Last week I returned from my summer holiday in Amsterdam. It is a city well known for sex drugs and that sort of thing but of course when you want a place to retire it's always nice to know you have a quiet and relaxing place to call it a night. The place that did that for me was the Hotel Bilderberg Garden situated just slightly out of the city centre. I am not normally one who likes the superior five star hotels but on this occasion I got a great deal and thought I would give it a try.
So, one thing I will say is that this hotel is not the easiest to find at first. On asking the locals about this hotel, one even replied "are you in the right country?" and others looked confused on mentioning the name. However, eventually we asked the non English speakers about it and they eventually guided us to our humble abode. On arrival I then came to find that in fact this hotel was merely minutes from the city centre and once I was given a map of the city I could easily commute back and forth.
Before me I saw a red carpet laid out and knew this was definitely where I would be staying. I was greeted with a marble floor and well presented staff all smartly dressed in their orange jackets, easy to identify and welcoming. Now, this is where my only negative comes being the whole check-in process. I was told my room was not ready yet and that I was to return in thirty minutes time, now this was all fair enough as we had arrived before 3pm. I went out for lunch and returned after 3 but by this point I was exhausted and wanted to unpack and see the sights.
I could tell this was not going to be an easy situation as the receptionist was clearly incapable of her job. For one she mocked my accent and then continued to tell me to come back after another thirty minutes. For a five star hotel she was looking stressed and eventually spoke to the manager who found us a room no problem, thankfully. Our luggage was brought up to our room and I was ready to settle in. Apart from that bad experience with staff I found no faults for the rest of them.
Whenever I needed to find out information I could easily go downstairs and they would happily tell me where to find the nearest supermarket, ATM etc. I was also happy to find they provided adapters, toiletries and would happily answer any questions thrown at them. All were dressed in orange uniform, easy to identify and even at breakfast they would attend to your every need.
Some of the extras of the hotel would be the complimentary bathrobe and slippers, the evening fruit turndown service. Basically, around 8pm when most were out they came into the room left fruit, closed the curtains and left the radio on with relaxing music so that when you returned you walked into a relaxing atmosphere. Also, all toiletries were updated regularly, the maids were friendly. There was also a mini bar which was quite expensive as usual but it had a good selection if you were interested.
The colour scheme in the rooms was very modern and neutral. The bathroom was all marble and very well lit. The bedroom was designed with very flat comfortable Art Deco furniture. The bedding was beige and cream and the furniture mahogany. The wardrobe was even well lit. The window was wide and lit up the room nicely with an okay view. I couldn't fault the cleanliness as it was very up to par. It was a big enough room and I was happy to come home at nights and relax here.
In the mornings I had paid for breakfast so I made my way down to the restaurant. It was served in buffet style, all tables very nicely laid out. You were asked if you wanted tea or coffee and left to your own devices. They served a selection of cold meats, cereals, yoghurts and pastries then they had their usual sausage, eggs, tomatoes and toast. They also had a wide range of fruit juices and spreads and a fruit range. At first I was disappointed but I then released that there was quite a good choice here for everyone. Staff quickly attended to dirty plates so that you were not eating over leftovers and it was a very nice dining atmosphere.
The restaurant served food all day, daily and was never empty. It served food of reasonable prices for the very wealthy that chose to dine here. There was also a bar in the lounge which again was usually very busy and it seemed a very friendly atmosphere. I personally never used the bar but it was never rowdy and was well controlled.
The lift accessed all floors and was decorated in black and white marble. It was very spacious and I didn't have to wait long to get it. It was never overcrowded and most times I got it I was the only person using it.
The hotel's location seemed to be in quite a residential area. It was across from the Hilton but was in a quiet enough area so you could sleep well. It was literally a five minute walk to the nearest bank and about ten minutes to the supermarket and nearest tram line. It was near Beethovenstraat which had many shops and restaurants to kill time. The nearest tram line was called Apollolaan and the numbers 5 and 24 came here. I usually didn't have to wait any longer than ten minutes for one to arrive. These particular trams went to most major tourist stops and were also very quick. The good thing was where this hotel is situated is out of the centre whereas most of the central trams were busier going into the attractions rather than my emptier trams going out.
I had a very pleasant stay in this hotel and got a great offer on Hotel Connect's website. If you search on Google the hotel does have an official site but its rates are higher. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a pleasant stay in Amsterdam if you are not looking for a wild time. The only thing I will say is that they were lacking leaflets and offers on tourist attractions which disappointed me as all they offered was free access to the Holland Casino. Other than that it was a problem free four days and if ever returning to Amsterdam I would certainly come back.
Advantages: Wodnerful Staff, Clean, Classy, Good Location - Everything Disadvantages: I have not a bad word to say about them!
After a very unfortunate start to our city break to Amsterdam my friend and I arrived at this hotel. I want to tell you all the shortened version of what actually happened...
Our Tour Operator booked us into the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Den Haag instead of the hotel in Schiphol [where the airport is]. Not wanting to miss out on the sights of Amsterdam, and not wanting to travel 60km each way between the sights and the hotel we made our way to Amsterdam. ... ..."Sorry we're full, good luck!" from ever hotelier we were directed to the Garden Hotel by their sister hotel Jan Luyken.
We arrived to see a hotel in a quiet area next to a canal with ducks and boats...absolutely gorgeous area! Lovely houses, lots of plants and trees and of course the ducks and geese! The hotel had a red carpet from the taxi rank to the front door, marble ornaments and plant pots, and Italian style furniture for people to sit outside ...

Advantages: Luxury, comfort, and being treated like royalty - plus wonderful food. Disadvantages: Makes other hotels seem ordinary
A November holiday is not everyone's ideal - nor was it ours, but 'needs must.'... and it was our 30th wedding anniversary !
Since Easyjet were starting their Belfast to Amsterdam journey, it was decided that a break for a few days in Amsterdam was a possibility.... though for some reason colleagues in hospital and church kept teasing us like mad about coffee shops and red lights for some reason !!!??
1 LOCATION :
===========
The Garden Hotel ... ...is located in the Museum area of Amsterdam.
Basically that meant it was a pleasant walk in the crisp November air to get to the Van Gogh museum, and then a bit longer walk into the centre of the city.
There are the legendary trams and the service is so brilliant, we used them a fair bit too. O for public transport in UK like that !
The airport is not too far away, and a special hotel bus service did the job both ways for us.

Advantages: Affordable luxury, great hotel. Disadvantages: Looking a bit dated.
...a nice trip.
Hotel Bilderberg Garden is about 2 and a half miles (if you know your way) from the heart of Amsterdam, in the district called the Old South. This is quite a 'well heeled' area and has some fantastic, if expensive shopping areas and resturaunts, as well as some nice archtiecture. Trams (number 5) go straight into town, though we walk everywhere; twenty minutes walking gets one to the Rjiks museum, 35-40 minutes, into KalvertStraat (centre).
... ...fantastic deal, with buffet breakfast and ferry tickets via Hull (we live in Yorkshire) for around £700, bearing in mind that the cheapest rooms are normally around £70 per person, per night, and breakfast is 19 Euro per person.
There was only 29 people in the hotel on xmas day, fab. The hotel is very much a business orientated hotel, meeting rooms etc., and as we left we noticed a plethora of Saabs, Volvo's and BMW's parked outside as it was a ...

My partner and I decided to visit amsterdam and we had a fantastic deal on a bmi baby flight so went on line to look for hotels.
I found the hotel on an amsterdam tourist website offering some 2 night deals.
I booked the hotel not knowing really what to expect.
On arrival in Amsterdam we got a taxi from the airport to the hotel which is situated in a residential area. the area is upmarket and the hotel is described as a boutique type hotel.
Its ... ...some mix up with the room booking - however the Reception Manager did not make an issue of it and apologised for the inconvenience.
On entering the room which was huge by any standards we were more than pleasantly surprised.There was everything we could possibly want including a jacuzzi bath ( room enough for one or two very little people, but that's not a complaint as it was bliss to lie there contemplating on one's own)
The room was decorated ...
