Great coffee
It is a good hotel , 15 min walk from city center. The greatest thing is the complimentary coffee they offer.

10/10 Exceptional

Bra hotell med god service
Hotellet ligger ungefär 20 minuters resa med spårvagn 7 eller 14 från centrum, men det inget problem, Enkelt att ta sig direkt från flygplatsen till hållplats 200 meter från hotellet med spårvagn 69, för endast 2,90 Euro.Mycket hjälpsam personal, lite trist reception med en stängd bar. Frukosten kostade 10 Euro om man beställde i förväg i receptionen, annars 12,50 Euro., Rummet var mycket bra, tre singelbäddar och gott om plats. Aircondition var bra då det var lite varmt. Fräscht. rent och stort badrum. Det fanns även en vattenkokare för kaffe och te. Det enda lilla negativa var väl att det var heltäckningsmatta i både rummet och korridorerna. Man kunde enkelt köpa biljetter till spårvagn, metro och bussar i en automat i receptionen. Nära hotellet i området fanns det flera restauranger och även två stora supermarkets.

2/10 Poor

Brainwashed Thai staff member.
Most of the staff were very nice and pleasant. There was one lady from the philopines who spoke a long time with me. very nice. A gentleman at night went out of hes way to get a coke for me late at night when i had work to do needed the caffine. A strange things is I flew in from Thailand , my fav country. I recognized the features, and guessed right that one lady there was Thai. I tried to speak a little Thai with her, i lived there many years. I was excited about the chance to speak with her at least a little. I did ask her to eat with me before she started work but there were to HUGE workers who threatened to Eat Her with the looks in their eyes. Must be against company policy for a worker to interact with a guest and she was esceptionally beautiful. But I was leaving soon and just wanted to talk about thailand with her. I think there is a 'thai pimp' like person controlling her or maybe they want to pay her a smaller rate and have her work the way mexicans are treated in the USA.... I don't know but she seemed worried about getting in trouble i din't Need to meet with outside her work however she seemed worried and I hope the hotel isnt treating her badly. One of the staff did try to sell her to me and I told him that was disgusting the called it a bar fine. She was very professional but I think should have some freedome, she would say she's too busy and walk away , crazy behavior I hope upper staff isnt abuising her.

6/10 Good

The good, the bad and the ugly
The Good: comfortable room, restaurant on sight, moderate rate, close to public transportation, airport shuttle access, generous buffet for breakfast at reasonable price. The Bad: The hotel is quite far from the town center. In-room coffee is two packets of instant coffee, no free coffee service in the lobby (which I would have expected at a Best Western), extra charge for breakfast if not booked the day before. Had some problems with one elevator and with the room key cards that suggest maintenance needs. The Ugly: The entrance to the hotel is a real turn off- cigarette buts all over and unclean front steps on the outside. Our room was a non-smoking room on the second floor. Its windows opened to a grassy balcony ledge which was also littered with cigarette buts and some trash. Not a good sight to see. These areas need to be cleaned up.

Nice hotel. Could use an upgrade. Flimmering lights, old interior but nice, clean and with good public transport to city center.

Good quality, comfortable
Hotel is in a residential neighborhood, a 20 or so minute tram ride to downtown Amsterdam; we liked the feeling of staying in a real neighborhood. Room was clean and comfortable, with the only caveat being that we were cold at night and hotel staff were unable to provide an extra blanket until the 3rd night out of our 4-night stay. Aside from the difficulties of getting a blanket, staff were pretty helpful. The lobby could be nicer and there is not much in the way of common areas outside of the room, and there are some signs of wear and tear on the facilities. On the plus side, there are two computers and a printer in the lobby that guests can use for free. Bikes are available for rental.

intet plus på BW plus
Alt gik galt. Forkert pris. Forkerte rum Fejl ved morgenmaden Kunne ikke oplade el-bil, selvom der blev lovet det modsatte. Dette er IKKE hvad man forventer af et BW Plus hotel.... det er ikke en gang ok til til at være BW..... Men vandet i bruseren var dejlig varmt, og det er nok det bedste der er at sige om det.

BW Blue Square
I have been staying at this hotel for over 7 years and for a period of 8 days per stay. last week was the worst of all. When I started staying at this hotel, everything was great. Now, everything is going backward. 1- The hotel is nice and located near some great Turkish and other north African restaurants. 2- The lobby and the front desk people are nice 3- the restaurant and the breakfast are good 4- rooms are nice size and well divided 5- here are the latest problems; this hotel is in a dire need of update, maintenance. the closets are old and without handles, the carpet is old. some of the lights are off base or worn out 6- Housekeeping: absolutely terrible, I checked in the room and had two small bars of soaps and that was it. never got another set even when I complained. I purposely dropped the empty shampoo bottles on the floor of the shower and never got these removed for the whole 8 days I stayed there. I left other minor stuff on the floor for testing and nothing was cleaned. do not look under the bad as it is a scary view. all the housekeeping did is change towels and fix the bed.

Hotel con muy buena relación calidad precio.
Las instalaciones están bastante bien. El hotel queda un poco retirado del centro, pero muy cerca hay varias paradas de tranvía con las cuales se llega bastante fácil. Sólo como mala experiencia nos llevamos que para el último día contratamos un taxi desde el hotel, y allí nos dijeron que nos costaba 39€ (lo ponía un cartel), y luego al llegar al aeropuerto el taxista nos cobró 49€, aunque esto creo que puede ser más por el taxista que por el hotel.

Moderna costruzione in mezzo a due canali.
Buona l'accoglienza. camera con grandi spazi, pulita ed ammobiliata in legno . Ottima vista sui canali in una zona non troppo trafficata. Vicina al bus con il quale si arriva in 45 minuti all aeroporto. Soggiorno piacevole.
