Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were smaller than I expected but immaculate, particularly room 207. The bar was small but friendly. Overlooking the road was not ideal, but the room was very spacious with coffee and tea facilities, a well-stocked minibar, and a well-lit bathroom.
The hotel rooms were initially okay for the price but improved on the second night to be great. The rooms were very nice and large with a lovely big tub in the bathroom. The upper floor location had limited space due to the roof, which was a bit of a drawback.
The hotel is situated in a quaint location close to the airport, offering a mixed experience with nice rooms but some service issues. The dining can be impressive, yet there are noise disturbances that affected my stay.
My stay at the hotel was lovely overall. The room was impeccable, and I appreciated the attention to detail. However, there were some issues with noise from the upper floor and difficulty setting the digital alarm clock. The location was convenient, just a 10-minute drive from the airport, but not ideal for exploring the city. The dining experience was good with plenty of choices at the buffet. The staff, while understanding English well, could have been a bit more friendly. The price was reasonable, but the lack of complimentary toiletries was a downside.
My stay at NH Amsterdam Schiphol was a mixed experience. The rooms were cosy and good, but the noise level was a downside. The service was nice overall, with polite staff willing to share local history, but the lack of availability at reception during certain hours was inconvenient. The location was beautiful but not easily accessible without the hotel shuttle or own transportation. The dining experience was a must-try with fresh and delicious offerings, although the absence of breakfast service on departure was a bit sad.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were nice, comfortable, and clean, but there was a slight sewage smell, possibly from the shower. The service was very friendly and helpful, despite a hiccup with the airport transporter. The location was convenient to the airport, but a bit isolated with limited dining options nearby. The dining experience was unsatisfactory for the price. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
