فندق مركيور Mercure أمستردام سلوتردجيك ستايشن 4 نجوم

Location is good enough, short train ride from the airport and to the centre (5min). The Hotel looks nice on the outside. but personally I did not like it and I don’t think it can be classified as 4*. Cleaning was awful, had hair from previous guest in the sink and on one of the coffee mugs and the box where the tea/coffee is stored. The carpet on the room has seen better days, and one of the mattresses was dirty (and nor comfortable). Room size was good. We had breakfast one of the days and it was passable, for the price you pay in the centre just for a coffee, this was worth it, and also, the staff was very nice in there. During check in they weren’t nice at all, like they were doing me a favor, did not acknowledge me as an Accor member nor the welcoming drink that I’m entitled to, and gave me the wrong room number and key (we booked 2 rooms, one wasn’t ready yet as it was a hit early), and when I came down to say it to them, they asked “did you go to the right one?” (hmm, yes I did, to the room number that was written down lol), they didn’t even apologized properly. The night staff were nicer. Also, no body cream or conditioner available in the room (I would expect this in a 4*). Internet was very slow.

Lovely clean, spacious rooms. Great location as its near the train station (2 min walk) and hence you can access Amsterdam central easily. Good service and local spar and other shops in the station mean you can buy whatever you need. I was very impressed!

ABSOLUTELY A 10/10. I WOULD RECOMMEND WITH MY EYES CLOSED. Room was very clean, the view at the sky restaurant for breakfast was absolutely fantastic. Breakfast was freshly made every morning, along with the freshly made juices. This place is a 20 out of 10 for me.

We've just returned from a 4 night stay at the hotel having booked specifically for a Les Mills Live event at the Sugar Factory. We wanted somewhere which was close to the venue and to central Amsterdam for a bit of sightseeing in between and it was the hotel being close to the train station as one of the trains we booked it and we weren't disappointed either. Firstly the hotel looks nice and modern inside the reception area and staff we encountered there were very pleasant and all spoke good English. We had a room on the 6th floor (604) which was also a privilege room, so was larger than the standard room with some added extras such as free access to the mini bar which is refilled each day with 6 drinks including bottles of water and soft drinks. There is a wardrobe with hanging space (although no drawers apart from 2 in the bathroom), also in the room was a coffee maker, kettle, hair dryer, robes and slippers and an ironing facilities). The TV in the room did have some BBC channels which were in English although our remote control was a little bit temperamental. The bed was large and comfortable and the room was air conditioned and had a desk and a couple of chairs. The bathroom which is essentially a wet room had a large rainfall shower with toilet and sink and the whole room was modern. We had breakfast included in our room rate and we utilised that everyday. This was in the 8th floor and has views of the area which is pleasant. The food was really nice and there was a wide variety of it along with the usual selection of hot drinks. The hotel doesn't do evening meals in the restaurant which is a shame but there are a couple of decent places to eat nearby and also with a mention in the lobby, the hotel does have some snacks and drinks to purchase if you get peckish at any time. All in all we really enjoyed the hotel, the rooms were cleaned each day if you chose, rather than the sign on the door handle that most hotels have to let staff know whether to clean the room or do not disturb, this hotel has a couple of buttons to press echo illuminate outside of the door instead which was a nice touch. As mentioned in the review title, the bonus for us was the proximity to the train station, this is literally a couple of minutes walk from the hotel and we found the trains in Amsterdam to be extremely reliable and frequent and we used these daily. It cost approximately 12-14 euros for a day return for both of us and this can be used on as many journeys for that particular day. Central Amsterdam is only about a 7 minute ride away, Schipol airport is around the same so as much as a couple of reviews say the hotel is in the middle of nowhere, the train station means you can easily go to many places in very little time so don't let that put you off because I'd imagine staying in central Amsterdam will also mean paying a premium price whereas this hotel was really well priced in my view. For me the transport links were a winner so I can only recommend staying at this hotel and if we ever visited again, we'd definitely consider staying again.

Overpriced. In the middle of nowhere. No shops, no restaurants, TV only in Dutch. Nothing to do. Restaurant only for breakfast, for $40
