The breakfast was incredible, loads of options, the beds were so comfortable, entire place was spotless, perfect location for the airport with the shuttle bus service, and not too long of a journey to Amsterdam centre, took just under an hour via bus and tram. But with the amazing scenery it soon flys by. The staff were very helpful, i’m an autistic person and they were very clear in their answers...

8/10 Good
"Breakfast was great, lots of variety for every taste, good coffee 😁. Clean room, just really small for 3 people. Check in was bumpy as the staff gave us the keys to a room with only a double bed and when I came down to report that they asked if there was really only one bed? Should the ey not know their layout? There was an apology but it did not feel very genuine. Mistakes happen but I felt as if I was bothering them."
