My husband and I chose this to be close to the airport for the night before leaving for home. The shuttle picked us up from the airport and took us to the hotel and we found a letter in our room telling us that the return shuttle would be 15 Euros for the two of us. In the morning, the dining room had a nice buffet which appeared to be included because guests just walked in and sat down. (there was no hostess or wait staff) We had coffee and my husband had a piece of toast because we planned to eat at the airport in the first class lounge. Upon checking out the staff at the front desk asked if we enjoyed breakfast and my husband said "Yes" and they charged us 20 Euro/perperson. RIDICULOUS! He talked them down to 10E. Our mistake but honestly, no buffet is worth 20Euro. We did have an upgrade for the room and I found it to be clean and comfortable. This hotel was chosen for convenience only and we stayed in a lovely hotel in Amsterdam the 5 days that we toured the city.
Superb hotel with class

Even though refurb going on, most brilliant hotel I ever stayed in.
Front office staff very welcoming and friendly!
Newly refurbished rooms were clean, modern and it's the best sleep I had in ages.
My partner and me travel a lot to Amsterdam for business and I think I found my new favorite hotel!
Would recommend to everyone.
I would NOT recommend this hotel

Worst hotel I've ever stayed at. There are many much nicer places to stay in the city centre. Very rude staff and it's a very dirty old hotel. Location was adequate, but the disrespect by staff and dirtiness far outweigh the one and only perk. They will not upgrade you even if you are Platinum and it id guaranteed upgrade to best room available. I do not believe any room at this hotel would be adequate for a Crowne Plaza....Do yourself and family a favor and stay anywhere else in Amsterdam...People in this city are very cordial and friendly except at this hotel!
Worst hotel Ive ever stayed in and I travel alot

There are nicer hostels in AMS...This is subpar by economoy standards, let alone crowne plaza. Rude front desk staff, housekeeping went through luggage andentered room even with do not disturb sign on door. Very dirty and disgusting hotel. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone. Many nicer, cheaper hotels.
HORRIBLE HOTEL-----DO NOT STAY HERE

Front desk staff and management very rude
they charge americans extra fees for no reason and refuse to remove them
staff will enter room with do not disturb sign on door
housekeeping will go through your luggage and drawers
do yourself a favor..Run away from this hotel
i travel 100+ nights a year and this is the worst hotel ive ever stayed in and thats over 30 years of travel experience
this place is pathetic for a budget hotel, let alone a crowne plaza
stay ay hilton or one of many nicer, friendlier hotels in amsterdam
