they have tried a lot of time to charge my credit card during more than 1 week then they blocked my bank account because my bank though a tentative of fraud. I paid my bank to unblock and made a new credit card. They said it was to save the room... So they are not really in phase with the information giving on their profile in Booking.com. After that, at our arrival, they tried to charge more than expected my reservation (the amount they blocked in my credit card + the full amount of my entire reservation so more than 420 Euros)

The biggest advantage of this hostel is the close location to Railway Station Centraal. You just use the fairy (free of charge) over the river and walk 5 minutes. The public facility in the hostel is another big advantage. Many tables, sofas, and electricity plugs to work. The buffet breakfast has a large choice of food. The rooms have station double beds. The rooms are small and no good to work. This should be done in the public area.

The hotel is located on the outskirts of Amsterdam. It is 35 minutes ride via tram 17 from the central station, but you might have to wait it for about 10 minutes, and there is a 15 minutes walk from tram stop to hotel, so you are looking for about 1 hour to get from hotel to city center. It is a residential area, and there is nothing interesting nearby though you can eat at a very decent Sahan restaurant. On the other hand we saw rabbits and geese near the hotel :-) The room and bathroom were really large, there were beds, a chair, and armchair, a desk, a small round table, a dresser, a closet. The breakfast cost 14.50 euro. and it was excellent. There were hot items (scrambled eggs, fried bacon, kidney beans), cheese, sausages, fruits, pastries, different type of bread, juices, etc. The room and bathroom were clean but the cleaning team cold do better (I accidently dropped a cotton ball on the shower floor and found it on the next day on the same place). Unfortunately there was no tea/coffee in the room. You can buy tea at the reception but it would cost 2 euro. There was no refrigerator in the room. The staff is nice and helping customers providing maps etc. The hotel located about 15-20 minutes from the airport which is also convenient for visiting Keukenhof gardens.

We were greeted with really friendly and happy faces who made us feel welcomed at the get go. They also went above and beyond by providing us a map of Amsterdam! The hotel itself was very clean and well presented/decorated. Fresh towels were given on demand and beds made for us daily. There wasn’t anything we needed that wasn’t provided and although we hadn’t selected the breakfast included option when booking, we still had the option to pay for breakfast on the days we wanted to, with only a small fee. Check in and out was quick and smooth. Very easy to travel to the centre of Amsterdam with a tram stop only 2 mins away, not to mention the shops/eateries right outside the hotel doorstep. Overall an amazing experience and probably the best hotel I’ve stayed in! Thank you for the amazing stay!

Reserved for twin room but was told that it was not available upon check in. Ended up in a room with a sofa bed as the 2nd bed. The bedding was not clean with the duvet and mattress cover full of dirt, hair (long and *****) and dust.

It has a completely new look after being newly renovated. It has a lot of atmosphere, the price is great, and the indoor heated swimming pool is great.

Stayed here one night on IHG rewards points as a platinum member. Reception staff were super friendly, efficient and professional. The room was excellent on the 12th floor with great corner window views. Breakfast also good. I’d say this was one of the best express stays I’ve had. Sometimes this brand can be fairly low on the quality scale but this location is fantastic. Also, the let me store my bike in the luggage room of the holiday inn below.

Pros: The location is about 500m from Slotrejik station and very convenient as it only takes one station to go Amsterdam Central and Airport. Cons: - Staffs are not always at reception so sometimes you need to wait 15-20mins until someone shows up - The bed is small and low. There’s no curtain so there’s not much of privacy here - And what I hate the most is there is no noise proof so it’s quite noisy. Pleae think twice if you are not willing to here the loud talking and construction until 2-3 am everyday. I barely had a good sleep during 2 days at the hotel
