Horrified by hotel prices in Amsterdam, I decided to give Zaandam's hotel a try. Although not close to the railway station, the hotel is accesible by bus from Zaandam (quicker) and Amsterdam (longer) trips. However, keep in mind that during night/evening times, especially on the weekend, buses go not so often!
My room was pleasant and clean, large tv. Kettle, a couple of tea bags, and the only thing I didn't like were plastic spoons that go with it!
Toiletries consisted of one small piece of soap and a tube of shower gel/shampoo - no hair conditioner etc.
Breakfast, if not included, is 14 Eur, however,not many other places nearby unless you take a bus.
Free wi-fi, maps, and one computer with free internet access downstairs.
Bright sign will make sure you will find the hotel easily if arriving at night. read more
