Tim Captures Moments
October 10, 2025
We stayed two nights at Jazz in the City Hotel in Amsterdam. The hotel itself was modern, clean, and comfortable, with all the facilities we needed. Check-in was smooth and the room was great, though we did notice a slight clicking noise from the lights cooling down at night, which was a bit distracting after a long flight.
The location is outside the city centre, near the arena, so it’s best suited for events there rather than sightseeing. It’s a fair walk from the nearest train station and a little tricky to find at first. One tip: the ticket machines at the station only accepted cash, not cards, which made things difficult for us when we first arrived (especially on a Sunday when other da ticket options were closed). Luckily, we’d already bought a 24-hour ticket the day before, which allowed us to travel again and then sort out new tickets later.
Breakfast wasn’t included, so we just grabbed food in town each day. Overall, a solid and comfortable stay if you don’t mind being outside the city centre, and with a bit of planning for tickets it works well as a budget-friendly base for Amsterdam.
