"Ibis Red is perfect for an overnight stay before flying. The shuttle buses could maybe run a little more often. We had to wait 45 minutes at the airport for a shuttle to come by. But it was great the next morning when it left on time to get us to the airport for our flight. Two nice eating options on the premises. Very good experience"
"The room was clean but very small (which I knew when I booked it). The location near the water and train station were important to me. The price was reasonable given the high costs in Amsterdam. Check-in was slow and the reception area was not organized or staffed adequately. Check-out was easy since I did it online. I wanted to use the luggage lockers but received different information on cost and space from two different receptionists. Ended up not using them as a result."
"This was a short walk to and from the central train station, so was easy to get in and out of. I wouldn't bring large luggage, though, because the cobblestone streets are hard to maneuver with wheeler bags.
I loved the location and could walk around the city freely. It's a short hop to canal tours, the red light district, and a lot of restaurants! You are about 1 mile (1.6 km) from the big art museums or the casino, so that's a bit further. But, there are plenty of shops to stop at along the way or you can enjoy a walk along the numerous canals.
The only gripe about my stay is that my room was on the ground level right next to the main strip, so there was noise from outside until about 1 am. And, then a huge delivery truck stopped right outside my window at 7am. If you aren't on the ground floor, you'll probably really appreciate this hotel and the location."
"We selected this property because of the reviews and its location right next to the Schipol Airport, as our flight home was in the morning. And we were not disappointed! The accommodations were quite modern and rooms were compact but comfortable for 2 people. (Almost all functions such as lights & tv were controlled by an ipad in the room!) And the various areas on the main floor were bright and comfortable to work or relax in. The breakfast was A+ in quality and time available, and I would highly recommend. We would definitely stay again."
"The location is excellent, and despite it being in the busiest part of the city, you couldn't really hear it from inside the room. Room was comfortable enough, though I'd say the room was reasonably basic. Room was clean, and the linens were of good quality.
Staff were super friendly and helpful."
"Our stay in this hotel has been really good. Its location, steps away from the Central Square and one block from one of the main Subway stations, is perfect. The hotel is also about 10 blocks away from Amsterdam "Centraal" train station which has direct service from and to the airport as well as many locations surrounding Amsterdam like Zaanse Schans to see four wonderful windmills on you own. The room was clean although in need of more places to accommodate luggage and personal stuff. They have a nice breakfast buffet and WiFi service. Hotel staff was very nice."
