Hotels near Bos en Vaart Heempark in Amsterdam

Stayed at this hotel in July '23 whilst on a short break to Amsterdam. The hotel has plenty of on street parking which is approx 16euro per day. The hotel is typical Holiday Inn Express quality with a good shower, bed could have been comfortable. The AC was very good. Breakfast can get busy but the spread is good. The location is very good, around 20 minutes into the city centre using public transport which is very close the hotel. Good local shops and restaurants. Would recommend.

We chose to stay at this hotel because it was walking distance to the family that we were visiting. That’s the last good thing I can say about the Amsterdam Forest Hotel. I booked a deluxe twin room. The room that we were given was nothing like the room shown in photos of the hotel’s website. It was tiny, hardly big enough for 2 people. The bathroom was the smallest I have ever seen in a hotel. No mirror in the room. One very small window overlooking the parking lot. No TV remote in the room. The phone in the room that you would use to contact reception wasn’t working. They charge for parking. They charge for breakfast. The halls are dark, almost scary. The halls are so narrow that if you encounter the housekeeping cart, you’ll have to scoot sidewise to get past it. The mattresses were about 2 inches thick, on top of a bigger mattress. On the plus side, they did 2 loads of laundry for us for a bargain price of 7.50 euros.

The hotel is close to public transport (10 minute walk) and the staff are quite friendly. They had a nice little store so you could buy a beer or bag of chips late at night. The only thing that stops me from putting 5 stars…no usb outlets. I totally get that the outlets for power are not universal, but everybody has a phone, and a USB port by the bed is needed for people that don’t have a wall adapter. Add that and this place would get 5 stars.

This was our first stay at this location, but it certainly won't be our last. We had a bit of a panic during the day about arrival times as trains were horribly delayed, however the reception team were kind and reassuring throughout. The hotel is located next to a tram stop (take Metro to Zuid and then tram 5 to Kronenburg) for easy access to the city centre and the room was clean and comfortable. We didn't have breakfast, and there is no bar or restaurant at this hotel, however a range of drinks and snacks are available at reception and it is possible to order in food. Reception staff were also most helpful with printing off our travel documents for the next day.

Very clean room. Lack of toiletries compare to other similar hotels (no hand body, tooth brush, shower cap). Easy check in/check out. Close to tram stop to downtown. Several supermarket nearby: Lidl and Albert Heijn.

Great location and close to public transportation. Had a nice room with a view. Although check in could have been a bit quicker, otherwise great place to stay and good value

I couldn't rate this hotel any higher. It's on the outskirts of town so lovely and quiet, the rooms are a good size and we didn't hear a peep from anybody else while we were in our room. We were allowed to drop off luggage early which was handy and then we came back about an hour early but were told our room was available so we could check in slightly earlier than the 3pm advised time. Check in was easy, and our room was on the 5th floor with the lifts just near reception. The room had a small kitchen which included a dishwasher, fridge, coffee maker, hob. Bathroom was a decent size and a nice walk in shower. We didn't eat here but we did come back for drinks before calling it a night on the Saturday and the bar was reasonably priced (it was cheaper compared to the city centre) and the staff on shift were extremely friendly. The hotel were happy to call us a taxi when we first arrived as we didn't know how far things would be, but we then stuck to Uber after that as it was a lot cheaper than the local taxi companies (same as the UK then!). Check out was equally as easy and again staff were pleasant and friendly. We will visit Amsterdam again next year, and we'll be more than happy to stay here again.

The hotel is very clean, the service is good, the geographical environment is good, it is very close to the subway station, and there is a self-service drink ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Would rate it lower if I could. The room was terrible. It was small and there was next to one space to store clothes, and while this didn't bother me for my 2 night stay, it would be really inappropriate for any longer stay. Toilet and shower are shared with many other rooms and are poorly kept. Cracked tiles, random empty bottles of shampoo and condition etc just left in a pile on the floor. There is a sink in the room, but our tap was cracked and sprayed water out the side when you turned it on. There is also a lot of noise outside, as late as even 11pm and with our window broken, we couldn't close it properly to help shut out some of the noise. Food in the bar below is good but VERY expensive for what you get. We also paid for breakfast included and it was nice to help yourself to bread, a toaster, some crackers, deli meat and cheese but... it was just stuff that they bought from the Lidl literally right across the road, about 20 metres away. Not worth how much they were charging for it. They also double charged us and are refusing to give a refund. We spoke to staff at the time and they all seemed friendly and happy to help but couldn't do anything. It was all ”Oh, I'll text the person who is doing the breakfast tomorrow”. She didn't. And when we explained it to the person on breakfast her only suggestion was also to text a co-worker. They took our details and said they'd email us about it. They didn't. We had to chase them up with multiple emails which they all ignored, so we emailed the company through whom we booked the stay. They contacted Abina who claimed that they'd already sent the refund through. They hadn't, which we have proven with bank statements. They still haven't. As of writing this it's been 6 weeks since our stay. No refund and extremely poor communication from Abina through and through. Absolute worst hotel experience to date. Don't stay here.
