    Recommended Trip type: Business "Under construction"

    Reviewed by Steve of Pittsburgh on Sep 6, 2009

    This normally above average hotel is getting an aggressive facelift via heavy construction outside and minor inconveniences inside. In spite of all the construction, noise was kept to a minimum. For anyone visiting the AkzoNobel headquarters, the hotel has a free shuttle during morning and evening commute times that takes you door to door, which was a real plus, and the driver was an exceptionally great guy with loads of personality. What was disappointing was my room's mini bar remained completely empty the entire time I stayed, and since I was not sleeping well due to a significant time change I could have really used the service. Other than that I give the staff kudos for being very pleasant, helpful, and business-as-usual during a very aggressive makeover.

    The hotel is steel building site, the room was little bit dirty and the price is too expensive about that. 20-25min by tram to central station and cost 2.60 per hour-that is not so bad. The car park is not free cost 22euro per night.

    Just a short walk from the RAI center, this hotel was very convenient for our conference. Our room was super clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Staff were friendly, helpful, and professional. Breakfast buffet was superb every day. Easy access to trains and tram made travel to city center and to Schiphol Airport simple. When we return to Amsterdam, we will book this hotel again.

    The hotel was nice and clean and the staff was great. The hotel is within walking distance of the RAI station which can get you downtown and to the airport fairly easily. The really only thing to be aware of is that there is NOTHING right near the hotel so you have to take a tram if you want to see any sights or eat somewhere other than the restaurant.

    The hotel is undergoing expansion, so a bit messy in the lobby area at the moment. Aircondition worked almost to well. Took some time to get the right adjustment. Continental breakfast was a big plus, along with the free parking. Dinner was not something to recommend, and the dining area is more like a gymnastics hall, than a intimate restaurant. Hotel location is quite a distance to the city centre, about 20 minutes with the tram, about 2-300 meter away from hotel. Good for a family with car, who likes to relax out of the city noice. You come by airplane, stay in the city centre!
