That cash is also not accepted if the machine feels not like it. So you add another hour just to get the money from different ATMs for being able to leave the area, wet to the bone as it was raining really bad and the idea was to drive into the garage of a covered shopping area. A real nightmare at the end. The mall itself is average. Food below par in quality and above par pricewise. Shops are OK.

This little shop has everything you could possible need and at a very affordable price point. I was able to purchase a new top, underwear and snacks to keep me going until my flight the next day. They have everything from baggage tags and scales to bras to toys to phone cases! Seriously everything! You can find them on the departures 3 side of the Schiphol airport (before security).

You can buy almost anything at the airport, from handy travel accessories and stylish sunglasses, to Dutch cheese and quality perfumes." Dutch grocer Royal Ahold (Stop & Shop in the US) has two stores here and everything is located outside the security area of the terminal It is very near the baggage claim area. Also the Train Station into Centraal Amsterdam is just outside and easy to find.

Easily accessible from Amsterdam by train or bus...there is everything here from Kiosks, restaurants, bars and even a Nespresso store! Of course there is an Albert Heijn as well. I actually come here from Amsterdam to do some shopping sometimes. Just a quick 12 minute train ride....lots of fun vibes to be in an airport PRE-security. Another big plus are free bathrooms. Access to 12 or more train platforms underground so you can go anywhere in The Netherlands from here. Usually the first thing you see when leaving the airport and arriving to Amsterdam.

Well worth it if you are in the area and are hungry. The food there is just standard La Place food but the view is what makes it great.

My husband bought me a coat for Christmas that didn't fit and they told him if I needed to I can take it back for store credit. I browsed and found nothing so I decided to get house stuff instead. Brought it to customer service and was told I could only get store credit for the brand name of the coat that was bought. I seriously never heard of such a thing but fine. I went back and just picked a few things and the one of the pants I bought were incorrectly marked so it was more than my credit. I said well just take them off and give me the remaining in store credit. She said she couldn't do that but still took the pants off leaving the store with a gain of 11 euros. I said I'm not giving you the 11 euros so please put the pants back on and I'll pay the increase. She took my money and not so nicely gave me me my change and walked away.

I swear, it's just a huge department type store, but again, there's just something about the newness of it to me that made it so great. For those of you from the states, to me, it reminded me a bit of a mix between a Target and a major department store. A bit of everything at affordable prices. We stopped in here a few times for a few things we needed on our trip and even once for a snack. I am a huge lover of smoked meats and cheese, so when we saw that we could get their famous smoked sausage on a roll for £2 and an ice cream sundae for £1 we were all about it and quite happy for it. One thing I miss living in the UK are smoked meats and sausages. Proper smoked meats and sausages. This really hit the spot. I was really tempted to buy stuff to bring back for my home in Glasgow, but figured it would be a pain to drag everything back when I could just get stuff once I got home if I wanted. Instead, I bought a really cool green ink pen for uni, some stroop waffles for the boyfriend and some candles for a birthday we were celebrating while in Amsterdam! Definitly a fan of Hema and will shop here again if ever given the chance!

The HEMA is absolutely famous in Holland. In the cities you can find one at every corner of the…read morestreet, and every village has one as well. The Hema is not only a warehouse, its more.. It is a customer-friendly store with an unique profile. HEMA distinguishes itself from other retailers by selling its own brand. Every day, week and/or month you can find new offers on products for daily use, all with its own assortment. HEMA products are convenient, practical, attractive and of good quality. It even got to a point that HEMA became a fashion icon, with Dutch celebrities starting to wear basic t-shirts with nothing but the red HEMA line on it.. While living abroad, the HEMA is definitely absent in the German streets..How can people live without it??!! Im sure the Dutch cant... It will fit perfectly.. with Germany being famous for the Wurst...Well, at the HEMA we sell the famous `Rookworst`!

The store was well lit, well organized, user friendly & carries some of the MOST BASIC items for women. (for men too I guess but I didn't really look at the men's dept.) Cotton & lycra blend tops----long sleeve, tank, short sleeve, hip length, & mid thigh---in all colors, neutrals, cerulean blue & black-- about $12-$14. Who doesn't need these? Fold up "down jacket" that was $39, (I got it on a special for $15). Faux leather tote, $29. Well fitting bras, $13. I found several pair of earrings on special $1.00. Faux leather passport/wallet-$12. I must add that everything has been washed & is of superior quality & hasn't shrunk. The tote & wallet are in still perfect condition, after months of use. ($$'s rounded off from euros) Kids clothes were amazingly priced compared to the States & if I had a larger suitcase I would have bought for my grand-daughter. Styles that were so much nicer & well made for a fraction of the cost at the Gap or Old Navy. Oh & check out their make-up dept. Super good quality, great selection & all for cheap prices. I will be back!!
