3 Star Hotels in Zaandam, Amsterdam

"Near"

"Really nice hotel, rooms are good and the facilities are great. Would recommend. "

"While it may seem out of the way it really isn’t and you get a great deal because of that. The metro is literally across the street and the tram stop is at the end of the block and will get you to all main attractions in 15-30m. Tip: buy a GVP transit pass, add it to your phone’s wallet, and then just scan on any transport (you can even get to the airport with it). The hotel is also a beautiful 20m walk from Albert Cuyp market, which has authentic stroopwaffel, amazing food, and cute little shops. The hotel itself is really nice and clean and very hip while still being welcoming. It has a lot of options to hang out too, including later when everything is closed: the lobby cafe (good sandwiches and pastries), an upstairs bar with city views, a downstairs club, and rooftop hot tubs and sauna. Staff in all these areas were always friendly and helpful. The rooms themselves were very clean, comfortable, and had nice amenities like shampoo and shower gel, hairdryer, and lots of towels. If you want to be left alone in your unpacked chaos, they don’t clean the room until the 4th day unless requested, which I appreciated. Overall this is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in and I would definitely recommend and would stay here again for sure."

"I was a little worried after reading the reviews, but was very pleasantly surprised with my 2 night stay. Parking was plentiful and fairly reasonable for Amsterdam. Check in was quick and easy, though they do make you aware of the very strict no smoking policy which some people seem to have been caught by. The room was spotless and quite modern. Bathroom was clean and the AC worked very well. I had 2 of the best nights sleep here out of my 2 week trip. I did find the breakfast very expensive, but just walked to McDonald's literally next door instead. The elevator also tends to jam up around 11 am as everyone tried to leave at the same time. Getting into the city was a breeze on the Number 1 train line. 20 minites walk if you believe Google, or 3 minutes if you are willing to walk across the road instead of follow the bike paths. I will add a photo of the hotel from the train station to show how close it is. We got the GVB daily pass for $9.50 using the GVB app. This made travelling quick, easy and affordable as the daily pass is a virtual ticket that can be used for 24 hours from time of activation and is good for GVB buses, trains, trams and even the night bus. If you bus the 2 or 3 day pass, it works out even cheaper. Overall a great stay and would stay here again. "
