Netherlands Accommodation

The American is a well-known classic art deco hotel with an interesting history. The main areas of the hotel are in beautiful condition and some (most?) of the rooms have been renovated (i.e. new wallpaper, etc.). The concierges, both Driiss and Salami were excellent in assisting us in planning our stay in the city. All the front desk staff were friendly, informed and accommodating. The cleaning staff were thorough and provided housecoats, slippers and bottled water - glass bottles - which were a bonus! We could make tea and coffee in our room. Lots of hot water for the comfortable shower and bathtub. With a day-before reservation, breakfast in the gorgeous art deco era dining room was very good and 15 euros instead of 19. The hotel is right on a canal and the blue canal boat company is located there.

This hotel is a great place to stay if you are catching the train or plane at Schipol Airport. There is a free shuttle which picks you up/drops you off at the airport and only takes about 10 minutes driving. From the airport it is easy to get into the city by taki the Amsterdam Centraal train. Very clean, nice sized room. And friendly/helpful staff. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

ONE NIGHT, EARLY MORNING BREAKFAST AND TCHAU! THAT WAS IT!

My stay at the IBIS City Center hotel was above expectations. I have no negative issues to state. This hotel is just great and extremely client friendly.

We felt very welcome from the moment we entered the hotel. Check in was smooth and friendly. Nice breakfast buffet. Very near many embassies.

Don't be put off if you think this hotel is too far from The Hague - it isn't! It is only five minutes away by train.

Pros: Very good value, nice breakfast, close to station (and a metro and tram stop). Cons: Have read reviews that it is a "business hotel" I suppose it is so if this is a negative for you this hotel may disappoint. Staff very helpful too. Would stay again.

Nice hotel, a bit far from center, but easy to find. Free parking. Room is comfortable, even the sofa beds. Air con. Tiny but clean and good working gym on the top floor with beautiful view. If you want to find a supermarket, it's not easy. There is a huge road crossing nearby, with constant traffic day and night, if you are sensitive to noises, it can be a bit disturbing. Make sure you own your own updated maps, otherwise the roads take you to long trips you didn't plan.
