Golden Tulip Amsterdam West

The hotel is about 20 mins drive from the airport, if you are taking taxi, it’s about 40 euro. The check-​in was a bit long. The staffs are fairly friendly. The hotel is very clean. The room is spacious and the bathroom is nice too. I like their shower area. The coffee machine is easy to use for boiling water or brewing coffee. The hotel doesn’t offer free breakfast. Their breakfast and dinner are all buffet style. The tram stop is about 3 mins walk across from the hotel. You can buy the tram pass on the tram but you need to prepare some cash since they dont accept credit card. Overall, it’s a great stay. P. S. there are not many restaurants around the hotel. You may need to take the tram to other places for food.

Every time we visit Amsterdam we stay at the Golden Tulip. It is about ten minutes by train to the city center but for the cheap price it is definitely worth it. The rooms are clean, modern, and the décor is luxurious looking. The staff is very friendly and efficient. There is free coffee in the rooms as well as a minibar. Will definitely stay here every time I visit Amsterdam.

Zimmer ok — Frühstück mittelmässig (im Verhältnis Preis)
Wlan unzuverlässig
Musste morgens Frühstück bezahlen direkt — sonst beim checkout …

If you ever travel to Amsterdam I highly recommend this hotel. Not in the center but only minutes away. First class accommodations. They even have Chocolate milk for breakfast. I promise it is money well spent.

There were some highlights to staying here.
A few lowlights.
Room service staff = five stars
Armand at front desk = five stars
The vending machine in my room was broken and not fixed for my 11 night stay.
I’d stay here again for work. It’s too far from city center.

Outstanding! I was pleasantly surprised by this gem of a hotel. Rooms were immaculate and the rates were unbelievable. This is my favorite hotel in europe.

Sehr schönes Hotel, sehr sauber. Etwas ausserhalb aber mit guter Anbindung. Frühstück reichhaltig und lecker allerdings auch relativ teuer. Die Zimmer sind nett und modern ausgestattet. Im Zimmer gibt es sogar eine Kaffeemaschine. Die Kellner beim Frühstück könnten noch ein ticken freundlicher sein und schauen. Alles in allem… Ich würde wieder kommen.

Location-​wise, Golden Tulip might not offer the kind of ready access to Amsterdam Central that a tourist might want. Quality-​wise, I would stack up Golden Tulip against any of the hotels in, or immediately around, Amsterdam Central. Well maintained and great quality, for a very reasonable price.
In a city like Amsterdam, having a hotel off the beaten path can hardly be considered a negative factor, given the maturity of the public transportation system. Golden Tulip is located near the Sloterdijk Train Station, which is simply one stop away from the Amsterdam Centraal Train station. Total ride time: 5 minutes.
Subtracting the negligible distance factor, Golden Tulip offers a range of amenities for the weary traveler… a spacious and modern room (at least by European standards), a restaurant with breakfast, a bar that is open late, and a large lobby with big screen TVs and computers.
Here are some of the highlights of the room itself:
— Up to date, large bathroom with a waterfall shower (shower head located directly above you, with a powerful flow)
— Cool N’Espresso coffee maker that actually outputs strong, decent coffee. Included are coffee discs of espresso and light coffee selections
— Automated touch screen system to indicate «Do Not Disturb» or «Ready to Clean»
Looking at the alternative, I could have gotten a hotel closer to the city. But, why? If it means paying more, having a hotel that is older and more worn, and not enjoying the same perks that Golden Tulip in Amsterdam West offered… I will surely «endure» the 5 minute train ride.
Thank you, Golden Tulip, for a very pleasurable stay.

Chambre très design et moderne, avec une literie confortable et une machine Nespresso et quelques provisions comprises dans le prix (il y a aussi un minibar, mais qui n’est pas gratuit, lui). Bravo pour les deux ports USB dans le mur, qui tombent à point pour tous ces appareils électroniques à l’autonomie limitée! En revanche, on aurait aimé une fenêtre un peu mieux placée par rapport au reste de la chambre, car ouvrir les rideaux né nous permettait que d’éclairer la porte d’entrée.
Le petit-​déjeuner avec son buffet aussi gigantesque que varié n’a pas manqué de nous satisfaire, ainsi que le jus d’orange frais dont nous avons bien abusé. L’hôtel est excentré, mais le tram 12 dont l’arrêt est situé à quelques dizaines de mètres de là vous emmèné rapidement où vous voulez dans la ville, et la réception vend des cartes de 24h, 48h (12 €) et 72h. Si vous avez la flemme, il y a également un bar au rez-​de-​chaussée et un restaurant dont les prix semblaient globalement corrects.
Enfin, l’ĥôtel dispose aussi d’un parking, mais il vous sera facturé 15 € les 24h …

We were pleasantly surprised and satisfied with our one night stay here. After 10 days of great B&Bs in Italy, we had a one-​night layover in A-​dam and we weren’t familiar with this hotel brand. What a find and I still can’t believe I got it at the price I did. It pays to check and book early.
This was a very modernized, stylized hotel. The room was beautifully appointed with upscale features — we felt like we were in a mini spa for the night. The coolest feature that I have not seen in any American hotel as of yet is that the keycard was used to power the lights in the rooms. You inserted it in a space on the wall and the lights came on. (You can still turn the lights off manually.) There was also a panel in the room with buttons for either «maid service» or «do not disturb». Pressing one will light up the corresponding message on the outside of your door — no need for door signs! New to me and neat.
The staff was so friendly, helpful and accommodating. I only wish we had time to try out their food.
Free espresso in the rooms, 90s techno on the TV, thick, pillowy comforters… plus Amsterdam. Fun, memorable 22 hr layover.
