  • Actually the name of this hotel is wrong in VT's database, it's called Dorint Sofitel Amsterdam-Airport.

    The hotel is located in a new business district of Schiphol, 10 minutes away from the airport by bus. There's a free shuttle bus to and from the airport every half an hour. Make sure to be in front of the hotel early at peak times, sometimes all seats in the bus are taken and you have to wait for the next one. Especially at weekends it's hard to get away from the hotel otherwise.

    The hotel seems to be rather new. I was mighty impressed with the stylish lobby and the comfy rooms and beds.

    Unique Qualities: This hotel is probably the nicest I have ever stayed in. It's got **** stars but offers good rates if you are lucky. We paid just 70 € for a double room (excluding breakfast).

    Using the very stylish wellness area (with sauna, solarium, fitness centre and a pool which unfortunately was a bit too cold) is included in this price.

    Internet usage is free as well, there's a small internet cafe near the reception.

    Holiday Inn at RAI: Nothing special

  • Because of the fact that my boyfriend had a flat in Amsterdam I can't help you with accommodations much. Just one advise: Book early or the best beds are gone!!!

    I stayed at the Holiday Inn close to RAI once when we were over for 1 night a few years ago. It was Holiday Inn standard and not too expensive.

    I think we paid 160 NLG for a double on New Year's eve. There was building work in the hotel so the normal rate might be a bit higher!

    Unique Qualities: Not too far from city centre (A few minutes by Metro (RAI), too far to walk), ok rooms and reasonable prices.

     I've been only in Schiphol during 1 hour :-)) I was rushing too because I thought the airport is not big and spent time in shops/restaurant but suddenly I realized I might lost my plane. Fortunately my plane was delayed a bit cause of weather :-)
