"The hotel amenities was surprisely good. We enjoy our upgraded room and a welcome drink. We can left our luggages for 2 days during our short trip to Giethrone. The location was a bit isolated from everything but Bolt and Uber help make transportation easy for us. We enjoy our stay there"

"The hotel is next to the train station, so it can be quite noisy, but the location is super convenient for transportation. You can walk to the city center and the surrounding train stations are also easily accessible. The cleanliness was decent. The facilities are pretty basic, so don't expect anything too fancy."

Holiday Inn Express AMSTERDAM - SCHIPHOL by IHG ★★★
"The hotel is easy to get to from Slipp Airport basically a three minute train ride from the airport to the station and then a 10 minute walk so location is very convenient. The hotel itself is basic as can be expected. Comfort and cleanliness in acceptable. The only issue is that you need to pay local tax when you arrive and they do not accept cash so for the sake of one euro also I was nearly sleeping rough"

Nhow Amsterdam Rai ★★★★
"The hotel's location is incredibly convenient. It's about a 10 to 15-minute metro ride from Amsterdam Central Station to the hotel's metro stop, and then just a 5-minute walk to the hotel. If you're checking out and heading to the airport, it's only a 5-minute walk from the hotel to another nearby train station, and then just two stops directly to the airport. So, whether you're going to Dam Square or the airport, it's super easy!"

"In the countryside near the airport, breakfast needs to be purchased separately. The breakfast is so-so, but the coffee is good, and the night sleep is very quiet. The room is a bit small, you can stay for one night by plane."
