Van der Valk Hotel Amsterdam Zuidas

8/10 Good

"Nice but utterly soulless corporate hotel, riddled with frequent elements of terrible design. Amazing breakfast, friendly staff (genuinely really helpful with some exceptional requests), and a lovely wellness centre on the top floor (though the exchange of footbaths for any cold plunge is a tad odd). Rooms with the toilet as far as possible from the sink, the taps in such a way that you will wake your partner up in the middle of the night, the angle of the totally non-reflective windows just set so you can easily exhibit your neighbours, no chair, extremely loud air-circulation throughout the night even with the aircon off (and, in our first room, a hammering from the lift mechanism - thank you to whoever organised our switch on the 2nd night), and quite possibly the worst piece of art (Girl with a Pearl Earring ropily photoshopped onto a skater girl of different body size and skin tone, giving a freakishly chibi impression) that they seem to have ordered for every room, given it was in both the ones we saw."

Element by Marriott Amsterdam

8/10 Good

"I actually loved it, I run the marathon so it was nice it’s was close and not to expensive, there’s some shops around, breakfast is good, but the front desk was bit rude. I grabbed some snacks from the bar and she asked room number and I said “I’ll pay with card” and she asked again which room number and I said “ I was going to pay with card” and she side eye me. She got pissed that I said no room charges, besides that, hotel was amazing, clean and the room is spacious."

"Great location for the Amsterdam marathon- easy access from airport and right by start line. Lovely rooms with little kitchen and friendly staff. Very pleased with ours stay!"

NH Amsterdam Zuid

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our stay. Hotel was lovely, all I will say is from what we have seen with other people staying we didn’t get the same welcoming we just got told where the lifts were and what floor were on and to ring reception if we needed anything. Whereas others were given advice about where to go to eat what to do, how to travel around etc etc. There was nothing to help as it was our first time in Amsterdam. Maybe that was just from the man that checked us in as the man when checking out was"
