Amsterdam Hotel Reviews
Expedia verified reviews
5/5 Excellent
"The hotel was under construction, which we knew. The check-in staff was amazing. We liked being close to Central Station as we took the tram lot."
"We spent a night before a river cruise and a night between cruises. The hotel is a very short walk fro Amsterdam Centre train station near the trams, trains and canal tours. It is also within walking distance of the river cruise piers."
A verified traveller stayed at ibis Amsterdam Centre
"The hotel location is very close to the central station train and easy to get to from airport. The hotel was nice and quiet and rooms were solid. The gym is amazing. The sauna doesn’t start working until 9am so that was a bummer. "
