Hotels near De Ginesi Speeltuin, Amsterdam

We are staying at the Intercontinental hotels as our main hotel and have been most impressed. Our stay at the Amstel was so pleasant! The staff was absolutely amazing, every person we encounter was so helpful and kind. It is impossible to single out anyone as each team member was great. We ate at the hotel all of our meals except one and the food and service were perfect. We were so grateful that although the afternoon tea was full they were able to accommodate us in another beautiful location where our view was spectacular. We are in hotels 150 nights a year and our experience at the Amstel was one of the very best. The staff members were such nice quality people. They thanked us for allowing them to provide assistance to us. We were so humbled by the generosity of the hotel staff. While dining everyone pitches in and help one another and whatever we could want was provided immediately. Thank you very much with complete sincerity and gratitude. The management should be commended for encouraging such terrific service. We look forward to our next visit to Amsterdam and staying at the Amstel.

It is a house with local characteristics. It has a good location. It is ten minutes away from the central railway station. It is beside the canal and there are many foods around. It is also a ten-minute walk to Dam Square.

I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights on business. My experience was generally positive however there are some areas for consideration before you reserve. The hotel is a long walk with luggage from the train station. It is positioned in a street where one of your neighbours is a Red Cross centre. There are some issues with either homeless or fragile people in the area during the night. I am a 2m tall man so it does not bother me but it would not be the same if I was a woman. Upsides include the proximity of a large supermarket. The hotel itself is quite modern. I was in a room with a private terrace but it was actually in the basement so natural light was very limited. My room was comfortable and furnished according to the standards of the brand. The bathroom was clean and modern. My room did have a number of cobwebs on the ceiling which is in part, no doubt, due to being on level -1. The rooms are separated into several buildings joined by passageways so bear this in mind if you have a big suitcase, it may take a while to reach your room. The breakfast room is only open for breakfast which is a shame, since there is no restaurant (which is normal for the brand, no issues) and the space would be useful to eat (delivered or take away) dinner. At reception there are, in my opinion, too many people milling around. When I arrived it took a moment to raise their attention from chatting amongst themselves and get started on the paperwork, added to which after giving my passport they gave me someone else’s paperwork. Remember the first impression for a frequent traveller is how efficient you are - less people to chat with would mean more focus on the job. While I was there IHG suffered a well publicised data breach so I am not commenting on the issues regarding computer system failures. Finally, I would say this is a hotel which makes sense for a couple with little luggage and no work pressures.

Hotel is very convenient as it is located near to the Amsterdam Central station. The gym has most equipment but the pool is small so it’s not for swimming, just for hanging out at the pool. Rooms can get a little noisy as it’s near a busy shopping district. There’s the usual Nespresso machine, tea. No complimentary water, no in room slippers unless one is in the premium rooms. No toothbrush, toothpaste etc, jus tiny shampooo, conditioner and shower gels. No usb charging port, just a uk electrical port and two Europe ports. One of the thing I like about this hotel is that one can opt out of room service and choose between a food voucher, bottle of wine or hotel points. Overall it’s a clean and comfortable hotel located in a prime location.

Hotel was great for the price you pay. The rooms are tiny (barely enough room to open a suitcase) and although situated conveniently next to a metro station is in the middle of nowhere but again, you get what you pay for and the lobby, gym and communal areas are well designed and well kept. If you don’t mind a 15/20min Metro travel to Amsterdam Centraal you wouldn’t mind it here I give the hotel 2 stars because I accidentally left my Apple Airpod headphones in the lobby area the day I checked out to visit another hotel in Amsterdam, although when I called Hotel Leonardo that same night to ask them if they’d been handed in I was told they hadn’t. I travelled down to the hotel the next morning to be told the same thing, that there were no headphones that had been handed in but they asked for my name and previous room number so they could contact me should they turn up. Luckily I was able to make my lost AirPods make a sound (findmyiphone feature you can activate when you lose a device) and I could hear them beeping behind the front desk so I told the receptionist that I knew they were behind the desk and she eventually handed them over. I firmly believe the hotel staff were trying to keep my misplaced AirPods headphones and if I had not been able to make the sound from the Airpods they would have pocketed them

Trust me you will not be disappointed. The hotel is clean and modern. The hospitality is beyond amazing. The friendliest front desk that is available 24/7. Location is spot on. Train station, including busses, metro etc across the road and no more than a 5 minute walk. Was 1 stop to get into the centre of Amsterdam and very easy to navigate the public transport to venture into different neighborhoods as well. Hands down I will recommend hotel2stay to everyone heading to Amsterdam ! Thank you so much to all the staff that made our stay so pleasurable.

It was an awesome experience and pleasure to stay in this wonderful hotel. The service was excellent and they took a good care of us and the birthday surprise!

I chose this hôtel as I was travelling from the UK to see Dépêche Mode at the Ziggo Dome. And stayed two nights. Jaz in the City is just steps away from the Ziggo entrance so you can’t get any closer! It’s also great as a base for Amsterdam sightseeing. From the airport there’s a direct train (hotel is a 10-15 min walk from Bijlmer ArenA station). You can also hop on the metro here for a 20 min ride to Centraal. As Amsterdams public transport is so good (compared to Bristol in the UK where I live) you can confidently rely on it to get you wherever you need to be efficiently! Staff at the hotel are super friendly and helpful. From front desk, bar, restaurant and housekeeping. Everyone (thankfully) spoke English which is ideal for me as I can just about say hello and thank you in Dutch! Special shout out to Mr Omelette Maker at breakfast. The perfect start to a day of sightseeing!! I’m sure they’re are cheaper options but I’m of an age where I understand that you get what you pay for. This hotel in my opinion is great. It looks good, is super clean and well maintained and importantly ＜feels＞ good.

The hotel was great. Very good quality of the equipment. But the services from the Reception was very unkind. The online booking was not great because they announced in Booking website they are not charge the credit card before the the date of the arrival. But they have tried a lot of time to charge my credit card during more than 1 week then they blocked my bank account because my bank though a tentative of fraud. I paid my bank to unblock and made a new credit card. They said it was to save the room... So they are not really in phase with the information giving on their profile in Booking.com. After that, at our arrival, they tried to charge more than expected my reservation (the amount they blocked in my credit card + the full amount of my entire reservation so more than 420 Euros)

Great hotel. Modern, clean with plenty of space in the room. Shower excellent. All amenities provided including a gym and pizza restaurant/bar downstairs. Rate was reasonable and very close to Noord rail station. The only issue is that Noord is a developing area and there is not much going on outside the hotel. A train trip is required to visit downtown Amsterdam which is 2 stops away. Great for business travellers.
