Artemis Amsterdam

Schönes Hotel etwas abgelegen. Sehr leckeres Frühstück. Schöné angenehme Doppelzimmer. Nur die nicht abschließbare Milchglasbadtür fand ich etwas befremdlich.

Typisches Hotel für Geschäftsreisende. Moderne, sehr schöné Einrichtung. Sehr netter Service und Personal.
Leider lässt die Sauberkeit in den Zimmern etwas zu wünschen übrig. (Staub auf dem Regal und auf Ablagen, kleiner Fleck am Bett)
Die Bar sehr stylisch und gut bestückt. Die Barkeeper/​innen sehr gesprächig und immer für einen guten Insider-​Tipp zu haben. Leider war die Bar bei meinem Aufenthalt sehr schlecht frequentiert.
Hotel ist in einem, ich denke, Industriegebiet. Taxi ins Zentrum kostet zwischen 25 – 35 €. Zum Flughafen 15 – 20 €.
Nimmt man Preis/​Leistung ist dieses Hotel allerdings zu empfehlen.

Really average experience at best.
The included breakfast has a lot of options, some options better than others.
Doors are extremely loud when closed, so if you have the misfortune to have a room on a floor with a lot of guests, you will have a bad time.
I found the service actually pretty bad, in the sense that the staff seemed kind of clueless and the cleaners barely spoke any english.
It is however close to the airport which could be both good and bad, depending on your preferences.
It is close to tramline 2 and some buses, which makes it easy to get to Amsterdam centrum (about 30 – 40 min)

This was simply an A-​OK hotel (3.5 stars)…kind of a last minute choice. We were in Amsterdam for 3 days and decided we wanted to stay longer. The current hotel we were in (Movenpick) was fully booked for the additional nights that we wanted. Last-​minute reservations for other hotels were ridiculously expensive, so we took to Priceline «blind bidding» and got this hotel.
I won’t complain too much, as it served our purposes. It’s in a business park, but a close enough walk to the tram station for access to city center (about a 30+ minute journey). We had a rental car and left it parked the whole time we were here.
The room was clean and comfy enough, modern design with cute artsy touches (cow art in the bathroom).

Stylisches Hotel in abgelegener Lage, vermutlich für Geschäftsreisende. Flughafen ist in der Nähe, Taxi kostete ungefähr 33 € eine Richtung. Das Zimmer muffelte etwas, vom Vorgänger war noch ein Papier-​Relikt im Zimnmer, das die Putzkolonne vergessen hat, die Lüftung konnte man ständig leise hören. Im Zimmer einer Kollegin gab es beim kurzen Hineinschauen diese Probleme nicht. Personal sehr freundlich, das Frühstück war ausreichend und vielseitig.

Thes service in the restaurant was so bad I cancelled my reservation for three nights and booked another hotel. TWO HOURS to deliver a lousy ceasar salad. Seriosly this place is a joke. Come stay here if you seek tone deaf service and starvation.

Hold on to your GPS because you’re going to need it. If coming by tram or bus, it is very difficult to find Dutch Design Hotel Artemis. Google maps does not tell you to walk through an apartment complex. So if you get off the Louwesweg stop on the tram, go across the street to the apartments and walk on the side path all the way down for about 10 minutes until you find the hotel. The path leads straight to it.
Street names were not clearly visible. We walked all around the neighborhood until we made our way to the business park. The hotel is next to IBM and all the other corporate offices. I was ready to jump into a taxi at the bus depot out of frustration.
But once you find the hotel, you will be quite pleased. It’s actually very convenient and as long as you are not in a rush you’d be fine. This is a great commuter hotel and it is nice to be away from all the city activity. Plus you get an ungodly amount of space, something that is rare in a European hotel unless you are living large. The room provides all the modern amenities complete with an empty mini fridge, iron, and hair dryer. Watch out for the sink. They like to close it shut for aesthetics. It was painfully annoying to unplug the drain.
The design is modern and minimal. I loved everything about it and felt pampered for once. Front desk is friendly and helpful.

Great value but only if you stay 4 nights or more. Unless it’s close to where you want to be, it is very poorly connected to town. otherwise, very comfy beds, fab shower facilities. If only the temperature of room could be a tad higher. Also, late check out on a day I know they’re empty is a miserly 1pm.

man… it took us forever to find it! People in the neighborhood had no idea that there was a hotel nearby. But we finally made it there… tired and angry.
It’s too modern to my taste, the artsy details looked out of place and even messy. The hotel is relatively new, so everything there is brand new and clean.
The hotels’ amenities, décor, size, and practically everything makes you think that you are in the states.
I was surprised by the size of rooms, US power outlets and other things that were particularly designed for Americans. They have free Wi-​Fi and a business center downstairs.
It is located relatively near the train and bus stops. So, it only takes about 30 minutes to get to the Red Light District.
Mini bar is pretty pricey. A can of beer was 6 Euros (at the time we stayed it was equivalent to $ 8).
If I am in Amsterdam, I won’t stay there again!

I’d say 3.5 but Unilocal doesn’t have half stars (bew). So anyway, we have stayed here for about a week or so and I would have the following feedback…
1) look and feel of the Dutch Design Artemis: very clean and modern, inviting, the rooms are nice and not cramped at all.
2) amenities: free wifi (but quite slow), good service, limited food choices (spaghetti Bolognese and Bitter Ballen were two winners, rest not so much).
3) location: it’s very convenient IF you are working in one of the office buildings right nearby. It’s also fine if you are going to the center AND you don’t mind either a 35 – 45 min bus ride OR you have a scooter and want a nice pleasant ride.
We rented a scooter (one of the ones that only goes 15mph!) and it was slow, but fun still to get back/​forth each day. Bit far out if your goal is to visit the center every day, but by riding out here you are «forced» to check out also the outskirts, pick up some Turkish food, etc.
Also, there are some good park areas nearby that are just about empty of people, nice to chill out in.

A very arty hotel located quite close to Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport. The layout of my room was rather strange, with a door from the hallway leading into a small vestibule with another door into the rest of the room. Sort of a racetrack with entry to the bathroom on two sides, it took me a little while to also find the closet and the various (European-​style) power outlets. Bed was comfortable, the room was quiet, the temperature was acceptable.
One strange thing — I never could figure out how to turn off the lights properly. The only way I figured was to pull my card from the switch at the entry, but this also turned off all of the electrical outlets.
Full dining room on the ground floor, the breakfast layout was excellent. The dinner service was also very good.
I don’t know if I would stay here again, but it certainly was convenient.
