Park Inn by Radisson Amsterdam City West

I absolutely loved my stay at Park Inn by Radisson Amsterdam City West! The room was spacious and very well designed—just made sure to request a non-corner room when checking in, and it worked out perfectly. Getting to the airport by taxi cost around €20, which is reasonable. While it's a bit of a walk to Central Station, the nearest metro station is just a two-minute stroll away, making public transit super convenient. I was really impressed with the soundproofing—no noise from the hallway or outside, so peaceful sleep. The bathroom was huge, clean, and modern, adding to the overall comfort. Everything about this hotel felt thoughtfully put together. If you're visiting Amsterdam, whether for business or leisure, I highly recommend staying here—it’s an excellent choice.
