Horrified by hotel prices in Amsterdam, I decided to give Zaandam's hotel a try. Although not close…read moreto 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.

I noticed a lot of tourist in the area. A lovely area if you are a doing a day trip. It was my first time exploring the neighborhood. To be clear I did not use the service of the hotel.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel located just a few steps from the Zaandam train station…read more I definitely recommend staying outside of the Amsterdam central area and Inntel Hotel was ideal. Booking online was easy and I definitely suggest adding the breakfast option to your stay. My room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. TV channel options weren't the best, but you can pair the TV to your phone. Breakfast is at 7a and absolutely delicious! I did not check out the fitness center, pool, or bar, but I would stay here again just for the convenience of having the train station so close (best way to get around Amsterdam). There's plenty of shopping and groceries nearby, if you're interested. Finally, the staff were super friendly and answered all my questions with quick efficiency. TY TY TY

An updated and modern hotel in Zaandam, a suburb of Amsterdam. The hotel is a lot less expensive…read morethan those in Amsterdam, and yet, the location is very convenient. It's within walking distance of a Deen supermarket, the train station, and the town of Zaandam, which has plenty of cafes, bars, falafel/currywurst/broodje shops, as well as nice views of the water. We got a suite at the hotel, which provided adequate space for 4 adults. The A/C was a little difficult to configure, as was the safe, but there was a kitchenette equipped with silverware, plates, mugs, and a large table to sit at. The bathroom is considered huge for Europe. Breakfast is 10 euros p/p at the hotel, and I think it's worth it. It is served in the restaurant downstairs, which is cute and airy, and there's a solid variety of food offered. The breads are freshly baked and the espresso machine makes great coffee!

Re-branded as part of the Best Western chains, this reminds you of US hotels. It's spacious,…read moremodern, and offers a decent value if you are willing to sacrifice the convenience of being in Amsterdam - comparable to Amsterdam but larger rooms. Rooms: Spacious rooms that looked like a normal US hotel room - office desk, closet, room to walk around all sides of the bed. Thermostat on wall to control temperature. Multiple TV stations in both, English and Dutch. Bathroom: Some rooms come with the transparent glass door that offers minimal privacy. Our double room had the glass door but it was frosted and the walls were painted white, but our suite room had a glass door. The shower had a glass door with a dark laminate tile that gave a modern, upbeat feel. Train station is about 5 min walk and it costs 3.60Euros and 15 min ride each way into Amsterdam Central Station. Bar is available on the ground floor and elevator worked which are big ++ for us.

Don't sleep on this very inexpensive hotel located in the perfect spot a few miles outside of…read moreCentral Amsterdam. This hotel is located in an outdoor, open air mall with stores that are familiar to people from the United States. The train station is approximately 200 feet on the same block as the hotel it is extremely easy to navigate. The train is two stops from central Amsterdam and two stops from the airport. I made sure to check in after 3 o'clock If you attempt to check in earlier it's 7.50 in euros or there are lockers the charge is 6:50 in euros. Our room was very clean, organized, simple but enough for me and my husband to truly enjoy ourselves. By using this hotel we were able to save a lot on our lodging and spend more money eating, shopping and doing the typical tourist things. If you are attempting to locate this hotel by GPS you can use the address for the store Primemark in Zaandam, it's attached. The area is beautiful to walk around there are serval walkways over the canal that flows between the hotel and the stores. This hotel is convenient to everything including Zaanse Schans where the windmills are. The train goes there too. DO NOT PAY FOR A TOUR the train ride is less than 6 euros round trip!!! This hotel has great free Wi-Fi and a comfortable bed. The only problem with this hotel there aren't any phones in the room so you can call to ask for towels, toilet paper or any other questions you may have. This was a great choice!!

Amsterdam is the dream city to visit for anyone new to Europe (speaks english, clean, easy to…read moretravel, one united system of bus/train/tram, and 20 mins from all the fun great things to do in the countryside like windmills and fishing village). This hotel is 1 stop down from Amsterdam Centraal. It is in a quiet, chill, and restful spot. If you're someone who's been doing heavy traveling and want a tranquil stay with modern and nice amenities, I highly recommend this place. It was the best hotel I've stayed so far in Europe and I intend to stay in Mercure hotels going forward. Location of this hotel is literally across the street from the Sloterdijk station. Very safe walk even if at night. There's a SPAR along your way for any last min essentials. Highly recommend the day passes to travel out to fun areas. The staff were very kind and friendly. Front desk is smooth, mint water, gave out cookies and rubber duckies for Christmas, fruits to snack on. Front area has 2 computers to use, nice electric fireplace. Building is tall and modern. Only thing is, it seems they are still under construction for the other half of all floors with rooms. I am not sure why, so it can be a little strange. Rooms: Large and spacious and modern. Some people will complain it's dark. I agree- the rooms are painted black and purple tones and feels dark. However, the closets have lights, the shower is luxurious (cloud shower), beds are super comfortable and compared to most European cramped hotel rooms, this feels luxurious and almost like American. Cleaning: If you actually leave the little note out there telling them your room really doesn't need to be cleaned, you can get 5$ a day off the Skylounge in coupons. I thought that was super neat. On my last day I had accumulated 10 $ and got to try their excellent Taglatelle pasta. Food: there is breakfast for about 22$ a person- a little pricy but compared to other continental breakfasts I've seen, they have a larger spread. They have fresh juices, herring, all kinds of cold cuts, fancy seating, great coffee machine and just a great spread. I highly recommend it if you are a big breakfast eater and are about to go out for the day and need a fuller meal.

I have waited a bit to write this review. I visited this hotel the first time around a week after…read morethey opened and that experience was not the best as they were perhaps not really ready to open at that time but it is a totally different experience after that. The hotel is in a convenient location for me when I travel for business to Amsterdam. As most of the business I do is at the airport I have often stayed there but after several visits per month for many years I was sick and tired of the airport hotels so this is easy access being next to Sloterdijk and also makes it easy to go into town for dinner. After the chaos of the first visit the service has been really good. Always friendly and fast at check-in and they keep track of loyalty benefits and special requests. The elevators at this place are a bit weird (no buttons in the elevator so need to select the floor outside) but now seems to work. They have a very small gym but I have never seen anyone else use it. The rooms are a bit dark but that is more a decoration choice and it works ok, just a bit weird with portraits on the wall staring at the bed. Everything is new and works well. They have the essentials so safe, mini-bar, TV, iron and ironing board. Free wifi is reliable and reasonably fast. The restaurant at the top floor is decent and prices are acceptable. Good selection of beer (some local craft ones) as well as ok wine selection. Food is not amazing but good enough for a hotel. The atmosphere is nice and there are plenty of seats. Breakfast is also served there and it is a nice and fresh breakfast.

I stayed at the Hoxton in Amsterdam for three nights and, at around $600 a night, I was expecting a…read morebit more. The best part of the stay was definitely the front desk staff. Everyone I interacted with there was professional, helpful, and friendly. Unfortunately, the good service at the front desk didn't extend to the rest of the hotel. The bar and Lotti's restaurant were both consistently understaffed, and the service was extremely slow. Lotti's also seemed to be out of a lot of the main dishes, even though the menu is already pretty limited. As for the rooms, they were okay, but felt a little worn and could really use some updating. Nothing terrible, but for what the hotel charges, I think you should be able to expect a bit more comfort and quality. After checking out the W Hotel nearby, which was much nicer for a similar price, I couldn't help but feel disappointed. For nearly $4500 after taxes for three nights in two rooms at the Hoxton, I honestly felt a bit cheated. Again, the front desk team deserves credit, but overall, I think the Hoxton needs to step up its game to justify these rates.
