ibis Amsterdam Centre

ibis Amsterdam Centre

10/10 Excellent
"We loved how centrally and conveniently located this property was, close to both the train station and Amsterdam city centre. We were travelling with a family group, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The bar and lobby were lively, trendy, and spacious—a great place for our group to relax and connect. Our only concern was that, despite having two rooms for our family and teenage children, the hotel was unable to place the rooms closer together during our three-night stay. The hotel has two buildings, and we had to use two different lifts to reach the other room, which wasn’t very convenient when travelling with children. It would be great if the hotel could be a little more accommodating to families travelling together. Aside from that, everything was amazing. The atmosphere was fun and lively, the staff were lovely, and we would definitely recommend this hotel."
