Stationsplein Holidays

Good location, near a bus stop which takes you directly to Centraal and Zaanse Schans. Room was clean, modern and well equipped. Only downside is there is an additional charge to use the pool.

Very cute tiny hotel with super welcoming and kind staff. I will say that there are a few big downsides - the main one being that the toilet in our room had a clear glass door, which was uncomfortable. The fixtures in our room were a bit worn out and some parts of the room felt like they could’ve been a bit cleaner. That being said, the hospitality at this hotel is amazing. The staff were so kind and welcoming, and there is a free happy hour and a cute little terrace outside that is open all hours. The staff let us stay on the terrace even after we had checked out, and they let us check out late for free because my friend had been sick the night before and wasn’t able to get much sleep. Really the main thing that stopped this from being a four star review is that the price is the bathroom door situation - we basically ended up using the downstairs bathroom the entire time, which can only be accessed by going outside and was kind of inconvenient. In the grand scheme of things it’s not a huge deal, but it feels like such an easy thing to fix by adding a privacy screen or something. I don’t take points off for things outside of the hotel’s control (ie, outside noise etc) but this is something that is definitely within the hotel’s control and I think having some more privacy would’ve made our stay more comfortable.

Great location! The hotel was very nice and the location was perfect. Extra thanks to Arty and the staff for their help and kindness!

Positives. Helpful and pleasant staff. Less than 10 minutes walk in nice neighborhood from Amsterdam Zuid train and metro station. Bed is comfy and room is functional. Quiet. Blackout drapes. The negatives are the weirdness of all CitizenM hotels. The bed is up against the window so one person needs to climb over the other one in bed. No kettle or coffee service. Limited privacy with a pull curtain between the bedroom and separate toilet room and shower. Restaurants within 10 minute walk. For us for 2 nights it worked - great price compared to central hotels and easy train access to Schiphol.

Overall this was a nice place to stay. If you have a car, however, it is a bit confusing to know where to go for check in and bringing bags in is a bit of a nuisance since there are only stairs in the parkade. There is a service elevator at the back but then have to pull bags through the restaurant and it feels a bit weird. The location overall is good depending what you desire to do and would recommend renting a bike for the day to get where you want to go. The overall vibe of hotel was nice and the staff was also friendly and down to earth. The room was cleaned each day although always seemed to be missing some stock items like water or milk and our body wash was empty and not filled. But the desk was always happy to provide. The rooms could also benefit from some robes, possibly? It has such a cozy cool home vibe that it seemed robes would be fitting (but that is just a personal touch that I would like - not anything to do with the hotel itself). Overall, a great place to stay.
