ibis budget Amsterdam City South
Super friendly staff and absolutely beautiful facilities! Second time staying there and spotlessly clean room and huge bed. Had a wonderful sleep! Can’t understand why it’s called budget other than its amazing value. Have stayed in UK budget hotels and no comparison!
