CITY HOTEL AMSTERDAM, Amsterdam

The hotel sits on Prins Hendrikkade, a 5- to 10-minute walk east of Central Station, providing a direct train link to Schiphol Airport with trains every 10-15 minutes. Dam Square, the Red Light District, and the main shopping street are all within a short walk. The neighbourhood is quieter than the busiest tourist zones, but still central enough to walk to most attractions. The hotel has no parking; the nearest public garage (Parking Centrum Oosterdok) is a 10-minute walk and costs around €25 for 24 hours, with cheaper long-stay options at P+R Zeeburg. A tram stop is located directly in front for easy city access.

The breakfast buffet includes pastries and croissants, fresh ham and chicken, cheese, tomatoes and cucumbers, sausages, scrambled eggs, hard-boiled eggs, cereals, juices, and coffee. The hotel also offers kid-friendly buffet options, a snack bar, and drinks at the bar which stays open until 01:00. There is no restaurant on-site, but several dining options are within a 5- to 10-minute walk, including Italian, Thai, and Surinamese restaurants. Breakfast can be taken as a packed bag if you have an early departure. The breakfast area can feel crowded, and the coffee machine may sometimes be out of order.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms. The 24-hour front desk can arrange early check-in or late check-out on request. Free luggage storage is available before check-in and after checkout. A concierge service and tour desk offer free city maps and guides. Daily housekeeping is free, but may not always include a full clean (beds made, towels changed). The lift serves only certain floors - it reaches the second floor, but the third floor requires a steep staircase. Key card access provides security, along with CCTV in common areas and a safety deposit box in each room. An iron and ironing board are available on request. No pets are allowed.
