although outside Amsterdam center, it was convenient to take transportation at all times and in a pleasant area adjacent to Amsterdamse Bos, an extensive parkland.

Room reeked of mold/mildew. The bathroom held the worst of it. Literally had to hold our breath anytime we entered the bathroom. A room in this condition should not be given to guests. We thankfully only stayed one night here.

Pleasant hotel about 50 mins from Central Amsterdam by public transport. Really easy trip via bus and tram. Cab from central was in the region of €30.

Forest Motel is close to the airport and has easy access to public transport. They have a lift which makes carrying heavy bags a lot easier and the breakfast was great. The area felt safe and there are enough local restaurants to get by for a short stay. There is also a supermarket within walking distance. Would recommend this place :)

This property has a bedbug issue that needs to be addressed. They know about it but so far it has not been resolved. Therefore I cannot recommend this hotel at all. Avoid room 612 I came away with over 100 bites.

Watch out if your staying in Room 006 On two occasions our door was left open by cleaners the whole day! Housekeeping very unsatisfactory, two of our four nights either incomplete or non existent e.g. beds unmade etc Staff very helpful and friendly but unfortunately don't meet expectations.

Our stay was just ok. Bathroom was extremely small, even more than other European hotels we've stayed at. Was not a big fan of the bed topper over the two twin beds. It was very quiet at night which was wonderful, but that meant we were not really close to a lot of amenities, restaurants, or sights. However if you can figure out the public transit or brave enough to bike, then the location is nice out of the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam if you prefer to stay a little bit away. The breakfast was good, so if you are considering eating there before heading out for the day, then pre-purchase this option which will save you a few euros. The cleanliness was ok, bathroom had mold.

Great location. The rooms were nice. I found the breakfast and parking to be great deals. The bar only serves beer and wine with a very limited selection. I think i may have been overcharged for the wine, but I was in a rush to get to the airport when i checked out and foolishly didn’t get an invoice. Found it strange that I couldnt charge wine and breakfast to the card on file when I checked out. Also wish the rooms had a box of tissues Used too much TP because there were no tissues and had to go to the front desk to get more. Despite these minor isdues this is a nice hotel and i would consider staying here again.

We were not able to find this place after arriving late at night. No lights or signage to indicate where the hotel was. We had to leave without staying. We use public transportation, and this hotel was far out enough from city center that it needs to be take in consideration transit time from the city center.

Hotel is located in a quiet, mainly residential neighborhood about 15 - 20 minutes from Schipol airport by taxi. In general, the premises are fine but the decor and lighting make it look and feel gloomy. Our room was small but clean and comfortable. Very little noise. The breakfast was good. The staff were helpful. For a modest hotel, it’s fine for an overnight stay.

Super nice and friendly last min and unexpected st
I booked at super short notice knowing that I would encounter a flight delay, missed connection and have a late check in. The hotel confirmed my booking before I flew, they were very friendly on arrival and had an efficient check in service. The room was very comfortable, secure, and accessible without steps/stairs, and featured a lovely walk-in shower.

I really liked the value for the money. Room had a good working shower, a very nice kind of "medium soft" bed. The hotel is very close to the big park in Amsterdam. During the pandemic, I could not find many options for food around the hotel, but that was happening even in the city center. During the pandemic, the hotel should have offered some type of microwave or hot plate for the guests to use, but I cannot fault them for that.

The hotel was lovely clean comfortable and friendly, rooms were great had tea coffee facilities and a fridge also, some english channels on the tv and blackout curtains too. The shower stayed hot and pressure was good too. Over all a great hotel. Only downside was the people staying above us were up all night banging and crashing which kept me awake, but this was not the hotels fault and had i have compained at the desk im sure it would have been resolved. Highly recommend.

The property was easy to find and had onsite parking, the hotel is not near any good restaurants and is a long way from any tourist activities (not walking distance) and the kitchen staff had not idea what celiac disease or "gluten Free" meant
