Campanile Hotel & Restaurant Amsterdam Zuid-Oost - Amsterdam, Netherlands 

Not the best
Posted: Wed, Nov 21 2007
3 of us stayed in this hotel for a long weekend in Amsterdam. When we arrived we were greeted by very friendly daytime staff. The rooms in the place are extremely small. All the rooms are built for 2 people even then you would be short of space. As there were 3 of us the shoved another camper bed into what little space we had. Rooms are cleaned everyday if you leave early enough otherwise not. There is no room service, night staff are miserable and rude. The hotel couln't be further away from Amsterdam city centre. Fair enough the tube station is right outside the hotel and it's only a 20 minute journey into Centraal station, but if you are planning on staying out past when the tubes shut, taking the night bus is extemely long. The number 357 goes from Centraal station all night and takes about an hour. They do not stick to the time tables so you will just have to wait untill one turns up. If you are like us and and going to Amsterdam to get stoned, get yourself a hotel that is in the city centre and walking distance from everywhere. Not too impressed with hotel, because of size of rooms, rude night staff (daytime staff are wonderful), no room service and main reason is distance from town centre. Many people who have used this hotel mention the nice park that is there, believe me it's not all that and there is nothing in the surrounding area, no shops, restaurants, petrols sations, news agents. Nada, nothing, zilch. Please avoid at all costs would be my best advice.

Think Twice

This hotel was a big disappointment for us, nothing what we expected. Hotel website and pictures are very misleading. My husband and I booked this hotel for 3 nights, but upon arrival, I did not want to even check in, but, I had already confirmed with my credit card and would be charged anyway for the first night, so we stayed, but the next morning we checked out. I will not stay here again or recommend this hotel to my family and friends.
