Hotels near Playground, Almere

The location in IJburg is not, of course, the city centre. With the train 26, the Central Station is well reachable in about 20 minutes. A supermarket is located between the end station (there is also a ticket machine) and the hotel. Availability with the PPNV is a train or car arrival that you can leave in the parking house (there are cheaper parking places than in the hotel itself). Breakfast is very good. We can also express wishes that are then freshly prepared (e.g. mirror, omelet). Heat drinks are available by self-service from the full-automat. There is also a delicious hot chocolate here. The room looks a little unfinished. Gray walls without color. There is no closet, but only a cord with clothing bar. A small treasury, a TV with, among others, German broadcasters (ARD, ZDF, RTL) there is also. The bathroom separates a milk glass slide door, but it leaves a gap open that should be taken into account when you do not pin the room alone. The bathroom is wet when you do it, because the shower is only half closed and there is no door. The hotel is recommended if you can make a little bit at the price, 200 euros per night would be too much.

Not quite sure why there are so many negative reviews calling this place unacceptable, for the price you pay you’re definitely getting your moneys worth and some. The male young receptionist was friendly at check in and guided us to our room (although he didn’t know some answers about basic questions about the area, such as he incorrectly told us the wrong time for the last trams, he was very kind but maybe the staff could be told some answers to the most common questions). The junior suite was extremely spacious, had a lovely bathroom, lots of mirrors which was nice, large bed and lots of light windows overlooking the dock. The room was fab, however like some other reviews state sometimes there was a mysterious odour, particularly on the last day, but it wasn’t unbearable. Could definitely do with some harder mattresses which would definitely improve everyone’s experience but I still slept perfectly. Location is perfect for the price, only a 14min tram away from Amsterdam Centraal. The coffee pods and machine in the room were nice but could also put some biscuits there too which would be amazing. Maybe needs a repaint of the room but it’s safe to say i’d definitely stay again

Lot of good things about this hotel. Brilliant accessibility. One cannot ask for more. Hotel is right in front of the metro so accessibility to any place is not an issue. We even took an early morning train to the airport. Rooms were spacious with good air-conditioning. Room service was done everyday, but could have been better. Customer service was good and a no nonsense check in and check out. They even gave us some packed breakfast the day we had to leave at 4 am. And I must mention the breakfast was amazing with a huge spread and you can get almost everything. Overall the best place with value for money if you are in Amsterdam and central is hardly ten mins away by train.

A nice holiday house, but no staff at night.

Reception staff were polite, friendly and helpful, however Some of the evening bar staff were rude We asked for a table of 14 for our night cap drinks and noticed there was a table in the bar/ restaurant area which we asked to sit at but the bar staff flatly refused and said that we couldn’t have a drink and the bar was closed this was at 22:20 hours We informed them we were residents but they refused to seat us We did eventually get a drink but there was no notification of any last orders, so when we asked for another drink at 22:50 hrs they refused yet again Told us the bar was closed and to finish any drinks we had in reception or our rooms as the bar was closed The rooms were on the small side and very dark, the lighting is awful One of the rooms in our party had no hairdryer Our safe did not work The only toiletries are shower/hair gel (no conditioner or body lotion There were building works on the grounds opposite all our rooms which we were never notified of and the train track is right next door to the hotel which is very noisy all Hours of the day The room doors have an alarm if not closed correctly and if someone does not close their door it’s rather annoying when your trying to sleep (which happened near to our room) 😡 The hotel is based quite a way from the central area therefore it’s a tram journey, bus or taxi or a 30-40 minute walk into central station so a no for location from us On the plus side The room was clean, beds were comfy (although on wheels therefore they move easily) The foyer, bar and toilet areas were also clean We didn’t use the gym, pool or spa facilities so I can not comment on those areas

We chose to stay in Edam because it was central to all of the towns we wanted to visit in the Netherlands. We wanted somewhere charming, quiet, and less overwhelming than Amsterdam. This hotel gave us exactly what we wanted. Edam has a very peaceful vibe and so does this hotel. We stayed in a Junior Suite on the ground floor that was right on the canal. It felt very private and had a great view. The room was clean and decorated very uniquely with lots of colors. I really appreciated this! The free breakfast was in their lovely dining room. The croissants were especially good! We told them we needed parking in advance of our stay, and we were given a parking pass for a nearby parking lot. Which was free for us and worked out perfectly. This hotel is also very close to the bus station. It was a very easy 5-10 minute walk there so we could take a bus to Amsterdam for the day. We highly recommend this hotel and town!
