WestCord Fashion Hotel Amsterdam

skvělá poloha, blízko zastávky tram

Very nice staff all friendly would stay again

20 minutes from airport by train and tram. Excellent tram service into city (10 minutes). Very clean rooms - well maintained. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good sized pool to relax in - great place for a city break without being right in the city. Room service was great and reasonably priced - we were able to et some food on our arrival at 10.45 - fresh sandwiches, fries and carpaccio with two glasses of wine! Great to be able to rent bikes from the reception (12 Euros) and also to purchase tram tickets too. Skky lounge serves lovely cocktails - a little pricy (12 Euros) Hotel it well placed to get to all places of interest and just three minutes from tram stop. Don't be put off by the dual carriageway that runs alongside, rooms are well insulated and noise is not high (ask for room at back if yu are a light sleeper). Unusual arrangement for bathrooms with see through glass (know your fellow companion well - especially if you don't have a separate toilet!!!) quirky and different. Rooms cleaned and tidied daily and coffee pods replenished for machine (can always ask for more!) Plenty of towels and good strong shower. Thoroughly recommend.

Pros: Overall I really enjoyed my stay here. I like running when I travel and it’s very close to the beautiful Vondelpark and right opposite Rembrandt Park. It’s also walking distance to Rijks museum and the nice cafes etc in the neighbourhood close to Vondelpark. The room is very big compared to hotels in Amsterdam’s city centre, everything was very clean, bed was very comfortable and bathroom shower was nice and hot with good water pressure. Also it has a really good gym AND a pool!! I didn’t get a chance to use the pool but the gym is definitely better than most. You do need to commute in and out of the city, there is a 7-minute walk from the hotel to the nearest tram stop and then it is about 10-20 minutes tram to the town area depending on where you want to stop. But I found it relatively easy and convenient to do this, trams are quite frequent and I never had to wait longer than 5-7 minutes for a tram to come by. A 3-day tram ticket gives you unlimited rides for EUR17.50. The tram also takes you straight to Centraal Station. Cons: Need to commute (but the commute is easy), and the room is a little stuffy no matter how I tried to adjust the room temperature. Overall it’s really good value compared to the more expensive hotels that are situated right in the city and you get a much bigger room. If you don’t mind commuting a little bit to get to the city, I highly recommend this place!
