Bilderberg Garden Hotel
"This is the 2nd visit to this hotel, it would be nice if they mention that the restaurant isn’t open in the summer when booking, breakfast was nice, rooms are nice just a shame about the restaurant not open of a lunchtime or evening"

Hotel ibis Schiphol Amsterdam Airport
"Reasonably close to the Schiphol airport; can be reached via the hotel's airport shuttle (free of charge) & at least a bus that goes from downtown. Very friendly, patient, and competent staff. It would be helpful if there could be an electric kettle in the room."

citizenM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol
"Checkin was self service only but the system so poorly set up had to find a staff member not once but twice to correct it. When turning up for a short overnight layover this reduced minutes in bed"
