Hotele niedaleko Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

We stayed at Novotel Amsterdam City in standard twin rooms for a family holiday (6 of us), and overall it was a great experience. Mr. Oman at the reception was super friendly and gave us a warm welcome during check-in. He also helped make sure all our requests were met; connecting rooms, 2 single beds, same floor, and next to each other. Really appreciated that! The only downside was one male receptionist (Middle Eastern-looking) who didn’t seem very welcoming. He was quite passive and seemed unwilling when I asked for help with temporarily storing our luggage.

To świetny pobyt w Amsterdamie, jeśli chcesz przyzwoitej ceny, ale nadal wystarczająco blisko, aby łatwo dostać się do i z serca Amsterdamu. Ponieważ stacje są dosłownie tuż za hotelem, można łatwo się poruszać. Personel był w większości przyjazny. Łóżka były niezwykle wygodne. Miejsce do spotkań na dachu było miłym dodatkiem, podobnie jak pralnia, która jest super, jeśli podróżujesz przez jakiś czas. Myślę, że pranie i suszenie ubrań kosztowało 6 euro. Dostaliśmy apartament z kuchnią, mając nadzieję, że będziemy mogli sami przygotować sobie jedzenie, jednak kuchenka mikrofalowa miała działać jako piekarnik, a mimo to wcale nie działała zbyt dobrze. Dostarczają płyny do prania i przybory do mycia, jednak nie ma soli, pieprzu ani nawet sprayu do gotowania. Byłoby to korzystne, gdybyś oferował pokoje z aneksem kuchennym. Ogólnie rzecz biorąc, mieliśmy świetny pobyt! Aby ten hotel był najwyższej klasy, musiałby mieć basen lub jacuzzi.

I had an amazing stay with my partner in this hotel. :) Check-in was a breeze. All the front desk staff were so nice and lovely. One time, I ask if they have salt and pepper and they had unopened salt and pepper mills sent to the room. Room is big with plenty of amenities. Big closet storage with multiple hangers. Big mirror. Iron+ironboard. 2 hair dryers (1 in the closet drawer and 1 in bathroom). Big safe for valuables. Mini bar and coffee machine. Free bottle of water on each bedside. Bed is huge. Advertised as king sized but it is actually a super king! I had the best sleep every night as the bed was so comfortable. Had 4 huge pillows too. Big window too! The bathroom had a big bathtub, big mirror with good lighting. Will definitely stay here when we visit Amsterdam again. We also left our luggages for free when we checked out.

Pierwszej nocy zostaliśmy odesłani do innego hotelu, a drugiej nocy do Movenpick. Powiedziano nam, że dadzą nam darmowe śniadanie i że musimy powiadomić personel restauracji. Wiele rzeczy nie zostało przekazanych dalej, a Movenpick chciał obciążyć nas opłatą za taksówkę, którą wynajęli, aby nas odesłać i wrócić. Nie było to dobre doświadczenie.

A very clean hotel, staff are very nice and friendly. Location is another highlight, located right next to Overamstel station, very convenient if you want to go some other cities or Amsterdam Central as you can always go to Amstel station

ChatGPT said: The room carried a gentle, welcoming atmosphere and stayed clean and comfortable the whole time. Settling in was effortless, with a soft bed, warm lighting, and a layout that made relaxing come naturally. Everything in the space functioned smoothly, with no minor issues to deal with. The staff were quietly professional, easy to approach, helpful when needed, and never overbearing. Their steady presence made each interaction feel natural and uncomplicated. From arrival to departure, the service stayed consistent and efficient. Even small requests were handled quickly and without fuss. The overall environment had a calm, reassuring feel that set a pleasant tone for the stay. In the end, it proved to be a straightforward, restful place to unwind, offering comfort without any unnecessary complications.

The location is super good as it is right next to the main train station and can access the trains and tubes smoothly. However, I saw a big silverfish when I just came in the room, so be careful for the cleaning.

Location: Excellent. Calm area, close to the free ferry from Amsterdam Central. You are away from the buzz but still well connected. Best of both worlds. Check-in experience: Disappointing. I arrived around two hours early and politely asked if the room was available. The front desk staff member was helpful and said the system showed the room as ready and that she would confirm with management. The manager then intervened and introduced an unnecessary and inconsistent explanation about the room not being ready, followed by an early check-in fee of €5. The fee itself is reasonable and not the issue. The issue is the lack of transparency. Moments later, the same staff member asked the manager whether to give me the original room, and the manager confirmed yes in front of me. This made the earlier explanation feel dishonest, which I do not appreciate. Bar: Overpriced for a hostel. Amenities: Standard. Nothing special, nothing missing. Hygiene: Below expectations. While the room was generally clean, there were breadcrumbs on the mattress, which points to poor attention to detail. Soap and toilet paper were not properly provided and had to be requested, which should not be necessary. Overall: Good location, average facilities, weak attention to hygiene and communication.

Nie zdawałam sobie sprawy, że ten hotel jest tak daleko od centrum Amsterdamu. To jeden przystanek pociągiem od Amsterdam Centraal plus 10 minut spacerem. Za każdym razem, gdy podróżujesz tam i z powrotem, zajmuje to dobre 30 minut - myślę, że jest to równie szybkie (i przyjemniejsze) na rowerze, ale nie było to dla nas możliwe. Wnętrze jest bardzo hostelowe, jaskrawo kolorowe ściany ze stołem do piłkarzyków i ping-ponga itp. Personel był miły i przyjazny, ale pokoje były po prostu trochę zmęczone. Mieliśmy prywatny pokój dla dwóch osób, który faktycznie miał aneks kuchenny, lodówkę i kuchenkę mikrofalową (nie potrzebowaliśmy), ale świetne, jeśli potrzebujesz. Po prostu jest zmęczony - potrzebuje lepszych gniazdek, oświetlenia, a poduszki były nierówne. Materac był dla mnie za twardy i nie spałam dobrze. Świetny, jeśli podróżujesz z plecakiem, nie jest tak dobry na kilka nocy w Amsterdamie jako matka z synem. Musiał być bliżej, aby mieć czas na powrót i odpoczynek bez godziny podróży powrotnej i niewygodnych łóżek.

We stayed at this hotel with our child. Overall the stay was fine and the beds were very comfortable, so we slept well. The area is great – quiet, safe and close to shops and cafés. However, the room was a bit cold and our child got chilly at night. There were no carpets on the floor, so our socks were always getting dirty and the floor felt dusty. The breakfast was also quite weak, with a rather limited selection. In general it was an okay stay, but with a warmer room, better floor cleanliness and a stronger breakfast, the experience could be much better.
