Hotels near Podium Mozaiek in Amsterdam

Where to begin? This is a hostel, so you are sharing with 10 other people. Think long and hard about that before you book. Do you snore or make other nocturnal noises that will keep others awake? Maybe look elsewhere. I mention this because yesterday I checked in this hostel hoping to spend the night. It's got great friendly staff. On the whole it's clean and tidy. Result for a cheap night. Went off out in the evening, found something to eat. It was all going well. Then it was time to sleep. I'll be honest the weather is warm, so the room was warm, not a deal breaker at this price range. I was on my bed by 10 and ready to sleep, a few members of the room already in bed, one snoring. At midnight after everyone else came in, did their thing I had to get out of bed to turn off the lights for them. It was after this with some dark it becomes apparent that the snoring wasn't going to stop. Eventually I got up maybe half two. Went to the reception, got a beer. I was asked if everything was ok. I explained about the snoring, and was shown the TV room by the receptionist. I was overjoyed. A quiet and cool room to rest. I finally found some sleep in the TV room. So I'd imagine if the folk you're sharing with aren't snorers this could be a perfect way to see some of Amsterdam. Once again big thanks to the receptionist team. Really appreciate your help and thoughtfulness.

It's perfect, the location is first-class, the service attitude is good, the transportation is convenient, and there is a special bus to take you to the airport. It's really a surprise. I really like this hotel.

Beautifua with the friendliest staff and divine food. Everything we had during our 3-day stay was amazing, and they made sure we are comfortable and happy...

The bedroom is spacious and heating bars in the toilet is excellent. Love the cleanliness of the room and hotel. Nice service staff in the breakfast room. The guy opened up the buffet breakfast at 6am for us, 14paxs to pack our breakfast for our onwards early journey to Paris. Tqvm ya🥰🙏. Strategic location, just beside the train station.

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.

The hotel is located on the outskirts of Amsterdam. It is 35 minutes ride via tram 17 from the central station, but you might have to wait it for about 10 minutes, and there is a 15 minutes walk from tram stop to hotel, so you are looking for about 1 hour to get from hotel to city center. It is a residential area, and there is nothing interesting nearby though you can eat at a very decent Sahan restaurant. On the other hand we saw rabbits and geese near the hotel :-) The room and bathroom were really large, there were beds, a chair, and armchair, a desk, a small round table, a dresser, a closet. The breakfast cost 14.50 euro. and it was excellent. There were hot items (scrambled eggs, fried bacon, kidney beans), cheese, sausages, fruits, pastries, different type of bread, juices, etc. The room and bathroom were clean but the cleaning team cold do better (I accidently dropped a cotton ball on the shower floor and found it on the next day on the same place). Unfortunately there was no tea/coffee in the room. You can buy tea at the reception but it would cost 2 euro. There was no refrigerator in the room. The staff is nice and helping customers providing maps etc. The hotel located about 15-20 minutes from the airport which is also convenient for visiting Keukenhof gardens.

An American’s perspective Traveling for work for almost 4 weeks. I had the 2 bedroom apartment 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. Apartment 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

Friendly staff, quick check in and if you book via a third party you pay taxes it's not much to be honest. Rooms are constantly being cleaned, big kitchen to do some cooking. There's a shop behind 5minutes away. Big community area and plenty of activities to engage in. It'd a ferry away from Centraal train station which is convenient

Nice comfortable rooms and helpful staff. Beds are very cosy, slept well. Good desk in the room to work from however the Internet is very poor in the room making it difficult to do more than send basic emails. Not good enough speeds for netflix for example and any websites with high security don't work because the signal keeps cutting. However in the lobby it is fine. That's the only let down really. All else was good. Like the heater in the bathroom!

Love the energy and vibe of this place The front desk is so helpful and so knowledgable The breakfasts are such a wonderful way to start your day The rooms are clean though they did have some plumbing issues ( the water from the flush tank kept running ) but these are quick fixes I would definitely come back here again Yours Ryan
