- “Then, of course, how can I forget that view from our room. Perfectly and totally Amsterdam!” 6
- “The best: guided by some forum members and thanks to the good review on this page, we chose this hotel and it was a complete success. We requested a room on a high floor and were given one on the 7th floor of the annex building, with impressive views of the rear canal and centraal station.” 12

- “Each bed is a "sweet bed," an ibis bed that is tested through research to provide you with the best night's sleep possible and I can vouch that this is, in fact, true! From the high-tech mattress to the cocooning effect of the pillow and duvet, I slept like a baby.” 6

- “It is on a quiet side street, easily accessible to the trams and Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh, Moco and Stedilijk. Also, there is an airport bus that drops you less than two blocks from the hotel. They have the best breakfast included in the price...best pancakes and eggs I think I have ever had!” 8
- “I am in my 60's and I have stayed there several times in the last couple of years. It is a basic cookie cutter hotel with an excellent breakfast selection. Be sure you are aware whether your room rate includes breakfast or not because they do check.” 25

Location27 mentions
- “Or another central area where the bridges and canals are pretty? We really liked Hotel Brouwer. It's modest, but very clean and well priced with a nice breakfast. All rooms overlook a canal! It's very centrally located.” 8
- “The best part: the location is unbeatable, both for arriving from the airport and then moving around the city.” 12
- “I like the Hampton but it isn't walkable to anything you'd want to see though it is very accessible to transportation.” 15
- “Lovely hotel in the most convenient location.” 12
- “I loved staying in the Museum district last year at the Hotel Piet Hein, borders on one end of Vondelpark and thus quiet at night, lovely neighborhood feel and plenty of food and drink in the immediate area.” 8
- “ibis Amsterdam Centre Stopera is a centrally located and affordable hotel for anyone with a need to get out and explore Amsterdam because it's not only near Centraal Station, but also Rembrandtplein and Waterloopein metro stations, too.” 6
- “Hi I stayed in the flying pig hostel in april and got 5 nights for 164 euro. Location is excellent and they had a good bar and smoking area” 9
- “The Hampton Inn is no where near the city center. It's next to the soccer stadium which is in the outskirts of the city.” 15
- “I've stayed at Hotel Brouwer, too. Great location.” 8
- “Yes I agree the Ibis hotels are all uniform basic clean. You can get anywhere in Amsterdam from that location on foot or using the tram.” 25
- “The ibis Amsterdam Centre Hotel is located next to the Centraal train station in Amsterdam. As such, its location is ideal for exploring the area around the train station, and you can make connections from the station to pretty much anywhere in the Amsterdam area or beyond.” 21
- “I have stayed at Citizen M hotel twice. Can't get any closer to the airport and the train station under the airport, it's a 5 minute walk.” 14
- “The hotel's location is ideal for train excursions to delft, the hague, utrecht, etc.” 12
- “In general, and to summarize, a success because of its central location and the possibilities for public transport connection, although you can explore the center on foot from there.” 12
- “The best: excellent location, very comfortable, clean, excellent staff, a very complete breakfast. The worst: just a little more space to store clothes.” 12
- “I stayed at the Hotel Bouwer. It was very convenient to the train station. I had flight out to the UK and was easily able to walk to the train and then catch my flight.” 13
- “Good hotel both in terms of facilities and location and cleanliness.” 12
- “Hotel very well located, next to the central station.” 12
- “It is away from the crowds in a neighborhood setting, yet close to everything in the museum section by walking a block, and the rest of the city via tram (or walking). The owners are very upbeat and helpful.” 8
- “A great central location for starting to explore amsterdam. Handy for trains to the airport and trams and metro to get around the city.” 12
- “We stayed at an airbnb in the De Pijp area - it was actually great because there were tons of restaurants, we were only a minute walk to the tram that was about 4-5 stops from Museumplein (abt 5 min), and there seemed to be a tram line going in (finishing construction when we were there - not sure if new or being repaired) that went right to the first of the canals and maybe beyond.” 8
- “Absolutely fantastic location.” 12
- “The hotel enjoys an unbeatable location near amsterdam central station, which provides easy access to many of the city's points of interest.” 12
- “It is 5 min walk from the Anne Frank house, red light district, many restaurants, shopping, etc. It is located on a quiet street and the owner lives on a separate/upper floor, is quite hospitable and leaves you to your own unless you require assistance.” 15
- “The location is excellent.” 12
- “My family stayed in two rooms at the Ibis Airport. Rooms and connections were fine, although that was five years ago.” 14
- “The official taxi stand at Schiphol is very close to the terminal. We stayed one night at the Airport Hilton which is connected to the airport by a covered moving walkway. It was great.” 14
Value10 mentions
- “We had a comparable ibis hotel in Paris for half the daily cost of this hotel! We found the price for the ibis Amsterdam Centre hotel to be competitive with other hotels in the area in its class.” 21
- “I am in my 60's and I have stayed there several times in the last couple of years. It is a basic cookie cutter hotel with an excellent breakfast selection. Be sure you are aware whether your room rate includes breakfast or not because they do check.” 25
- “I have stayed at the Rho Hotel twice in the last 5 years. Last time this past July. And I thought it was excellent! Just a few steps from Dam Square. The Hotel also includes a very nice breakfast in the room rate, and also has an elevator.” 15
- “Till now the best bang for the buck hotel we found is the ibis Amsterdam Centre Stopera which would cost us ~€55 per person per night without breakfast. The price is good however we would like to consider other options before purchasing.” 9
- “I have stayed in many Ibis hotels and found them uniformly devoid of character but with highly competent staff, functioning services, and reasonable prices.” 14
- “Overall, I find it a good value for my money.” 25
- “The location is okay. Very convenient for ongoing trips. But it is a very crowded area, and restaurants and shops very close by are generally bad or overpriced.” 25
- “If you are up for a B&B . Our favorite hotel in Europe is Hotel Schiphol out by the airport. It's especially well priced--a value.” 15
- “It is on a quiet side street, easily accessible to the trams and Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh, Moco and Stedilijk. Also, there is an airport bus that drops you less than two blocks from the hotel. They have the best breakfast included in the price...best pancakes and eggs I think I have ever had!” 8
- “Check out the Bulldog. It's centrally located and while it is a hostel, they offer cheap, private rooms as well.” 9
Room11 mentions
- “Then, of course, how can I forget that view from our room. Perfectly and totally Amsterdam!” 6
- “Comfortable bed and room.” 12
- “The best: guided by some forum members and thanks to the good review on this page, we chose this hotel and it was a complete success. We requested a room on a high floor and were given one on the 7th floor of the annex building, with impressive views of the rear canal and centraal station.” 12
- “The rooms are very small, a lot of heat builds up, the air doesn't flow, so it's necessary to open the window.” 12
- “The rooms are named after Dutch artists. We had the very large, corner Van Gogh room and were quite happy.” 8
- “With 4 adults, the room was almost as large as a house--with 2 leather couches on top of the beds.” 15
- “The main problem we had with the room was the heat. There was no working air conditioning in this area of the hotel, and the windows don't open in the family rooms.” 21
- “The room is cozy with a very spacious and comfortable bed.” 12
- “The room featured the Sweet Bed by ibis (a double) as well as bunk beds for our kids. The bed was pretty comfortable and it was certainly large enough for two.” 21
- “Very bright hotel with minimalist decor.” 12
- “The room is just the right size, but very comfortable, with tv and international channels, very clean in general.” 12
Bathroom3 mentions
Noise6 mentions
- “The rooms are clean, well soundproofed, and decorated in a modern and cozy way.” 12
- “This was the view from our window: Fortunately, I like trains. You can hear the trains arriving and departing from the adjacent track but none of us found the noise to be disturbing.” 21
- “On the flip side the rooms are 100% sound proof which is important as the hotel is literally built on top of the train tracks servicing Centraal Station.” 25
- “The worst part: if you get a room facing the tracks, be prepared to hear a lot of station noise (trains, announcements, etc.) or not to be able to open the window even if you're dying from the heat.” 12
- “I found Haarlem inconvenient. We visited Amsterdam again this past March and stayed at the Hotel Fita in the Museumplein. It is on a quiet side street, easily accessible to the trams and Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh, Moco and Stedilijk.” 8
- “I have not noticed much noise at night, the rooms I have stayed in seem to be soundproofed well.” 25
Food13 mentions
- “Additionally, they offer a great buffet breakfast.” 12
- “The BEST breakfasts we have ever had... and amazing desserts/treats daily.” 15
- “One day we both felt like having soup before going out to explore and so I had a bowl of asparagus soup from the hotel restaurant, which I have to say was hot and delicious.” 6

- “Abundant breakfast buffet (without toasted bread!).” 12

- “Last week I had a good stay at the Avenue Hotel. It had an excellent breakfast and an ice machine!” 15

- “The breakfast is very good.” 12

- “The best, the breakfast and the restaurant. The worst, that the bathroom is quite small.” 12

- “The worst: a receptionist seemed a bit conceited to me, i did not like his attitude.” 12

- “The reception staff were very friendly, spoke several languages (spanish), and offered maps and alternative excursions.” 12
- “I received a response from the hotel manager, who let me know that the air conditioning was indeed not working during our visit but was fixed after we left. He offered to rebate one night's costs to compensate for our discomfort, which was very much appreciated.” 21
