This was the first night of a European coach trip and was the best hotel we stayed in. It was very modern and clean with a great bathroom. The view out the window in the morning of a large cruise ship passing by was awesome.

My husband and I stayed at the Moevenpick in Amsterdam for 3 nights. He had travelled from Australia and I met him off the back of a trip I was having in Paris.

We both were thrilled with the room we were given (ask for a harbour view) and the windows were able to be opened for fresh air! Yes.

The service at the Moevenpick was absolutely fantastic - not once were we disappointed. The shuttle bus into town was there for anytime with just a little notice and the staff were full of great information.

The restaurants and bars were great and everything gets a full thumbs up from us.

This is a new, clean, modern, non-smoking hotel adjacent to the Cruise Passenger Terminal. It is not downtown but it is close to it. There were many nice free touches in the room including a fridge, safe, wine glasses, tea/coffee and a bottle of water. We enjoyed the "menu" of different pillow types, view of the river, free internet in the business centre and apples or water when checking in. The hotel was relatively quiet as compared to hotels closer to the city centre. We did however hear faint rumblings from the numerous trains across the street. The highlight of our stay was the super friendly and helpful concierge service - at all times a concierge was both visible and available. For us, they reserved and operated the half hourly shuttle to Centraal Station, provided luggage storage and advised on travel times to the airport. They were always happy and spoke perfect English. Do not be put off by the distance from Centraal Station. It is either a pleasant 10 to 15 minute walk along the river, a free hotel shuttle ride away or a 3 minute tram ride. It is not difficult at all to take the train from Schipol airport and get to the hotel with luggage.

Got a great rate on name your own price from Priceline, I love this hotel and have stayed here a few times now. The rooms are great and the views are amazing. Although a little away from everything, in my book its a bonus and the hotel's about 10 mins walk to Central Station.

One let down are the staff, can often be rude and abrupt at check in and for a 3 night stay my room cardkey failed each day - I was told this was because it was near my phone (stayed here 3 times before and never happened) then it was because of my bank cards and various other excuses but not one apology... thats all it would have taken.
