Golden Tulip Amsterdam Vinkeveen, Vinkeveen

Advantages: In easy reach of town centre, staff very friendly & helpful, Clean
Disadvantages: Surrounding area a bit industrial

...I chose to take my boyfriend to Amsterdam for his 21st birthday but all the hotels in the City Centre that were in my price range had awful reviews, then i came across the Golden Tulip in Zanndam. Although it is not in the city centre it is so easy to get there from this lovely hotel it's worth the extra journey to stay in a much nicer hotel. The train station is right next to the hotel (although there is no noise) and it is only 2-3 Euros return. We used to go out in the morning, come back late afternoon and then head back out in the evening and never found it a problem catching the train. It was also very easy to catch the train from the airport to the hotel. The staff at the hotel are lovely and the room very clean and in a very nice condition. Because we saved so much money not staying in the city centre we were able to stay... Read review

Advantages: Location, Good Deals
Disadvantages: Over starred in my opinion

...I booked a long weekend for myself and my girlfriend in Amsterdam Just before Christmas 2006. I had a look on laterooms.com (if you haven't used this site before, do it is excellent value) and found the Golden Tulip in Amsterdam offering us a room for 3 nights in their 4* hotel including breakfast for a little under 300 euros. I was sold on the executive sounding nature of the rooms, its central location, traffic free area and of course the included breakfast. We arrived at central stn a little early for our check in time of 2pm, probably somewhere near 11.30, but we turned up at the hotel anyway and asked to check in. The staff were very friendly, took our payment upfront (rather than on check out) and added on the 5% city tax for foreigners (keep this in mind). They were more than helpful in storing our bags for us and suggesting we... Read review

Advantages: Close to Centre
Disadvantages: None!

...This was my first visit to Amsterdam and as a 25th pressie to my fiancee I thought I'd book us into 4star luxury in the centre. I paid 235 euros off laterooms, and this was for 2 nights in an executive room without breakfast. I don't know what made the room executive because it seemed pretty standard to me, but was comfortable, clean and to a decent spec, ie reasonably modern and new. There were coffee & tea facilities, a mini bar and snacks which were of course very expensive, and complimentary toiletries. Be warned that there's a fair amount of free hard care porn on their pay per view TV so be warned if you have children as you'll have to ask staff to disenable the channel. there was a phone, desk, hanging space etc in the room as you'd expect for 4 star, hairdrier, free safe, extra blankets and pillows, heater...
