Ibis Amsterdam Airport Badhoevedorp  

This hotel is excellent for the price. The rooms are small and clean and functional. Reminds me of the Howard Johnsons of days gone by.A couple of standouts/comments for improvement:--the free shuttle from Schipohl (sp?) Amsterdam Airport: excellent! On time, and picked up at midnight. Call hotel for schedule. It also starts back up early in the AM.--the desk staff: quick, efficient and multilingual. Thumbs up!--the bartender (Fidai??)At the hotel bar. Very helpful and entertaining. Thanks for introducing me to Dutch cuisine--deep fried croquettes filled with mashed potatoes and ground beef. Not necessarily my style, but interesting nonetheless! And I'll be back to see the flowers!--no washcloths in room: is this a Dutch thing?? Not sure, but thumbs down for that. Towels were plentiful.----no operational TV in room: the remote showed that you have to slip a card into the remote in order to operate the TV...I wasn't given a card for this @ check-in...but I didn't stay long enough 2 watch TV either. Just an FYI....you may have to pay to see TV. --no clock or clock radio in room. Be sure to bring your own clock. You can get free wake up calls though.

Great stop over hotel for one or two nights with frequent free transfers to/from Schipol Airport/Train connections.Around 18 minutes from Amsterdam central by train 4.40 euros. Rooms functional, on site bar /dining plus vending machines for out of hours.

Airport hotel, good value with "sleep, fly & park" formula (up to 3 weeks free parking), otherwise too expensive for the basic rooms and service. Regular shuttel service. Decent restaurant.
