10/10 Excellent
"We loved staying at the ibis in Amsterdam! It is super close to both the main sight seeing spots and the big main train station which makes it super easy to get around. There is also lots of tram lines close by if you don't want to walk to get further into the city. The staff was super friendly and welcoming and even gave us some small freebies on arrival. The room and bathroom are a bit small but it didn't bother us personally as we only really used to room to sleep in as we were out exploring the city for most of our time there. Even though the area around is quite busy we didn't rally have any trouble with the noise level even though we were facing in the direction of the city. Because we were facing the city we had a stunning view onto a canal and the city as well."
