Hotel Blu

Staff very friendly and professional

Didn t have enough reception staff on there was always a long wait for them

Generally the staff were helpful approachable The room is spacious clean comfortable Location can be considered v good Several Bus tram stops are within walking distances Bus 69 from the airport stops near the hotel takes you to the airport on your return journey That s v convenient

Had to wait for about one half hour to have a kettle replaced despite several reminders

Breakfast

Overcharged I originally booked for 8 days but due to late arrival of my mother s passport and visa I had to change to 2 days I contacted the hotel enroute to Amsterdam and they hiked up the price of the room to 721 euros for two days They said a cancellation would cost 400 Euros When we arrived they confirmed that a room was normally150 euros and 2 rooms for 4 guests would be 300 but they had only a single room with 2 double beds for which they would charge 560 euros for the first night and 160 for the second night I have been booking through booking com for several years and previously was offered a 10 discount I have never paid 560 euros day for a standard three star best western twin double bed room ever I feel booking com best western should investigate and refund us the excess charged They did offer us free breakfast and car parking but only on request

The staff were very nice and patient when asked for information The place looked clean

Received bites only after sleeping there potential bed bug infection They should also have more staff ready to assist when the queue is long

Clean and spacious room beds are super comfortable Great service as well

The wifi was weak in our room didn t work most of the time

Clean rooms but room service staff kept annoying me after I had declined service

Far from city would be better to pay extra for city hotel if you want to stay out till late as taxi drivers will charge you 40 euro once they see your tourist

Great location Plenty cheap fruit shops markets

No complaints

Great location away from the centre of Amsterdam but close enough to nip back for a change of clothes and a shower before heading back into town for the evening For the price you will not find much better value for money around the city

The room walls could have been cleaner Seem to remember a similar review But we didn t mention it so who knows if they would have had a scrub down had we complained The breakfast is half decent at best

Poor internet connection in the room

Although in the western suburbs it had excellent public transport connections to both the city centre and the airport The hotel provided all that we ask for in terms of comfort not luxury

The outlook from the window was onto an internal courtyard and flat roof but we were not there for the view The entrance where smokers have to go was a bit scruffy
