ibis Amsterdam Centre Stopera

Vibrant economy hotel, open to everyone

A 3-star central Amsterdam hotel with canal views, ibis Amsterdam Centre Stopera has a peaceful location and comfortable rooms just east of the city centre. As many Amsterdam companies and landmarks - Waterlooplein, the Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum - are within half an hour's walk, it's an affordable option for business and leisure travellers alike. With a 24-hour takeaway, an extensive breakfast buffet and late-night bites or drinks in our sociable bar, you can go get what you came for in Amsterdam.

Sightseeing? Book our modern Amsterdam accommodation and you'll find the city simple to explore on foot. It's 6 minutes' walk from Stopera on Waterlooplein - where there's a weekend flea market - and 13 minutes from late-night Rembrandtplein. Museums within walking distance include the Rembrandt House Museum, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frank House. Amsterdam Centraal is 15 minutes' stroll, and once there you can hop on boat cruises past stately waterside mansions on the elegant Canal Ring.

Metro Line 53 from Waterlooplein (6 minutes) takes you to Amsterdam Centraal in 2 stops, and from there it's a 15-minute train ride to Schiphol Airport. Driving? There's a public parking garage 4 minutes' walk from our reliable hotel near the Stopera.

Thank you for choosing our Amsterdam hotel with canal views - we know you'll sleep well in our peaceful rooms! With so much to do and see within walking distance, we hope you'll also drop into our convivial sports bar for live matches and a beer or two.

What went well Walking distance to NEMO, Artis Zoo and the Maritime Museum. Easy public transit access via trams and buses. Great canal and Amsterdam townhouse views. Helpful staff and good food. What didn't go well Virtually no soundproofing — the walls are so thin you may as well be sleeping outside. Rooms are small, amenities are limited, and the photos are considerably more flattering than the reality.

Dear Dimitar, We appreciate you letting us know about your recent visit. We are pleased to hear our central location allowed you to explore Amsterdam’s key attractions effortlessly. Your recognition of our staff’s helpfulness and the quality of meals served in IBIS KITCHEN Restaurant is truly appreciated. However, we sincerely regret that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. Regarding the comfort of your room, we offer earplugs at reception and recommend requesting higher-floor canal view rooms during future bookings for enhanced tranquility. Lastly, it’s wonderful you appreciated our proximity to cultural landmarks like NEMO and Artis Zoo. We take pride in providing convenient access to Amsterdam’s vibrant heart while offering comfortable spaces to unwind after busy days of exploration. Thank you again for your feedback; we hope you will return for a more enjoyable stay. Kind regards, Team Ibis Amsterdam Centre Stopera

Stayed before and like the location. Check-in took too long; you either need a far more efficient process, or more people on duty to keep the queue down. Room wasn’t cleaned on the first morning, despite me leaving the sign out. Room was cleaned on the second morning, but no towels were left in the room. Leaving bags on the last morning and then collecting them again took too long. Again, that was due to a convoluted check-in process keeping your single colleague busy for at least ten minutes each time.

Dear Stuart, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We are pleased to hear our location continues to be a highlight of your visits to Amsterdam, offering easy access to explore the city’s vibrant heart. We sincerely apologize that certain aspects of your experience fell short this time. Delays during check-in and departure are not the standard we aim for, and we regret the inconvenience this caused. Please know your comments on enhancing efficiency have been shared with our team for review. While housekeeping services are scheduled daily, we acknowledge the oversight in room servicing and towel replenishment and are addressing this with our staff to prevent recurrence. Nonetheless, we appreciate your continued trust in our team and loyalty as a Classic member. Should your travels bring you back, our reception remains available around the clock to assist with any needs during your stay. We hope we have the opportunity of seeing you again in the future. Kind regards, Team Ibis Amsterdam Centre Stopera

We needed a spoon to eat something in our room. You wouldn't give us one. Wow.

Dear Sam, Thank you for your honest feedback. Rest assured, it will be used to improve our service. We sincerely apologize that your experience with our amenities did not meet your expectations. Our team strives to provide all necessary items upon request, and we regret any inconvenience caused during your stay.

Sam T. Friends - 4/10/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Upon arrival while enquiring about dropping bags off, it was mentioned about signing up to get early check-in instead. Happy to just leave the bags and after some internet issues, the assistant helping was very pushy in saying it's our fault that it's not loading and that we need to get our access code otherwise we can't check in. I told him that we'll come back later and we only wanted to drop our bags off anyway and that we're happy to pay to avoid spending more time refreshing a webpage, which was met with "No it's expensive just get the code and I can check you in." I decided to just leave and come back, which prompted "No I've checked you in already so I need the code but you can get the code later and bring it down." A very awkward and uncomfortable arrival, with the same person then serving me in the bar shortly after, blaming keg pressure or the glass on a poorly poured Stella which was all froth. Another colleague came over and pulled the pint no problem, it was disappointing considering the cost of the property to receive such poor service from the gentleman working around 1pm 08/04/26.

Dear Sam, Thank you for sharing your opinion with us. We are glad to hear that your interactions with our bar team left a positive impression during your stay. That said, we sincerely apologize that your experience at check-in did not reflect the high standards we aim to maintain. Your comments about the process have been noted, and we regret any inconvenience caused by the technical difficulties encountered. Our team is available around the clock to assist guests with any needs, and we will reinforce the importance of clear communication in these situations. We hope you will consider staying with us again in the future. Best regards, Team Ibis Amsterdam Centre Stopera

Sarah B. Couples - 4/8/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Staff were very helpful and couldn't do more but the rooms were shockingly dirty and the cleaning was absent in the days we stayed they visited once and the towels were poor quality

Dear Sarah, Thank you for providing your observations. We are delighted to hear you found our team both friendly and attentive during your stay. Their commitment to providing thoughtful service is something we take great pride in. That said, we sincerely apologize that aspects of housekeeping and amenities did not meet the standards we aim to uphold. While daily cleaning is part of our regular service, we acknowledge there were clear shortcomings in execution during your visit. Please know all linen undergoes rigorous quality checks, and we’ve shared your observations with housekeeping leadership to reinforce protocols. We certainly hope that we can welcome you back again. Best regards, Team Ibis Amsterdam Centre Stopera
