A warm, modern welcome
I read some one-star reviews on here and other places, so was hesitant to book at first, until a colleague suggested this specific hotel (Amsterdam Schiphol Airport) without me mentioning it. He was right! The rooms are small, yes, but they make maximum use of the space. Shelves, a desk/seat, wardrobe and a large drawer underneath the bed. The wet unit contains a toilet and shower, while the sink (with plenty more shelves) is outside it - this too helps make maximum use of the space. There's a curtain between the wet unit/sink and the bed so even with company you have privacy if you need. Lights, coloured bathroom light, blinds, curtains, airco, tv (dozens of channels), radio and chromecast - all remote controlled using a friendly interface on an iPad. My 4th floor view was other hotels, offices and the traffic surrounding the airport, but whisper-quiet despite that. I spent late evening hours in bed catching up on Netflix. Staff was friendly and quick. Self-checkin and -out was easy at the terminals, including payment by card - if needed help was a glance away. Food options on the menu were modest (I'm vegetarian though so..), but good, and the bar/restaurant being open 24/7 was very nice. Walking distance from the airport and trainstation, most of it covered walkway. The only thing missing really? A rooftop swimming pool. Come on guys, make it happen!
