The digital directory screen was very easy to follow once we looked online to see which train we needed. There are intercity trains and sprinter trains which are slower or quicker because of the number of stops I think. We needed the 11:13 train on platform 5a to Uitgeest. We were t hungry yet but if we had been, the station has multiple places to buy pastries or snacks for travel. We only had to wait on the platform for about 15 minutes. The seats were comfortable and had options for 2 together or 4 facing each other for families. The ride was very smooth with only 2 stops before ours.

Yelp 2023 Review #2:…read more Located in Museumplein is this locker/ luggage storage service. Which is convenient especially if you have a lot of stuff with you and you just want to be able to go to museums in the area (Van Gogh Museum, Rijksmuseum, Moco, Stedelijk Museum) hassle-free. No human contact. It's all automated. All you need is a credit card and follow the prompts on the screen. You will be assigned a locker number, set up a pin and choose the length of time you need the locker for (up to 24 hours) - I suggest taking a picture of your locker but you'll also get an email with your locker number and the PIN you selected. The locker is a good size - you can probably fit 5 big backpacks in there so, if you're traveling with a group, just share a locker to save money. In my case, I rented a locker because it was pouring all day in Amsterdam and I came straight from the airport. My backpack was getting soaked so a locker was necessary. I paid 9 Euros for 24 hours - I wasn't sure how many hours I needed it for. But you can definitely rent by the hour.

Location is walking distance to many things. Very touristy area, though, so that kept us walking right past most of the shops and restaurants that were nearest to the hotel. Much of the art on display throughout the hotel and in the guest room is quirky and a bit racy. Staff were very friendly and helpful, both at the check-in and concierge counters. They even helped us book tickets for a canal boat tour. Our room was very spacious and clean. We even had a bit of a view from the window (mostly street view, but also a bit of the canal). Like so many modern hotels, the bathroom area was a bit atypical, with the sink and (ample) counter space mostly in the open, while toilet and showers are contained within their own separate stalls. There is actually a switch on the wall that let's you frost or unfrost the glass walls of the bathroom, according to your preferences... definitely don't share a room with someone you won't trust with that power! The hand lotion and soap smelled very nice, FYI. A few quirks. They apparently have to manually unlock the fridge/mini bar from the front desk when you check in. We learned this when we found our fridge was locked upon our arrival. Our room didn't have a remote control for the TV, which didn't really matter since we weren't going to use it, but we wanted to turn the TV off since it displays a room directory by default. Finally, it seems like someone (another guest?) stole the "Do Not Disturb" sign from our door and our neighbors' doors at some point? The front desk helped us with all this stuff, but just some weird things to share. Amsterdam hotels (and particularly in the city center) are wildly expensive. Credit card points helped us stay at this conveniently located, pleasant property.

The one award winning dessert with the peanut butter I wish had more peanut butter as we didn't really discover it till the last bite and it was so tasty. The other passionfruit dessert was so unique and different, I would definitely order that again. Restaurant itself was hip and modern and the service was as expected for an upscale place. I would return again.

This location is right in the heart of all the action, and every major spot to hit within the city is within walking distance or a quick tram ride away. I had never stayed in a hostel before, so I was a bit nervous based on stories from friends in other crowded cities. The check-in process was very easy. I booked through hostelworld and they just needed a passport to verify, then gave me the entrance key, house rules, and directions to my room. I stayed in a co-ed room with about 20 other people. Each bed was in bunk form with clean sheets and pillows with plenty of secure space to keep luggage underneath and an outlet to charge devices on the wall. The showers were clean and I felt like I had privacy while changing as well. The atmosphere at night was awesome. During my first night, I met four people each from a different area of the United States/England and we ended up bar hopping together. What an experience that was! The nightly rates are only a few more bucks than other similar ones, but I can assure you that they do not have the energy like the downtown Flying Pig does!

Live band, spacious bar area and plenty of seating with billiards downstairs. Being an Irish pub, of course I went with a proper Guinness pint and chatted with my friends. Great place to start or hang out at on a Friday night. 9pm on a Friday with live music, there were some open spots, but not many, maybe 3 tables and a couple spots at the bar. Couldn't get the card reader to pay through Amex, best to have a bit of cash on hand - or a visa. Cheers.

Phew, where to begin. I have stayed in a pod hostel before and loved it. So, I was excited about…read morethis one. But, we were so disappointed in this hostel that my friend and I canceled our later pod hostel in this trip and swore we will never stay in another dorm room again, only private rooms for us from now on! Firstly, we unfortunately missed our first night as our flight canceled the day of and the next earliest one was the next morning. We were not upset at not being refunded the first night as we understand this is policy. However, when we arrived the next day we were not allowed to check in! They said the rooms were being cleaned. Well... if we were staying there we would be allowed access to the room anyways? Unless they just kick out everyone every morning? VERY strange. We then had to PAY for luggage storage. I've visited 20 countries, stayed in Hostels in every one, and NEVER heard of being charged for luggage storage. This is such a rip off. And of course, the luggage storage only accepted coins, not cash or card. So inconvenient to your travelers! The attached bathroom to the room only has a rain shower and sink, no toilet. You have to walk to the communal one outside the room to use the toilet. And these rain showers they brag about? They turn off automatically after only 5 seconds! Not a relaxing shower at ALL! When we were packing up the next morning, a half hour before check out time the receptionist actually came INTO our room and said, "Girls, everyone ready for check out?" Excuse me? I'm not on a school trip. I'm a paying customer here. The pod was comfortable, but VERY small. Other ones I've stayed in had room for your suitcase and your bed to sleep. Not this one and there aren't enough lockers for everyone. The rooms are tiny as are the pods. The one receptionist was nice and helped us carry luggage up as the stairs are VERY steep with no railing. This may be the worst hostel in which I've ever stayed.

On this visit, I chose Cocomama for part of the trip. Cocomama is close to Fredericksplein, which is the main artery for some hip places you'll want to go. It is near the city centre, but not too close, otherwise it gets tacky. The ladies at the front desk are friendly and helpful. They give you a full tour of the hostel, which was once a brothel. Just my luck... In the basement, there is a nice lounge area with shared kitchen and dining space. Lots of lovely couches to fall asleep on and a beautiful cat to keep you company. There is also a garden and you can go out there from 9AM - 9PM, only cigarette smoking allowed. Tons of books, movies to keep you entertained. You can also play old-school Nintendo. Wow brings back memories. They will also do your laundry for €6. If you don't have a tablet or computer, they can loan you one. Good wifi throughout the hostel. If you arrive before check-in time, you can leave your bag and check-in later, the front desk open 9AM - 9PM. I stayed in a 4 bed coed room aptly named, "The Brothel Room." Beds are comfy and also there are lockers in the room if you need to lock up something. The bathroom is in the room, so not as big of a hassle to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. My only gripe is that they don't serve breakfast. It is probably one of the only places I've stayed at in Amsterdam that doesn't have breakfast. Bummer...

The hostel provided a fun environment for our two night stay and we were able to meet people visiting Amsterdam from all over. Unfortunately, the day after we checked out of the hostel my room mate woke up with bed bug bites all over her back and on her face. I understand that this is the risk you take when staying in a hostel, however I always expect for the staff to do thorough examinations of every bed before a new guest checks in. We immediately alerted Coco Mama via email about the bed bug situation. We told them about the time and money that we lost having to dry clean everything we brought into their hostel and asked for them to check the beds we stayed in. I received a response telling me that unfortunately things like this happen in hostels. There was no apology or mention of a partial refund for our stay. I reached out two more times about the situation and inquired about a refund and got no response. I find this to be completely unprofessional and telling of Coco Mama. It's unfortunate that what started out as a great stay ended up costing us time, more money, and a bad case of bed bug bites. I would not recommend staying at this hostel.

It's chaotic. Then there's the gridlocked passport section itself, with biometric gates only for EU countries, so e-passports from the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, etc., get lumped in with all the rest -- unlike at most airports. With only three windows open, it doesn't help that the officials are so darn chatty, either. The place looks rundown, with lots of strange noises akin to someone rolling giant bowling balls upstairs. The climate control is terrible, too. (That might be connected to the weird noises.) Schiphol actually makes Los Angeles International Airport seem not so shambolic -- that's how bad it is.
