We really enjoyed being by the water and layout of our room, which included a kitchenette and separate seating area. The staff were all excellent as well. It’s about a 15-20 min walk to the downtown core, so if you prefer to step right out of your lobby into the hub, it may not be for you, but we found the location perfect. It gave us the opportunity to see the Amsterdam port in action, watch the barges, there was an extensive walking/cycling trail system right outside our door, and it has a great waterfront patio.
