We liked being away from Amsterdam, a great place to visit but I would not want to live there. The park and ride would cost 8 Euro per car and give two... people all day passes on the transit system or buying a ticket on the bus will cost 10 Euro per person for the same. We chose the bus for our trip into Amsterdam and it was too easy. The bus comes every 15 minutes on the road next to the hotel (100 meters from the hotel) and drops you off at Central Station. We only waited two minutes since there are 4 different bus lines that pass and go the Central Station. Then when you are done with the craziness you can come back to your room next to a field full of sheep outside the quaint town of Volendam which is also worth a visit. The hotel was clean and comfortable with a nice shower (good pressure and hot water). Rooms were quiet but the beds were softer than we like (we like the Euro-hard beds). Breakfast was good with fresh-squeezed orange juice and good espresso and cappuccinos. Breads and rolls were fresh and varied. There were pre-cooked scrambled eggs with either ham, spinach (I think) or plain. The soft boiled eggs were closer to hard boiled eggs and the sunny side up eggs were also cooked a little too long. I would have liked eggs to orders but I like that when I am on holiday. They had bacon, sausage and some meats and cheeses as well. Wi-Fi was fast enough to stream a movie at the end of the day (a wired connection cost extra). We would stay here again. by Eric & Wanda from USA on 05/09/13
