Holiday Inn Express Hotels in Amsterdam

We stayed a couple of nights in the hotel. It is large hotel with a nice lobby area and is quite new, about 2 years old. Everything is nicely decorated and fresh. There is a large breakfast selection. Be aware it is quite crowded during the late ours of the breakfast and on the weekends. The hotel is located a metro ride or a boat ride from the central station. The train cost 3.20 for one way, meanwhile the boat is free of charge (runs every 10 min). The walking distance to the boat and the metro station is similar (about 15 min). We preferred the boat ride.

The bedroom is spacious and heating bars in the toilet is excellent. Love the cleanliness of the room and hotel. Nice service staff in the breakfast room. The guy opened up the buffet breakfast at 6am for us, 14paxs to pack our breakfast for our onwards early journey to Paris. Tqvm ya🥰🙏. Strategic location, just beside the train station.

I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights on business. My experience was generally positive however there are some areas for consideration before you reserve. The hotel is a long walk with luggage from the train station. It is positioned in a street where one of your neighbours is a Red Cross centre. There are some issues with either homeless or fragile people in the area during the night. I am a 2m tall man so it does not bother me but it would not be the same if I was a woman. Upsides include the proximity of a large supermarket. The hotel itself is quite modern. I was in a room with a private terrace but it was actually in the basement so natural light was very limited. My room was comfortable and furnished according to the standards of the brand. The bathroom was clean and modern. My room did have a number of cobwebs on the ceiling which is in part, no doubt, due to being on level -1. The rooms are separated into several buildings joined by passageways so bear this in mind if you have a big suitcase, it may take a while to reach your room. The breakfast room is only open for breakfast which is a shame, since there is no restaurant (which is normal for the brand, no issues) and the space would be useful to eat (delivered or take away) dinner. At reception there are, in my opinion, too many people milling around. When I arrived it took a moment to raise their attention from chatting amongst themselves and get started on the paperwork, added to which after giving my passport they gave me someone else’s paperwork. Remember the first impression for a frequent traveller is how efficient you are - less people to chat with would mean more focus on the job. While I was there IHG suffered a well publicised data breach so I am not commenting on the issues regarding computer system failures. Finally, I would say this is a hotel which makes sense for a couple with little luggage and no work pressures.

Stayed here one night on IHG rewards points as a platinum member. Reception staff were super friendly, efficient and professional. The room was excellent on the 12th floor with great corner window views. Breakfast also good. I’d say this was one of the best express stays I’ve had. Sometimes this brand can be fairly low on the quality scale but this location is fantastic. Also, the let me store my bike in the luggage room of the holiday inn below.

Hotel is very clean and the staff seems friendly. Good hotel for transit. The tram line is close and the trip to the airport is fast and convenient.
