Ibis Schiphol Amsterdam Airport ★★★
"The environment is just okay, but it's convenient for business trips with a shuttle bus. The hotel also has a restaurant and a small supermarket! However, there was no water in the room, and the facilities are a bit old."

"The hotel isn't too far from the station, about a 6-minute walk, but be aware that the road narrows if you're carrying luggage. There's a bus stop nearby (though it doesn't seem to go to the city center), and the metro and tram line 19 can take you downtown (convenient for the Van Gogh Museum). However, taking the train one stop to Amsterdam Centraal Station is easier (though it costs 3 Euros per trip). Overall, the hotel is quite good and clean, and the kitchen facilities are decent. We stayed for 7 nights during a heatwave, and thankfully, the room had central air conditioning (but the elevator doesn't). The check-in counter has a five-step design which is very inconvenient when dragging luggage. If you're in an inner room near the counter, it can be a bit noisy due to the metro!"

easyHotel Amsterdam Arena Boulevard ★★
"I stayed here for two nights as I was attending the ENHYPEN concert. Location is super convenient for concert goers, its a <10 minute walk from Ziggo Dome (and also near John Cruyff Arena and right next to AFAS Live) and right next to Bijlmer Arena station and Albert Heijn. However when I was staying there, the lock of the safe box was broken, which means I had to carry all my valuables with me everytime I went out and to the concert. Amenities were also limited, for example, hair dryer is only available upon request and they may not always have it available."
