3-Star Hotels in Amsterdam

The first time I went to Amsterdam with my bestie, we arrived at the hotel at 8pm. It was by a very quiet river. I thought it was a remote location, but I didn't expect that the hotel was surrounded by attractions after walking around the next day: Anne Frank House and Tulip Museum, Church and Canal Yacht Center and Small Square. The front desk receptionist, the blonde sister, was warm and friendly. She introduced the room and catering and the condition of the elevator to be repaired. She also recommended local restaurants nearby and helped to make reservations. The Chinese boss did a good job in employee training. The surprise was that the small suite on the fourth floor not only faced the beautiful canal, but also had a hot water kettle that girls always wanted. I like the hotel's logo. The Western breakfast has a rich selection of hot and cold drinks. The restaurant environment is small and warm, and the illustrations on the background wall have a sense of déjà vu of campus blackboard newspapers. Because it was my birthday that day, my bestie took a group photo with the Polaroid provided by the hotel as a souvenir. The hotel staff, a beautiful long-legged sister, took the initiative to help, which was very nice. Check out on time at 11 am, and the luggage can be stored at the front desk. After taking a cruise 🚤 and visiting the city, we returned to the hotel, rested in the restaurant, ate freshly baked cakes, and drank hot ☕️. The front desk helped me call a taxi to the airport and gave me a bag of snacks before leaving. It was really thoughtful! Looking forward to coming back next time 😘

We found this after much research and felt like we’d stumbled on a beauty and boy were we not let down. This hotel was fantastic in every way. The building, design and decor was beyond quirky, the staff could not do enough for you and the room was perfect. The staff were so welcoming and the facilities were top notch and very clean. The bar and restaurant were reasonably priced and the baggage lockers were a great facility on our last day. Location-wise it was out of the hustle and bustle with a really nice short walk across from the free ferry behind the station, and felt very safe for a young family of 5. We stayed in a room with 5 bunk beds which were so comfortable. The room had a short and toilet and a small sink in the room. The air con was perfect in the 30+ degree May heat. There is a supermarket just around the corner for those essentials. We’d absolutely recommend and would certainly return again in the future.

At this hotel, Kennis at the front desk was the only one who was the most warm and polite 👍🏽 He was very kind to my daughter, and for two days in a row, no matter how busy he was, he would immediately stop what he was doing, rush into the staff room, and bring a little gift back for my daughter. There are many hotels here that don’t include free parking, and some are said to include it on travel sites, but after reading the reviews, it turns out there’s actually a parking fee. I’ve already done all my research, and even trip.com clearly says this Holiday Inn includes free parking. At check-in, I was told there would be a charge, but another staff member said it was free. Then at check-out, they suddenly said there would be a charge again, but in the end it was free. It was quite confusing. I also didn’t feel very safe. While I was asleep, it was very noisy outside the room. It sounded like people coming back after drinking, repeatedly pressing our doorbell and trying the handle to open the door. Luckily, I had the door double-locked and had also pushed a chair against it. The hotel explained that they may have pressed the wrong room by mistake and were not trying to get in to steal anything 🤔 Free breakfast at the hotel, but it was absolutely packed! The cutlery was really dirty, and I reckon they couldn’t get it washed in time. Also, they didn’t check any guest details at all, so it felt like people from the street next door could just walk in and eat without anyone noticing. There are food markets and budget supermarkets next to the hotel. A free ferry to and from the city centre is about a 10-minute walk away, with frequent services and a journey time of around 2 minutes.的

The location is fantastic, just a 5-minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal Station, making it super easy to find. The only downside is that check-in is on the second floor, and there's no elevator, which is really inconvenient if you're traveling with large luggage. However, stepping out of the hotel puts you right in the middle of shopping and dining options, which is incredibly convenient for tourists. Aside from the lack of an elevator, the hotel rooms are spacious and comfortable. If you don't have big bags, this is a great place to stay.

The design is the best I have seen so far, I am a budget traveler and I come here with my friend. Even though the room is really small and no window (it's so small that I cannot count it as one, even it cannot be opened) we had pleasant stay there. In my opinion up til three nights are enough, more than that I cannot really recommend. My friend and me are small sized person maybe for taller people it might feel like beautiful prison there. I meant it, BEAUTIFUL! One thing to work on: the air circulation, there's only one van. We need to open the door before we sleep or when we wake up and get ready. Other than that the staffs are really helpful!! And the bed is super clean, bed bugs free YAY.

We stayed for the Bruno Mars concert and the staffs were so friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was not so special but I’ve stayed in other Holiday Inn Express and they had better breakfast options. Nevertheless, it was a decent hotel to stay

The Hotel Library has an unbeatable location and room size! Spacious big bed, enough walking space in the room and nice bath/toilet size too. Location wise it is on the very main road - walking distance of 8-9 minutes from Centraal Station and opposite to the floating Chinese restaurant. The views of the road from our room were really amazing too. Its heater quickly heats up the room. TV is okay size and has few English channels - who doesn’t like to watch a TV in the hotel room before going to bed! Their room service is good - they make the bed and give fresh towels. There are few things that kind of take away one or two stars: - the elevator, though we are happy that they have one, but the one installed is very slow and you have to keep the buttons pressed and if you take the fingers off it stops midway - we asked for top floor since the views are always nicer from a height and they gave us the 3rd floor (top most) however, the hotel must clarify that after 2nd floor there is no elevator to the 3rd floor and to top it up, the stairs to the 3rd floor are so steep they reminded me of exercise called spiderman mountain climbers! - their room service team however do not clean the area around the kettle. We had sugar dropped and used cups kept and they wouldn’t clean on daily basis saying the cups are to be cleaned by the guests - this was shocking! I expect this to be part of cleaning duty irrespective whether i stay one night or four! - TV channels - out of the few that they have most of them wouldn’t air any content and just names of the channel which is quite irritating when you are given only two-thee channels to flip through. Overall i rate it a 3.5 / 5 for the staff at the reception were really polite - all of them! Happy to recommend this!

I stayed at a POD. Check-in was smooth. Bath towels cost extra, so it's probably a good idea to bring your own, or buy a microfiber towel at a supermarket or something. The cleanliness of the pod itself was perfectly fine, I think. Though it can be a bit noisy when other guests close their doors. What bothered me was the shower room. Firstly, it leaks easily. Be careful, as your shoes might get wet while you're showering due to the water leaking. Well, it's cheap, so I guess it's worth the price. I think it would be more comfortable with slippers.

The front desk staff are incredibly friendly. I also recommend it because the location is great!

This hotel is a convenient option for those who want to stay near Amsterdam but don't want to pay city prices. Getting there is very easy; it's just one Sprinter train stop outside the city center, and then an easy walk from the station to the hotel. The area around the hotel has plenty of amenities, with both a Spar and Jumbo supermarket nearby, making it very convenient to buy food, drinks, or essential items. However, one issue slightly dampened the overall experience: a scarf went missing in the hotel lobby and was not recovered, even after inquiring with the hotel. Therefore, I recommend keeping a close eye on your personal belongings in common areas. Overall, it's a hotel with convenient transport links, a good location, and plenty of shops nearby, but it's advisable to be more careful with your personal items and belongings.
