Top hotels in Westerpark
The July - Boat & Co
We loved everything about this hotel. The location perfect and just a short bus ride to center of town. Most times walked back at end of day. Loved that we could do laundry, eat great meals there and feel completely at home. Fitness facility also has everything you need for a quick workout.

citizenM Schiphol Airport
Staff was outstanding in being helpful. Breakfast was a disappointment since all of the “hot” food was tepid at best. The cold foods were great. Overall, I recommend this choice. I’ve included the view from our room.

Hotel ibis Schiphol Amsterdam Airport
The room was ridiculously small and to make it worse they had a 3rd bed in it. A real rip off. You could not swing a cat in there.
