CAMPANILE HOTEL & RESTAURANT AMSTERDAM ZUID-OOST, Amsterdam

Gaasperplas Metro Station (line 53) is a one-minute walk from reception, with trains every 15 minutes to Amsterdam Central Station. Bus 47 connects to Bijlmer Arena in about 15 minutes. The Ziggo Dome and Heineken Music Hall are a five-minute drive away, or a 20-minute bus ride. The hotel is located on the edge of a quiet residential area next to Gaasperplas park and lake, offering a green setting despite being just off the A9 motorway. On-site parking costs €7.50 per day (free until September 2024), but spaces cannot be reserved; a free public car park is available 600 metres away. The location is practical for car travellers and event-goers, with metro access making the city centre easily reachable without a vehicle.

The hotel offers double, twin, and triple rooms, as well as one family room. Each room has a private entrance (motel-style), a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, hairdryer, and complimentary toiletries. In-room amenities include an electric kettle, tea/coffee tray, flat-screen TV, and wardrobe. Some rooms feature updated superior finishes such as rainfall showers and modern decor, while standard rooms are more basic and can feel compact. Rooms have no air conditioning or ceiling fan; windows can be opened inward, and external roller shutters are provided for darkness. Soundproofing is limited, and road-facing rooms may experience noise from the motorway or outside corridors. Mosquitoes can be an issue near the lake, especially in warmer months. Light levels vary: some rooms are described as dim, with limited electrical sockets (no socket in the bathroom). There is no refrigerator or safe in the room; a shared fridge is available in the lobby. The overall atmosphere is practical and budget-oriented, with cleanliness and maintenance varying. Rooms are cleaned daily, but housekeeping consistency is occasionally noted.

Breakfast is a continental buffet with bread, pastries, cold cuts, cheese, and hot drinks. It is available at an additional cost (around €18 per person) and may or may not be included in your booking-check your reservation confirmation. A simpler, cheaper breakfast option (e.g., bread and a drink) may be available on request. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, with à la carte evening menus featuring international and Dutch dishes. There is also a bar serving drinks in a casual setting. A kid-friendly buffet is available, and special diet menus can be arranged on request (though gluten-free options are confirmed only via prior arrangement-no dedicated gluten-free buffet). The tree-shaded terrace is a pleasant spot for outdoor dining. The hotel also has a vending machine for drinks and snacks. Guests who prefer a fuller culinary experience can find several cafés and restaurants within a short walk of the hotel.

The hotel does not have a spa, swimming pool, or fitness centre. For outdoor activity, Gaasperplas park and lake are directly next to the property, offering a large green area for jogging, walking, or cycling. Bicycle rental is available (for an additional charge), and cycling is a popular way to explore the area. Golf is available within 3 km, and a tennis court is located off-site (additional charge). The on-site sun terrace and outdoor furniture provide quiet spots for relaxing. The shared lounge/TV area and board games/puzzles offer low-key indoor entertainment.

The 24-hour reception handles check-in, check-out, and luggage storage (free of charge). Late arrivals after 23:30 can ring a bell for the night porter. Daily housekeeping is included. A minimarket on site sells essentials, and vending machines offer drinks and snacks. The shared lounge/TV area has board games and table football. Electric vehicle charging stations are available (both on-site and off-site). Business facilities include fax/photocopying (additional charge). Accessibility: the hotel has a ramp at the entrance, lower bathroom sinks, raised toilets, and grab rails; however, some rooms may require assistance with blinds and doors. The lift serves upper floors (note: occasionally under maintenance). Pets are allowed only in ground-floor rooms with prior request and a €10 nightly fee; they cannot be left alone in the room. The hotel provides pet bowls. No air conditioning, no in-room phone, no safe, and no iron (shared iron may be available on request). Bicycle storage is available at one's own risk.
