Corendon Urban Amsterdam Schiphol Airport Hotel

8/10 Good
"Gave only 4 stars because when I went to check in, they told us were staying next door in the Residence Inn. It was part of the Corendon Hotel. But after hauling in all our luggage after a long day of traveling, then standing in a long line to be told we needed to check in the next door hotel, didn't make us very happy. Residence Inn room was like a studio apt but huge and was sparkly clean. We had to go next door to the Corendon to buy beer & snacks. Didn't feel up to eating at Corendon restaurant. Definitely, would stay there again. Note: There is a hotel shuttle to hotel from airport (no ticket req'd, however, it costs 5 euro from hotel to airport. You can purchase online or at front desk."

"The property couldn’t have been more centrally located. Absolutely 10/10 for location. The first room we had was fine until 4am one day and this awful noise began coming from beneath the sink. Some sort of electrical fuse that was emitting noise. We were moved to another room that was next to the kitchen so that was fine until about 6am when they began prepping for breakfast. Aside from that- it was clean and was adequate for what Americans would expect. Staff was helpful despite the 4am move and from kitchen both responses: we are sorry about that"

"We had a great 2-night stay at the Volkshotel. The staff were always pleasant and very helpful. The ground-floor cafe was nice and very convenient. (Good to know: When we were there, on weekends, the hotel restaurant and cafe only opened for breakfast at 8 a.m. It seems to be an Amsterdam thing as nothing close by was open either.) Because we were heading out on an excursion, we found a place open for coffee closer to our excursion meeting point. I also liked the location of the hotel. It is in an interesting neighbourhood and within easy reach of the metro. When I made our booking I was a little concerned that we would be older than the usual clientele, but I needn’t have worried. The hotel staff make sure all feel welcome. And bonus! We were offered a free upgrade from a cabin to a room with a bathroom. Very nice!"
