Swissôtel Amsterdam

Staying at Swissôtel Amsterdam was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The room was spacious and beautifully designed, making it feel like a home away from home.

Also, during peak times, the area can get quite busy, but overall, the city does a great job keeping public spaces clean. That said, there are still occasional littering issues, which is a shame. Still, the convenience, comfort, and quality of service make this hotel an excellent choice—highly recommended!

Mercure Amsterdam North Station

Staying here for four nights was a great experience overall. The breakfast was excellent—varied, fresh, and included salmon, which was a nice touch. Omelets and fried eggs were made to order right in front of us, and they tasted fantastic. That said, having the same menu every day started getting a bit repetitive by the fourth morning. The hot chocolate from the machine was a highlight—it was rich and perfectly warm. The triple room had one queen bed and two single beds, so everyone had their own space, and it felt spacious enough to unpack all our 30-inch suitcases. The bathroom was large and well-designed, though the lack of a shower curtain meant water splashed out during showers—something worth noting. Location is unbeatable: just steps from the train station, making public transit and rideshares like Uber super convenient. I’d definitely stay here again if visiting Amsterdam again, especially for travelers who value location and comfort.
