Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam - Sloterdijk Station, an IHG Hotel

The hotel is in a great location, right next to Amsterdam Sloterdijk station, so getting around is very easy. You only need to take one stop to reach the city center. There’s a market open until late right under the hotel, and there are also some places to eat nearby, including options at the station. Check-in was smooth, and the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were generally nice, and the beds were comfortable and clean. Breakfast was enough, and even though it was busy, we didn’t have trouble finding a table. The room was clean enough for me; I noticed some stains on the carpet, but since we wore shoes in the room, it didn’t bother me.

•Distance from both the center and the airport (less than 10 min) •Decent breakfast, good variety for a couple of days •Good wifi connection •The room was clean and well-maintained. Also, there was more than enough room for two people •Supermarket in the ground level (open until midnight)

The exterior of the hotel looks quite ordinary, but the interior is very modern. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and tidy, making it quite comfortable. Since we checked in very late (11:45PM) on the first day, the hot water in the hotel bathroom was unstable, sometimes cold and sometimes hot. The floors were quite low, and the windows were close to the street, so it was noisy. The next day, I communicated with the front desk, and they immediately arranged for us to change rooms. The hotel is just one stop from the airport, about a 10-minute by train. From the train station, turn left and walk for three minutes to reach the hotel front desk. It’s also just one stop by train to Amsterdam city centre, about 10 minutes, so it’s very convenient to visit any attractions in Amsterdam. The hotel staff, including the front desk, breakfast staff, and cleaners, were all very friendly. A simple breakfast is provided every day. Since we stayed for 5 days, the breakfast felt a bit repetitive (except for one type of cheese that changes every other day). It would be nice if the breakfast options could change every other day. There is a convenience store downstairs that operates until midnight, making it very convenient to buy snacks and drinks.

The location was perfect for us, 20 mins to Central Station by the GVB, which is a cheap train service, similar to underground.The station is right next door to the hotel There is a Spar right next door to the hotel and the beds are very comfy, the room was clean and the shower was so nice. Hairdryer provided too. Breakfast was plentiful although I did miss my bacon and sausage but a vast range of options. The hot menu was toast, tomato, scrambled egg, boiled egg, but overall very nice. And the catering staff were very pleasant. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

It was a nice surprise. The room was comfortable, the towels where changed everyday, the location is good (not city centre but one train station away from it), the station facing room is still quiet. The breakfast has poor variety but enough. Requested to upgrade the room (paying) and was totally ignored.
