Guest Reviews and Hotel Ratings

Honest Guest Feedback Based on Real Stays

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently appreciate the Best Western Amsterdam's modern appearance, especially the lobby and dining areas. The location is convenient, with easy access to the city center via a nearby tram line and close proximity to supermarkets; some guests, however, have noted the city center to be slightly further than expected. Many highlight the spacious and clean rooms equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, and even a pizza machine for a quick bite. The comfortable beds and pillows are also a recurring positive, along with the hotel's close distance to Vondel Park.

EXCELLENT stay!

nice receptionpleasant staffgood breakfast

The location is near a tram line. A ten minute walk gets you there EASILY. The reception area looks very nice and the staff are pleasant. Breakfast had good selections and the room was quiet. I had a great time and look forward to returning.

The check in process was just a little slow, and I had to wait for a bit. it was eventually resolved.

I found the location quite convenient with tram and bus stops nearby. The tram made it easy to get to the central tourist sites. A buffet breakfast offered a decent start to the day and the beds were indeed comfortable. Getting to the hotel from the airport was straightforward, with a short taxi ride.

The hotel's proximity to the highway meant there was some noticeable noise.

The staff were very approachable. Location near a train station offered easy trips to the central area in about 20 minutes. I found the room very clean upon arrival. The hotel provided a good value overall.

The hotel did not replace used mugs. The cleaners took used towels away but did not supply new ones. This was an issue that I hope they address moving forward.
