After much shopping around, we booked (via Thompson online) for a 2 night stay at the 5 start Hilton Amsterdam (with direct flights from Cardiff with KLM) for approximately £280 pp.
The hotel is about 15 minutes in a cab from Schipol airport (approximately 30 euro) which is what we opted for, although the Airport – Hotel shuttle bus stops outside the hotel and there is a tram stop just around the corner.
On arriving at the hotel, which is in a quiet residential area, just outside the main centre, you are greeted by a gentleman in a long which tail coat, who opens the door for you and takes you luggage.
Check in was very efficiently handled, we asked for a canal view room, a request which was granted without any hastle. Once the normal form filling was complete (name, address, passport number etc) we allocated our electronic key cards and told that our bags would be taken up shortly.
Our room, on the second floor, although not huge was a nice size, lovely and clean and tidy, with a wardrobe, mini bar, personal electronic safe (for which there was no extra charge), desk, flat screen TV (including some British satellite channels), a queen sized bed with headboard mounted Led reading lights and a table with 2 chairs. The on suite bathroom was also of a good size and again clean and tidy with plenty of clean fresh towels and spa toiletries. The rooms are all air conditioned with individual controls to set the temperature and fan speed, but the windows in the room also open. When I first opened the window it wouldn’t shut, but a quick call down to reception and 10 minutes later a member of the house keeping team arrived to resolve it.
Shortly after we left to see the city centre. The concierges on duty all have good maps of the city and are happy to point out places of interest and advise on the best things to see, places to eat etc. They also have vouchers for money off some of the attractions including the primary canal tour provider. As mentioned above the nearest tram stop is only a few minutes walk from the hotel but we opted to walk the whole way – it is about 15 minutes to the Museum Square and Vondel Park with a further 5 / 10 minutes to the Leidesplein where there is a vast array of bars and pubs. If you want to go further a field, such as the red light district, then really a tram is needed.
The only meal we ate at the hotel was breakfast (which was included in our package), and there is very good variety. After being allocated a table, tea, coffee and toast as requested are brought to the table, everything else is on the self serve buffet – and the range is extensive. The is the cooked option (bacon, veal sausage, beans, tomato, potato), pancakes, waffles, all the continental options including muffins plus an array of quality fruit juices (including blended juices such as pineapple and strawberry).
We did look at menu in Robertos (the onsite Italian restaurant) but the menu is a la carte and rather expensive, snacks are also available in the bar which has a lovely relaxing view over the ‘marina’ (a small part of the canal where a few boats are kept) but again this is expensive, we had a few drinks the first night with a pint of Heineken costs 8 euros.
Check out was smooth, and the concierge had booked us a taxi which arrived spot on time. All in all we would go back to the Amsterdam Hilton as the quality of service can not be faulted.
Advantages: Convenient and predictable Disadvantages: Souless
Business trips can be tedious at the best of times but the tedium is exacerbated when overnight hotel accommodation offers little more than a bed for the night in a faceless establishment.
Unfortunately, the Hilton at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport is just one of those faceless hotels.
Convenience is the key to this hotel's success. It is linked to the airport by a covered walkway and so provides a superb base from which to operate when doing business in and around the Schiphol business area. If your business is in Amsterdam centre it will still only take about 30 minutes to get into the main town, however, I would suggest that there are plenty of better hotels in the city centre.
When one stays in chain hotels, particularly those aimed at the business community, one can often predict with hideous accuracy the standard ...
Advantages: Near airport Disadvantages: "airport hotel" but 4 * hotel
* HILTON *
Hilton, well everyone knows the Hilton name some better because of Paris Hilton (best know in her TV-program The Simple Life, an heiress to a share of the Hilton Hotel fortune ), but if there is still some one who really don't know history behind this huge multi million hotel chain short info to all of you. Hilton brand is over 80 years old. It was founded in 1919 by Conrad Hilton (great-grandfather of Paris). And it offers for guests clamour city centre hotels, all-suite hotels, destination resorts, airport hotels and even vacation ownerships. Hilton got nearly 3000 hotels in over 80 countries. One of best known Hilton hotels is Hilton hotel in Amsterdam and specially room 902 in there. In that room John Lennon and Yoko Ono held their first ever Bed-In For Peace in March 25 to March 31 1969. But I was in Standsted, UK ...

When we were looking at tour operators running trips to Amsterdam, Dam Express’ adverts stuck out they seemed to know what kind of tour to provide with the right atmosphere, the busses were advertised to have TV, video, bar, toilets and drivers with the right attitude.
Their website www.damexpress.co.uk advertised 2 different deals, the first being guaranteed 27 hours in Amsterdam for £49, with local pick-up points. The second was £99 this trip included 2 nights hotel stay with breakfast included, you departed very late Thursday evening and then had Fridays and Saturday to explore Amsterdam before being brought back to England on Sunday morning. This sounded idea, but when I rang up to book unfortunately this trip was fully booked, so we opted for the 27 hours in Amsterdam.
Our nearest pick up point was in Coventry, I ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Dam Express
Hilton Amsterdam is an ideal location for both the business and leisure traveller situated in one of the most exclusive areas in the city - indeed in the Netherlands. The hotel has in it\\\'s neighbourhood the most exclusive shopping streets in Amsterdam and the commercial and financial center of the city are closeby. The hotel borders on a canal and overlooks it\\\'s own garden and Marina which is filled in the summer with beautiful antique wooden boats. The Hilton Amsterdam opened in 1962, being the first international Hilton Hotel in Europe and the first international hotel in The Netherlands. Designed in 1958 by the Dutch architect Maaskant, its structure continued along the same lines of Berlage\\\'s earlier ideas. The hotel\\\'s characteristic V-shape is significant as it shows where the two main avenues of Amsterdam meet, the Apollolaan and the Minervalaan.
