The hotel is modern and well maintained. The room was very comfortable, clean, and quiet. The hotel is located about 10-15 minutes from the airport by shuttle. The only problem was that my Hotels.com reservation indicated that taxes were included in the rate I paid, and when I pointed this out to hotel check out staff, I was told I had to pay the tax […] directly to the hotel anyway.

Positives: Free Wifi throughout the hotel, satisfactory breakfast, free transportation from the airport to the hotel (unlimited uses so you can always get a ride back to the hotel from the airport if you have been out exploring), nice clean and new rooms, incredibly friendly and helpful staff, great price. Negatives: 7.50 euro per person for a ride […] from the hotel to the airport (nearest train station is a 5-10 min walk from the hotel), 10 min walk to nearby restaurants (many restaurants deliver to the hotel), located in an office park. I will probably stay in Haarlem if we came back to the Netherlands for vacation, although this hotel exceeded all of our needs and was excellent over all. Read more

Other than being in a business district this hotel served our needs. It was consistent with the many Holiday Inn's I've stayed. The breakfast was a tad closer to american style offering prepackaged foods and a smaller selection. All in all it was a pleasant experience and convenient (by train) to Schilphol.

The price structure is layered so many levels, that there is always some extra unexpected cost. Addition to that they double charged my and on my credit card statement indicates twice the amount which I was told the extras would be. It might be a simple conversion error. nevertheless i would prefer to pay once for a room and have all basic services […] included. Why would they offer complimentary shuttle service from the airport, and than charge for the way going back to the terminal. Their cost for the trip is more than three times the cost of a local bus service. It is just plain wrong. The advice received at the desk ended up costing me much more than the same service is available in the city. This is not convenience it is misleading. Very disappointed.... Read more

My only complaint was with the shuttle service from Schiphol. I found the driver to be inattentive in the pickup process. I would have missed this shuttle had I not banged on the side of the van.

New hotel with comfortable bed and pillows. Quiet location. Shower easy to adjust temperature and pleasing water pressure. Free Internet access which was easy to connect, reliable and fast speed. Excellent staff who are friendly and knowledgable regarding local attractions and public transportation.

The hotel is nice the only things I didnt like are the location, not near food or a more commercial area and the dont have an internal restaurant which is very incovenient.

Clean, spacious rooms, fast Internet and great breakfast...highly recommended!

Good clean hotel, with easy commute to Amsterdam. Staff were friendly hotel was clean and comfortable beds. The breakfast wasn't great but still enjoyable.

This was exactly what I was looking for! It is a new building, close to the airport, and in a very quiet neighborhood close to a nice town, Hoofdorp. The Expedia price was very reasonable. I had dinner at L' Hirondelle, a pleasant five-minute walk from the hotel. Excellent food, reasonable prices. There are many other restaurant choices in Hoofdorp, […] all within ten or fifteen minutes' walking distance. Also, plenty of shopping opportunities. The hotel staff were very helpful and provided a local map with about a dozen restaurants. There are more. The hotel is very quiet, no outside noise. It is surrounded by office buildings, away from the freeway, and not below the Schipol flight paths. The morning breakfast (included) is above average. The shuttle to the airport is free to the hotel and €7.50 back to the airport. Pick it up at the hotel shuttle stop outside the train station plaza. Read more

This hotel is good if you need to be close to the airport, or if you have a car to drive into Amsterdam's downtown. There is a small bar in the lobby and the staff is friendly...they have great recommendations for local dining within walking distance. The only complaint that I have is that the cleaning lady turned off our air conditioning and turned […] on the heat for the last night. We could not figure out how to get the air conditioning back on...all we could do is lower the thermostat so that the heat would not come on. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

The shower door leaked onto floor of bath, a minor nuisance. The hotel is not close to any restaurants so you either have to inquire at front desk for delivery service from somewhere or know ahead of time to bring lunch or dinner along with you. The REALLY ANNOYING thing is that, while the shuttle from Schipol airport to the hotel is free, ONCE you […] at the hotel you learn for the FIRST TIME that you will be charged 7.50 to ride the shuttle from the hotel to the airport!!!! Full disclosure is highly recommended...in advance...otherwise the customer feels deceived. Read more

Very comfortable room. Great continental breakfast. Shuttle service free from airport but E7.50 to return. If you need to stay near the airport, this is a great place.

AVERAGE HOTEL. NOTHING SPECIAL. isolated neighborhood, offices area, not far away from the railway station, 25 minutes far from Amsterdam CS. windows are not opening. no fridge inside the room. no closet. small room had a nice french breakfast

Genuine Expedia guest review

Fine for a hotel you are not going to spending much time in. Close to Schipol, room was fine. Not a place to go to as a destination but convenient to airport. F

Genuine Expedia guest review

For an express hotel the room was exceptioanlly clean, the staff was friendly and the morning breakfast was a great added bonus. The only minor thing was in the add for booking it stated it was very close to the airport when it actually is not. The driver of the hotel shuttle was very friendly and the ride was comfortable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very good choice. All facilities were clean, modern appearance throughout the hotel, and staff was great. Walked about 12 minutes to reach local downtown where there is shopping and restaurants - front desk gave us a map with directions. Liked the convenient shuttle bus to/from airport, but there is a fee for this service. Wide choice of food at the […] breakfast buffet. Overall experience was very positive. Read more

The hotel is very modern. Was unable to use my computer. Perhaps the hotel's setup is for European computers and not American. We left too early to have their breakfast, which looked to be a typical European breakfast with rolls, sandwich meats, and cheese, and not a Continential one. The clerk recommended a nearby restaurant, where we had a wonderful […] meal in a very nice setting. There are walking trails by the restaurant which are well lit. They have an airport shuttle service, which is free from the airport. You have to pay for the trip from the hotel to the airport. We would stay at this hotel again! Read more

Did not have a restaurant for dinner but one was available in a nearby Crowne Plaza hotel. Breakast was included and was very good. Very reasonable price for at hotel at Schipol. Shuttle from airport to hotel is free but return costs 7.50euro

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Would not return to this property. Not up to HIE standards. No soap or shampoo in bathroom. (Shower soap dispenser empty.) Unbearably hot room temperature because west wall drapes were left open to the afternoon sun. Windows could not be opened and heat/ac centrally controlled. Receptionist's suggested solution was to close drapes and wait for room […] to cool off. One window without drapes had broken window shade which could not be closed for privacy. Reserved seats on airport shuttle for morning of departure and was shocked to find at check out that there was a shuttle fee of 7.50 Euros per person. We were not advised of this when we reserved the shuttle and I have NEVER EVER paid for a shuttle from an AIRPORT HOTEL. A most disappointing experience which might be my last at HIE.. Read more

Was a nice stay

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is a great place to stay. Especially if you are taking a flight from the nearby airport. I hightly recommed staying here for any reason.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This was an excellent and very comfortable hotel in all ways. The staff were wonderful and my room was not only clean and fresh, but was one of the most comfortable places I have every stayed. The hotel had an excellent and free internet connection and the TV channels were very diverse with many in English. The shuttle from the airport was free, but […] there was a charge of 8.5 Euros for the return which was reasonable as the drivers were great and got me back to the airport the next morning by avoiding a horrific traffic jam through the back streets. The only drawback to this site was that there were no close places to eat that are reasonably priced. There are drinks and sandwiches available for sale in the lobby, and the desk staff had a large assortment of food delivery menus for pizza and pasta dishes which they were willing to assist me in ordering. I would stay at this site again, but I would definitely eat in the airport before going to the hotel. Read more

Excellent hotel. Just was not clear that the return shuttle would be charged.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is near the airport and has its own shuttle bus. Staff was friendly and informed. Breakfast was fine. There is a VERY nice shopping mall within walking distance (1/2 mile or so) that includes many shops, restaurants of various type and quality and a major bus stop with a bus that for 4E will take you to central Amsterdam. Also within walking […] distance of a train station that has service to Central Station. Rooms are functional, clean and typical spare. Internet access was wired and good. Wireless also available but I didn't need to use it.as I carry a cable to plug into tne wired. Read more

A comfortable, new and inexpensive hotel close to the Amsterdam airport. Friendly and helpful staff. Shuttle to the airport.

this hotel was such a surprise because i wasnt expecting anything special as we were booking it only because of the covenience to the airport. the room was tiny, but adequate. the breakfast was more than i expected. there was free van pickup from the airport, and a marvelous restaurant with wonderful food just around the corner on a small pond and a […] pretty garden.

The hotel is new and is still working out some rough spots in their operation, e.g. the air conditioning system, the fickleness of the system which requires room keys to have electricity, the sensitive fire alarm system, and the poor soap and dispensers. Overall, though, the hotel shows real potential. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful, rooms are […] relatively spacious by European standards, the hotel is nicely decorated, the large lobby is comfortable and attractive, the free breakfast buffet is very adequate, internet access is free, and the airport shuttle (free to the hotel, 7.50 Euro to the airport) is punctual and courteous.

The hotel is starting a shuttle service from the airport on Monday, so the transportation from the airport should be better - I took a taxi, which cost 30EU (ouch). The hotel is extremely new, so it is quite nice. There were only a couple of things to complain about: (1) my hotel room stank sort of bad; and (2) there was a large wet spot on the floor […] by the door. These were probably related. Relatively ok free internet. Typical European breakfast for free. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was a very convenient and nice hotel. It offered a free airport shuttle service, complimentary breakfast, and a great bathroom/bed. Everything that one could ask for while away. Make sure that you get the front desk to give you a card showing that you were a guest at the hotel so that you can ride the shuttle to the airport. The bus driver of the […] free shuttle will try to get you to pay him extra money. That was my only complaint. Read more

Brand new, very clean, modern hotel. Good breakfast, helpful staff, free internet access including computers in the lobby. Free shuttle to the Crowne Plaza hotel across the street. Within walking distance of the train to the city center (though I had to take a train back to Shiphol to transfer to a train that went to the center - perhaps there are some […] that go direct). Recommended. Read more

Hotel room was rather small, but very functional. Clean, fresh, attractive. Great shower! The breakfast was more than a continental and of the 4 hotels we stayed at in The Netherlands, this was the only one that offered it free. Only downside for us was that the bed was too springy and soft. The larger person created a valley that the smaller person […] could not avoid rolling into. Regarding the shuttle, take the Crowne Plaza Hotel shuttle. You then walk across the street to the Holiday Inn Express. No biggee. The ride from the airport to the hotel is complimentary BUT for a return to the airport you have to purchase a voucher at the Holiday Inn at a pretty high cost OR you can do what we did and take an easy15-minute walk to the train station for a very inexpensive, 5-minute ride to the airport. There are about 8 trains running every hour. Read more

The hotel is new, and the rooms are outstanding and nice sized for the UK. Tile bathrooms and spacious. Because the neighborhood is business offices, its extremely quiet (such as no jet noise like the hotels closer to the airport). The shuttle is free from the airport to the hotel, but there is no sign for Holiday Inn Express at the bus stop at Schiphol […] where all the hotel buses come. The bus is shared with another hotel and comes around about every 30 minutes, just watch for the sign on the bus window or side. The bus back to the airport is a small charge. The complementary breakfast offers nearly everything, and all fresh. Read more

Brand new, quiet, clean. It's in an office park in Hoofdorp, a quiet town. A bit further from Schiphol than the others. If you have an early morning flight, taxi to airport is a steep 25 Euros, as their shuttle only starts at 6 AM and services 2-3 other hotels, so plan for that. A 10 minute walk to Hoofdorp station with regular service to A'Dam Central […] Station is fine except on holidays when there are fewer trains. Free Internet and in room coffee/tea is appreciated. American style comfort at a very affordable price. Had to leave too early for the complimentary breakfast. Very pleased, would stay again Read more

We had the luxury of staying 4 nights at this hotel during our trip to Europe. This was the best hotel out of the 4 that we stayed at in Europe. PROS: Hotel workers spoke multiple languages which were extremely convenient and they were friendly/courteous/polite/helpful. The hotel was actually a renovated office building but they did an awesome job with […] renovations (modern and comfortable atmosphere). Breakfast was complimentary/free. The beds were extremely comfortable. Satellite offered a few English speaking channels (not like you’ll be sitting in your room watching TV). The train stations can be reached within a mile walk or via the hotel shuttle bus to the airport. In reality, I believe this is the cleanest hotel we have ever stayed. Free internet access. CONS: They are still a new/up-and-running hotel, so they had some technical issues with their card reader system for the rooms. Coffee is limited to the morning breakfast service time. Not close to the city, so the view is limited to parking areas/buildings. Local phone calls cost. Hotel supports (well most of Europe actually) the “Go Green” theme with its recommendations on use of towels and electrical use (must have a room key to activate the lighting in the room). OVERALL: 5 star hotel, highly recommended to anyone thinking about visiting the Amsterdam area. Read more

Nice, new hotel and a good choice unless security is of any importance to you. Please be warned that all suitcases, breifcases, etc should remain with you at all times- drag them to the breakfast buffet line , keeping them on your body or you risk them being stolen from your table, as ours were. Should you lose your documentation in the theft, do not […] count on the hotel staff to help you beyond filing a police report. Though they said to ask for anything we would need to help us, when we asked for someone from the hotel to take us to the US Consolate (Amsterdam can be confusing to navigate beyond finding Central Station) they arranged for a driver to take us. However, it was completetely at our cost. If we wanted a taxi, we could have called one ourselves. The "manager" witnessed the whole event and never identified herself. Intstead she had us wait for sales director to deal with our "problem". So much for security and care of any "guest" staying here. If the area near the hotel is a target for this type of event (it is), at least post signs warning you or arrange for a place to secure your luggage while you check in or eat. Read more

All the desk staff seemed new or untrained (with the exception of one), and their blank stares and curt mumblings were not the epitome of "friendliness". With the shuttle to the airport and the train to Amsterdam Central, plan on an hour travel time to and fro the center of Amsterdam.
