Cityden BoLo District

long long Amsterdam central station ! so good!

An American’s perspective Traveling for work for almost 4 weeks. I had the 2 bedroom apar**ent at almost 800 square feet. The layout had the bedrooms along one long hallway and while divided by the water closet and shower bathroom , the bedrooms did not have any doors. So the bedrooms are semi private from eachother. Not totally private. The open concept living room and kitchen area was very large and well appointed with a pull out couch and table and chairs for 6. The smart tv worked well there were two walls with full windows. One side had 2 windows that partially opened and a front balcony door that could open but you weren’t allowed to open it fully. Only about 5 inches. It was very hot and humid when I arrived so the inability to open windows for cross breeze and the poor air conditioning made it unbearable . They did provide a fan which helped, and eventually the heat spell passed. The beds were comfy but the mattress topper was extremely soft and it was better without it. No windows in the sleeping areas. Plenty of closet space and a safe but no drawers. Closets with shelving to stack things. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils , an electric cook top and a convection oven. I didn’t cook on the cooktop because the pans were too worn looking. I am sure if I asked they would’ve given me a cleaner looking one. Dishwasher worked fine. Apar**ent sized fridge with freezer. Bigger than a dorm fridge. No ice cube trays. Outlets. There were Plenty in the bedroom areas but not enough in the living room. Only 2, but lucky I had an extension adapter to reach to use my laptop at the kitchen table. Free Wi-Fi. Someone else mentioned that the lobby is very dark and it is. It’s not lit very well and gloomy upon arrival. That paired with the “garden” in the front seems very bleak and grey. But that could be construed as normal for Europe. I believe they only clean on a weekly basis for extended stays. The cleaning person that did clean my unit did a great job. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The reason I didn’t give them 5 stars was because one day my friend came back to the room and it had 4 men in it fixing a window. I told the front desk that I understood they had a repair but they did not tell me. The front desk staff said they did not know about it either and was very apologetic but if they didn’t know then who let them in ? I had the do not disturb sign on , yet they still entered. There is no smoking in the hotel but the **** smell is still rampant. I guess that’s normal now. The smoke alarms did go off a few times. But the staff communicated through a speaker if it was a true emergency which it wasn’t. It’s sully people burning food. It was convenient to have food delivered through Uber eats or the Amsterdam version of door dash. Groceries can be delivered through Klink. There is a small restaurant in the lobby that has a limited menu. But convenient to grab a light meal. There are 2 supermarkets

Nice and clean room, the view could have been better but all was included and the bed was comfortable. Very welcoming staff.

Perfect for family, perfect location, perfect heating, bad sleeping because there are single beds side to side

The hotel rooms and location is excellent. Each approach to trams or buses. The staff is very friendly and able to help to their best. The manager Peter is very friendly and has great gesture

The location of the hotel was ideal for exploring the city. It was conveniently located near public transportation options, making it easy to access all the major sights and attractions. Plus, there were plenty of shops, restaurants, and cafes within walking distance.

Really clean and did the job for a family vacation. Heads up - if sharing the room the bed and couch are closer than expected but still nice all the same. Yet, the staff were extremely friendly and keen to help. The rooms were good rate and a nice place to stay. The only issue I could see with staying here is getting into town IF you struggle with taking public transport. But the tram system was fantastic and we were in the city centre within 20 minutes- would stay again.
