"The Ibis was easy to find and check in.The staff is very helpful for ordering taxis and directions to places in town, even Covid testing. The rooms are sparse but clean and comfortable. Not having washcloths with the bath towels is inconvenient.The breakfast is ample with excellent selections of foods. "

Monet Garden Hotel Amsterdam
5/5 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay at the Monet Garden Hotel Amsterdam. We have difficulty finding rooms for a family of 4, and the 3 bed arrangement in our room was perfect. We also really loved having a view of the canal. The hotel is well maintained. It has a modern in appearance, which we like, but may not be for everyone. It is a bit of a hike from the train station (about 15 minutes), or the nearest Metro at Waterloopin (5 minutes). The plus side of that is you are away from the worst of the crowds in the more touristy areas. Walking a couple of minutes east were very good local restaurants, plus the zoo/park area. The staff was very helpful whenever we had a question. Overall we really liked this hotel and would stay there again."
