I booked a 3-star hotel and that is what I got, no luxuries but it is all right. I would rate it a little bit higher but the restaurant only had a BBQ buffet for diner and maybe it could be a little cleaner. What I found very convenient is that when you connect to the internet, the hotel webpage has the transport information showing you the way to the tram station nearby, just a 5 minute walk and you will get anywhere in Amsterdam.

This is a great place to stay away from the city center but still with access to it; the sell metro passes in the lobby, and our Metro stop was only a 3-minute walk from our hotel and a short ride away from the center. The staff was also very wonderful!

Enforced stay
Last minute booking as dumped at Schiphol by KLM, with no hotel booking. Mixed up with Best Western Plus which has a shuttle service so cost a lot extra to get there by taxi. Reception was OK after midnight. Only food available was Pizza from a self serve machine, so not ideal. Room location was like a prison block but room was a good size. Bed was OK but duvets small. Bathroom was a bit tired looking but adequate when one has no toiletries. Breakfast next day was buffet style and expensive at 19E each. Not much to do in vicinity of hotel. Taxi to airport would be 40E but by walking for tram into Central Station then getting train out it was <15E for a couple and allowed us time in the city centre.

Thank you for your stay, although not planned. Bear in mind, there are over 4000 Best Western Hotels so have a good look where the hotel is situated before you book. Of course the public transport is much cheaper than a taxi.

The area around the hotel is not itself very interesting. However, the hotel is very comfortable, and is very close to the Westlandgracht tram stop, which means all of the heart of Amsterdam is 15-30 minutes away. A great find, I must say. I will certainly stay here again.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The place was easy to reach transport into city and airport. Lidl and another supermarket 2 mins walk away. The room had a fridge to store bits for lunches etc However, the housekeeping was inconsistent. They kept changing towels when I didn't need them to but didn't change cups or fill up coffee. Had to actually write a note asking them to change cups after they failed to do this twice. The extractor fan in the bathroom also does not turn off, so you have that the whole night whilst trying to sleep.

Modern, friendly, out from the center
Modern hotel a little off the beaten path in Amsterdam. Hotel property is very good with a friendly and accommodating staff. Nice room with modern bathroom and a very good breakfast buffet. The hotel is in a high-rise residential area that has connections to the tram and metro lines within a short walk. Good value for money if you are familiar with public transport in Amsterdam.

We stayed 2 nights in this property and what we paid was not worth for the available facilities. No A/C and rooms are just like closed space as you can see only walls of other building from your window. Bathrooms are not up to standards with very minimal quality and you will hit your head on counter under mirror if you bend down to wash in the sink. We do not recommend this to anyone who expect regular standards of Best Western hotels.

hotel is in a great location for access to the city centre via tram or metro. Just a short walk away. Even a night bus stops nearby. Two good supermarkets close too. Single bed was okay, but very bouncy for my taste. All round good as a place to crash when visiting Amsterdam :)

Did not feel our room was secure.
We loved our location and the hotel and room was nice. But no chain lock or pep hole in the door. Which means you have to open the door to see who is there plus no chain to stop an intruder. First 5 days we had only towels and sheets freshen once. Cleaning was in the room on fifth day with door open as we left for the day. The door was left open for 5 hours while we were out. Why ? Or who left it open for sure was never confirmed despite our questions. After that we left a Do Not Dusturb sign on the door and therefore had to go to desk to get anything and everything we needed for the next 5 days. I asked for a wheelchair to take my friend from cab to room as she became violently ill with food poisoning there was not one . I will say the staff were super friendly at the desk. Overall the hotel showed well. But these other details left us feeling unsettled.( To clarify nothing was stolen from our room and there was a safe. But we felt all our personal things were vulnerable to anyone in the hotel.

Booked a room at this hotel for my daughter and I for an affordable one night stay. The room itself was practical and clean, comfortable beds. Courteous staff. We were given what felt like the 'after-thought' room, on the ground floor, at the end of the hall near an unlocked/open fire escape door, with a view of the garbage bins and a razor topped fence. As two females (one being a minor), we did not have a great gut feeling about the safety of the area of this hotel. It was a short walk from a tram stop (5-10min) but the short walk was nerve wracking, people arguing in the street, graffiti, rubbish, not a lot of people around. In the end we just used ubers to get everywhere. For budget, comfort, and kind staff, this hotel was reasonable for the price/star rating. Unfortunately the area put us off and thought the hotel might be better suited for business travellers with a car (Gated parking available), or those travelling in larger groups.
