From the airport you can catch the bus to 1/2 block away from the hotel. Situated in a nice area with a shopping area beside you and a nice market. We bought buns and cheese to have for our breakfast. No fridge in rooms but they are very nice and beds pretty comfortable. Great Turkish restaurant across the street. Go... More

A good quality hotel a bit out of town but easily accessible.The hotel is a half hour bus ride from Schipol (bus 69 from bay 15) at a cost of Euro 2.80pp or by taxi for about Euro 50.00! To get to the Dam (city centre) take a number 14 tram from just around the corner. Again that takes between... More

We booked this hotel 2 weeks before we were due to go as saw a good deal, I was a bit apprehensive when we first arrived as it looks quite run down outside -you can't miss it as its a peeling blue building! However as soon as we walked through the door my opinion was cast to one side, the... More

Good budget option, a bit out of the centre but a tram stop is just down the road. Breakfast was really good, room was clean and good size. Wifi worked well, hotel looks a bit dated but i would stay here again as a good budget place.

This hotel was booked for us by our travel agent and we were told that breakfast was included. We were informed by the hotel when we arrived that in fact it was not included in our reservation. This was the only downside to our stay. We had breakfast at the hotel 2 mornings and it was good but it cost... More

We booked this hotel through a Key Tour from Boston to Amsterdam. The hotel looks like a Soviet era hotel from the outside and gets its name from the blue exterior. The rooms are ok, but the service was awful. There were four couples in all, and every day something was not done in EVERY room. Frequently, we had no... More

The building and the room we had both seemed a bit jaded and in need of a refurb, but I have to say it was spotlessly clean and our double room was a good size with a nice en suite with a great shower over the bath. Very soft bed. It was a bit noisy from the trams which ran... More

Nice hotel, with two tram stops in front of the hotel. The frontdeskt has a very good service. The room is large, clean and the beds are nice. With the tram at the front of the hotel you can go to the main tourist attractions in 30 minutes. Something very important, if you will go to Amsterdam by car, park... More

Have just returned from here, staying with my mother. Although out of town, the tram journey in and out is easy and getting to the airport was fine (albeit the bus drivers are fond of their brakes!). The hotel itself is really unattractive from the outside but inside was perfectly fine, we had one incident where the room wasn't hoovered... More
