Top Amsterdam Hotel Reviews

Hotel ibis Schiphol Amsterdam Airport

Hotel ibis Schiphol Amsterdam Airport

10/10 Excellent
"Great location. Easily checked in with their self check in kiosk. Could get very busy in the lobby when flights were cancelled/delayed and there were a lot of passengers checking in. This was one of few places during our trip that had an ice machine which was appreciated. Located close to a bus terminal to make getting around Amsterdam easy with there tap in/tap off credit card system. Shuttle was easy to use and easy to find at the airport but as it went to a possible 3 different Ibis Hotels in the area, it could be very busy especially when having to transport larger bags. Would definitely recommend this to travelers. Can not comment on the bar/breakfast as we did not use this due to it being a bit pricey."
