Stayed here because partner was working at RAI Centre for a few days. The tram into city centre was a few minute walk, and they run every 10 mins or so, take you right into the heart of Amsterdam for couple of euros. Excellent for access to shopping or sightseeing during the day or restaurants etc at night. Felt very... more

Like other reviewers, we found the hotel to be comfortable and relatively clean. We stayed for 3 nights. We DID get smoked out in the lobby (apparently the non-smoking law goes into effect July 1, 2008). The breakfast was pretty extensive (and was included in our price). The proximity to the tram was good but the 25 minute commute was... more

Stayed for 2 nights. Nice, clean, comfortable room, friendly staff, nice restaurant. Didn't get smoked out in the lobby. The hotel is about 100m from the RAI station and access to and from Schiphol and the city centre is easy. If you're heading out of Amsterdam then you can take a metro to Amstel, Duivendrecht, Zuid or Sloterdijk rail stations... more

Stayed here for 1 night while on work business. Rooms are standard fare for a Novotel Hotel. Dinner and rooms service were poor. Selection limited. And they charged EUR 10 to use the "gym" which is a small room about 4metres by 4 metres with 3 cardio machines and a weights machine !! Buffet breakfast was standard and nothing special... more

The hotel was what we expected and already fairly described by previous reviewers. The staff were friendly and helpful. We didn't have the breakfast as the price of 20.50 euro is a joke but we did have dinner and found the food and price was good. The hotel was easy to get to from the motorway and only a short... more

We were booked at this hotel for 3 nights by Gate 1 Travel. We were very pleased with our stay there. Our room wasn't huge but was more than adequate. The included breakfast was very extensive and of good quality. The desk staff were very courteous and helpful. The location was excellent for us - it is outside the city... more

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. We had initial problem, my sister and I had booked a twin room but were given a double, when I rang the front desk they just sent up a fold up bed, after going down and talking to them we were given another room. It is a very nice hotel, a short... more

Booked late via Cities Direct (who are excellent and I have used before). Wanted to visit Amsterdam, Easter week so not much choice left. Novotel is approx 25 minute tram ride up to Amsterdam City/Central Station so quite far out. The hotel was like a slightly better travel lodge but still 4Star prices for drinks and food. Pleasant staff in... more

This hotel has problems from the front door to the rooftop, but mostly with the attitude of its staff. Walking into the lobby is like walking into an ashtray despite the no smoking signs. I could feel the cancer cells forming as I stood there. We called after we arrived in Amsterdam and were told that despite the early arrival... more
