DoubleTree by Hilton Amsterdam Centraal Station

Very convenient location right next to station. Easy tram access if you don’t fancy walking all the time in A’dam.

The best part of the Doubletree is probably it's location. It's next to Amsterdam Centraal and really close to the Centrum area as well as to transit for exploring the city but still far enough away that its relatively quiet and not too noisy. Theres also an Albert Heijn just three doors down from the main entrance where you can go to grab good but cheap baked goods and pastries and decent sandwiches for budget breakfast and snacks if you want to save some money. The hotel is modern and clean, and the suite was a good size for a family for four, having and separate bedroom was good for privacy although the suites are all corner units and the main room is sharply triangular in shape which makes it harder to use all the space fully. Service was also good with the staff being responsible to requests. They did only give us three sets of towels for four people but extra towels and pillows were delivered directly to our room quickly upon request. We did have an issue during our stay where none of the TV channels worked on either of the two TV's in our room. This was reported to reception who noted it was an external IT issue that was being resolved but the TV's never worked during the four nights we stayed there and it was never rectified, that was the only real blemish during our stay.

Location, breakfast buffet was superb!

The hotel is pets friendly which we didn't know until we get there. So when we first got into our room, there was a strange odor which wasn't strong but exists. Took us a day to figure out it might be from pet odor. It is carpet flooring afterall. But the view is spectacular and I love the convenience of it closely adjacent to the Amsterdam central station. Breakfast has a great variety of food and fruits which is wonderful for a good morning start. Staffs are friendly, but it might be cultural differences--they tend to only focus on THE person they are servicing with, and let the next person wait without acknowledging them they are aware of them waiting-- which I thought was quite interesting. Overall good, but since it is in the city center and the room are rather small and not enough storage if you have two big luggages and carry-ons. Will definitely come back again but surely ask for a none-pet friendly room if there is one.
