Wyndham Apollo Hotel Amsterdam - Amsterdam, Netherlands 

"would strongly recommend "
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
Golden Tulip Apollo Amsterdam is a beautiful place on the outskirts of the downtown area. It was always quiet, clean, and the staff were extremely polite and helpful. I would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Amsterdam.

Far far away

The people were friendly and the location is nice, at the waterside. The view from the room was great, BUT<br>You have to walk five minutes to the tram, and then it is fifteen minutes to anywhere interesting. So you loose at least half an hour every day. Amsterdam trams are fun - but not that fun!<br>The breakfast buffet is very, very overpriced. The selection of food is way below what you find at a medium priced Scandinavian hotel, and the quality is low: like the cheese is dry, the fruit brownish, and no specialities. In addition we were not informed that the breakfast was not included - and price information was really hard to find. It was somewhere at the room we were told.<br>In general the hotel was clean - but when I tried to hang my trousers over a rail at the room - no one had cleaned it, and thye got dirty. (I hanged it there cause there were only four hangers.<br>Internet connection is not included - and the price is way off - like a business hotel five years ago. Also, no safe at the room - probaly at other rooms, as they said they had it.

We (husband and myself) arranged a last minute, short break in Amsterdam. We read a few reviews of this hotel before booking and can confirm the positive ones. This hotel is well-kept with pleasant and helpful staff. It is in a quiet location, within easy walking distance of the lively neighbourhood of the Pjip, where there is a range of restaurants and shops and a market. We ate dinner in the hotel and the food was good. We found a lovely little tea-room 5 minutes walk away (de bakkerswinkel in roelof hartstraat) where you could eat well (breakfast through to high tea). The museum quarter is close by, too, and you can take a canal boat from just outside the Rijksmuseum into the centre of Amsterdam, or right round the city. With hindsight, the only thing we might change would be our means of booking this hotel. You can go direct to the hotel website and get discounts on rooms pre-paid with booking. This means that you could specify a room with a view over the canals - definitely worth it!
