Hotels near Oeverlanden - Uitkijkpunt, Amsterdam

Would rate it lower if I could. The room was terrible. It was small and there was next to one space to store clothes, and while this didn't bother me for my 2 night stay, it would be really inappropriate for any longer stay. Toilet and shower are shared with many other rooms and are poorly kept. Cracked tiles, random empty bottles of shampoo and condition etc just left in a pile on the floor. There is a sink in the room, but our tap was cracked and sprayed water out the side when you turned it on. There is also a lot of noise outside, as late as even 11pm and with our window broken, we couldn't close it properly to help shut out some of the noise. Food in the bar below is good but VERY expensive for what you get. We also paid for breakfast included and it was nice to help yourself to bread, a toaster, some crackers, deli meat and cheese but... it was just stuff that they bought from the Lidl literally right across the road, about 20 metres away. Not worth how much they were charging for it. They also double charged us and are refusing to give a refund. We spoke to staff at the time and they all seemed friendly and happy to help but couldn't do anything. It was all ”Oh, I'll text the person who is doing the breakfast tomorrow”. She didn't. And when we explained it to the person on breakfast her only suggestion was also to text a co-worker. They took our details and said they'd email us about it. They didn't. We had to chase them up with multiple emails which they all ignored, so we emailed the company through whom we booked the stay. They contacted Abina who claimed that they'd already sent the refund through. They hadn't, which we have proven with bank statements. They still haven't. As of writing this it's been 6 weeks since our stay. No refund and extremely poor communication from Abina through and through. Absolute worst hotel experience to date. Don't stay here.

Stayed at this hotel in July '23 whilst on a short break to Amsterdam. The hotel has plenty of on street parking which is approx 16euro per day. The hotel is typical Holiday Inn Express quality with a good shower, bed could have been comfortable. The AC was very good. Breakfast can get busy but the spread is good. The location is very good, around 20 minutes into the city centre using public transport which is very close the hotel. Good local shops and restaurants. Would recommend.

Good stay but the shuttle was very disorganised and the bus driver was rude and unhelpful explaining the stops the shuttle was makibg. This wasn't helped by the fact that 2 of the hotels are called Of us Amsterdam airport and have a similar address on the website. The only distinguishing feature being the word budget. Overall good and was able to get in to Amsterdam for the evening whilst being close to the airport.

Pros Close to bus stop to get into town Shuttle bus from airport Good breakfast selection Decent gym Decent reception area Cons Ultra soft bed Pillows not great Very low ceiling in the bathroom (an issue if you’re tall) Rooms are still pretty dated despite the advertised makeover Toilet paper like sandpaper Wifi not working meaning a much delayed checkin

The hotel is close to public transport (10 minute walk) and the staff are quite friendly. They had a nice little store so you could buy a beer or bag of chips late at night. The only thing that stops me from putting 5 stars…no usb outlets. I totally get that the outlets for power are not universal, but everybody has a phone, and a USB port by the bed is needed for people that don’t have a wall adapter. Add that and this place would get 5 stars.

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)

The hotel had really modern/smart technologies. It's ina really nice place in the Amsterdam right behind the tramway. Friendly staff and luxurious apartments. Great vfm.

We loved our stay at Zaan Hotel. Fantastic location. It is just opposite to the train station, from where you can access trains to the airport, Amsterdam and various other destinations. The train to Amsterdam is only about 12 minutes ride. The train to the airport is only 3 stops away and about 18 mins ride. There is a fairly large supermarket opposite the hotel. It being in the heart of Zaandam, has several cafes, restaurants and beautiful shops as well as high street stores extremely nearby. We had a great time walking around the shopping street and also got to enjoy local Dutch food at the cafes. The hotel location is EXCELLENT in one word. Fairytale place is how we would describe Zaandam. We were very happy with the service at the hotel too. Our comfort family room was spacious. The fridge in the room is very useful. Our rooms were cleaned everyday and toiletries replenished. The staff were very helpful. All areas of the hotel are very well maintained, clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast was lovely too and so was the dinner. We would strongly recommend this hotel to everyone planning a trip in the Netherlands.
