Citiez Hotel Amsterdam

Citiez Hotel Amsterdam

10/10 Excellent
"ive stayed at this hotel twice, two years in a row same weekend as I annually make a trip out to the Netherlands every year, and this is the most budget friendly, insanely incredible location for a hotel, and the cheapest room is justttt right in size, very cozy in my opinion. It's located in a very safe town, extremely low crime rate basically no crime at all, probably the most peaceful area of Amsterdam ive been in overall. its right next to a McDonald's, Taco Bell, two mainline supermarkets / grocery outlets (Jumbo & Albert Heijn), an absolutely amazing Coffeeshop/ Cannabis store like 10 minutes down the road by foot if thats your thing cuz i know its mine, and its right next to a bus station that will take you straight to Amsterdam Centraal in around 30 minutes, straight shot bus no worries about transferring if its your first time taking transport. Incredible staff, as helpful as can be with no language barrier trouble at all, and even if there was thats what makes traveling fun cmon. awesome hotel, highly recommend for anyone planning to stay around the general Amsterdam area often."
