"Central location"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 6, 2012
The Convent Hotel is located on one of the main streets in Amsterdam and within easy walking distance to the Centraal Train station and Dam Square-so public transportation is a snap. The hotel is well kept and the staff is very friently. The one complaint about the staff is that they do not seem very knowledgeable about typical tourist activities in Amsterdam and we didn't find a concierge staff member to help with some of our questions. Our booking through hotels.com did not include the breakfast, which looked wonderful and was expensive, so we found a lovely little care within a block or two from the hotel for our breakfasts. Lots of tours seem to use the hotel, so the staff is very comfortable speaking in English with everyone.The entrance to the hotel faces the very busy street, but the rooms are all in the back of the hotel and are very quiet. We enjoyed our stay. I would suggest trying to get the breakfast included in the hotel price.

"Easy walk to must see sights"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
The hotel was clean, nice, the staff friendly and helpful, especially the Concierge. The location was great, within walking distance of many restaurants, and things to see in Amsterdam.

great location, but room was tiny and no A/C
"Lovely staff, great location"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 4, 2012
The room was very small and a bit tight for friends. It would be nice for a couple. But the room had a cozy private terrace. And the staff was wonderful! The two desk personnel we encountered were helpful, went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed for a great visit and made a point of having what we needed before we knew we needed it. The hotel was clean, the food just right and always a fresh cup of coffee waiting for us. I would return without thinking twice.

It’s a modern efficient gateway, well signposted, boasting good shops and the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam Schiphol, which houses a small number of works from the Rijksmuseum. Within the terminal a train station provides a fast frequent service to the city centre and outlying areas. Taxis and airport-to-hotel shuttle services are also available.

From the road, or highway actually, this hotel doesn't look like much. Don't let that fool you, it's a very nice place to spend the night with good quiet rooms. The restaurant was also very good.
"A problematic stay"
I arrived at about 10:00 PM on the shuttle bus from the train station. I am elderly, and recently had surgery, so am slow and need assistance. The desk clerk was very friendly, but told me there was no bellman. I would have to find my own way to my room, which was at the end of the hall in the 800 series. I had to take 2 elevators, and go up an inclne. […] As I had all my luggage, it was quite challenging, and took more than 15 minutes. I got to the room to find that the telephone did not connect me with the desk (to request help for the AM), so I had to do it all over again early in the morning to make the 6 AM bus to Schiphol. What a tough way to start a long journey! The hotel is not as close to the terminal as advertised. I wish I had known that I would have the difficulty, and I would have asked for a special disability room. I would not recommend that any of my friends from Florida stay there before a flight. The room itself was lovely, but the inconvenience of the route to the sleeping areas, and the two elevators, makes it a poor choice for a retiree. Read more

"My first overnight stay in Amsterdam"
Flying from Sweden back to San Francisco...I was required to stay overnight in Amersterdam. I looked for a hotel near the airport that had a convenient shuttle service and restaurant. altho9ugh married I was traveling alone and security was an issue for me as well as convenience. This hotel met all of my requirements. The restaurant I was told was under […] construction and the staff apologized for any inconvenience but I found none...the restaurant was lovely, the staff attentive an I was seated at a lovely window table. The prices were a little on the high side but not outrages and the wine pricing was comparible to other restaurant I've eaten in. Wi-Fi was frustrating for me (perhaps my tablet) and their internet service was pricey for 15 minutes. However, I found everything else to be outstanding. Thank you....Anna S. Read more

"quad family room"
The hotel was used as a last night stop before an early flight. The room for the 4 of us was large and clean. It opened up on to the grass so our little one could play right outside the room and chase bunnies! Nice pool, and food/gas steps away (KFC/ BURGER KING) The free parking is a plus! WOuld definately stay again. The only negative...we were 20 […] minutes early for check in and they wanted to charge us 15 euro....needless to say we just hung out for 20 minutes!! odd!! Read more
"Not close to airport"
The hotel is nice, but not very close to Schiphol. The GPS in the rental car could not find it. Located next to a highway rest area with a service station and restaurants. Make sure you fill up the tank before going to the hotel because you cannot access the service station from the hotel unless you drive the wrong way on a couple of one way street […] s. Read more
"Schiphol A4 Hotel"
The shuttle bus goes ~ every 40 minutes and the drive from the airport ends up being 10-25 minutes. the hotel is huge. They have large banquet rooms and the night I was there a large party maybe a wedding was going on with a nightclub in one room with very loud music that I could still hear in my room which was 2 floors up. I slept OK however and thought […] the hotel was OK. The decor in the rooms is a little tired. Not my favorite hotel but I did get a good night's rest and the shuttle bus ran on schedule. Read more
"Hotel Schipol easy to access and good for families"
Travelled with an overnight layover before a transatlantic flight. Accompanied by husband and two kids (7, 10). Quad room was generously sized and beds were comfortable. We took the shuttle back to the airport to catch the train into Amsterdam, wandered around and caught a train/shuttle back to the hotel. That part wasn't quite as convenient as staying […] in town, but the ease of luggage transfer and the short shuttle ride for the AM flight was appreciated. Shuttles run every 40 minutes and it's about a 10 min ride to Schipol. Room was v quiet despite location on freeway and so near flight path. Large bathtub and separate shower, lots of built in storage. Overall a comfortable stay. Didn't have a chance to check out the pool, but I would expect it was fine. Service at desk was friendly and efficient. Took less than a minute to check out. Carpet was a bit worn and the AC emitted a high pitched squeal, but really a no-stress 24-hour stay in NL. Read more
"Hotel Schiphol A4"
Very nice hotel for price and convenient shuttle to/from the airport. My wife, teenage daughters and I stayed in one of the family rooms and loved the size and layout of the room. The negatives were that the bathroom smelled like stale urine/beer and the pool temperature was frigid.
"Dutch Countryside"
It has been awhile since we returned home,giving me more time to think of our stay. I give this hotel a "5" in almost all categories. I especially loved the breakfast buffet. Expensive, but such an array of Dutch foods, meats, cheese and baked goods.

"4star??"
1. wi-fi for payment( it is bad) 2. Far from Amsterdam but shuttle service to-from airport 10~15 min so not a big issue. 3. Huge hotel but it does not mean you will get high quality service. But I don't mean this hotel is bad, but if you are thinking this hotel is nice by just looking through hotel explanation in website, it might be wrong.
"Good airport hotel"
Good hotel. Not close to anything (it's literally in a highway service plaza), but shuttle service to Schiphol Airport is convenient and reliable. Very accommodating staff. AMAZING brand new pool and wellness center. Definitely check it out.
"Good location, easy to get to."
I liked the ease of getting to and from the airport with the hotel shuttle. The hotel is clean and the staff was good.
"great"

"Definitely NOT four stars!"
There was an extra fee for early check-in and the hotel was definitely not 4 stars...2.5, but not 4. Also, they did not clean the room the second day.

"Hotel Schiphol A4 Amsterdam"
Non smoking room was full of cigarette burn marks in furniture and carpets, patios full of cigarette buds, this in 2 rooms! No nasal tissues supplied. As a contrast, dining food and service was excellent. Staff was very polite.

Very convenient shuttle service to Schiphol. Attractive and comforatable accomodations. Reasonable rates.

"Comfortable stay before your flight"
The hotel was quiet and comfortable. When I had trouble with the internet, the staff was incredibly nice. As a woman, traveling alone, I felt really safe.
"Outstanding hotel"
My friend and I booked this hotel when we were in a bind the night before we stayed there. We had booked some rooms earlier in our trip through hotels.com and were able to get one free night. We ended up paying a ridiculously cheap rate for our room. The staff was great and courteous. The bartender was hilarous. They have a great restaurant, bar, and […] internet cafe all located in the hotel. Although they house a lot of people, the staff makes sure to make you feel like you are their most important guest. There is a food court located a couple hundred feet away from the hotel, and a free shuttle to and from the airport. You can hop a train from there to Amsterdam Centraal and the hotel gives you a free map and tour guide of that area. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Read more
"Great room for the money"
This hotel is a 15minutes drive from the airport with the hotel shuttle.The shuttle leaves every forty minutes to and from schiphol.The hotel staff was very kind and helpful.The hotel restaurant and bar was also excellent with a wide variety of dishes on the menu.Television was free of charge and for 5euros you can use the internet.The room was clean […] with a walk in shower and a private patio with two chairs.There is an indoor swimming pool.There are restaurants outside the hotel which is a two minute walk if you did not wanted to dine in the hotel restaurant. We enjoyed our two day stay at this hotel and will recommend it highly. Read more

"Great experience"
The hotel was very elegant and had excellent ambience. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The frequent shuttle service from the hotel to Schiphol Airport was excellent. Breakfast buffet is very good. The standard rooms did not have kettles or a tiny refridgerator which I did expect.
"Excellent!"
I am very glad to have chosen Van der Valk Schiphol A4. The staff was very courteous, friendly and informative. The room was excellent; clean, comfortable and spacious.

"Van der Valk Hotel - close to Amsterdam Airport"
The hotel was convenient and very comfortable. The only drawback was no room service, as we had been delayed by snow and everywhere was closed.
They tried to fake us from the very first moment, they charged 12% of taxes instead 6%. The toilet smelled like pee, we had to request for toilet tissue 3 times in 2 hours and the recepcionist replied in a bad mood. Amsterdam has plenty of swindlers, they ruined the last part of our trip. I won't definitively be back in Netherlands.

Great lobby, great staff, great shuttle to and from airport, great restaurants in the area, nice heated pool.

"Hotel Schiphol A4 outside Amsterdam"
There was no coffee or tea or extra toilet paper in the room. There was also nowhere to hang your towel in the room where the toilet was. The carpets looked used & abused however, the rooms were enormous. Lots of room for children to play. Some of the lamps were also not working but overall a comfortable place to stay. Busiest hotel I've ever seen. […] If you don't know the parrot image that accompanies the hotel sign when viewed from the highway A4, then you may miss the turn-off. The building should have A4 on it so that you can see it from the highway. Read more
"Great Value on a Plush Hotel!"
A great hotel with plush comfortable rooms and nice accommodations! It was a little further from the Schiphol Airport than I expected since I was only there for layover, but shuttle service was good as it wasn't too far. The most cost effective way to get to downtown Amsterdam was to take the shuttle back to the airport, then take the train into Central […] Station. If returning late (after 11:30pm), you'll need to take train back to airport, then a cab to the hotel. Cab fare is expensive. Recommend. Read more

Camera familiare molto spaziosa con 2 letti matrimoniali. Il bagno non era all'altezza di un hotel 4 stelle.
