NH Schiphol Hotel

Cuando viajo por negocios a la ciudad me alojo en este hotel ya que está cerca del aeropuerto y de la oficina.
El buffet del desayuno es excelente con mucha variedad de platos y con un buen horario, de 5.30 a 10.30 de la mañana.
Están renovando las habitaciones y me ha tocado una de las «nuevas». Es amplia, espaciosa y muy limpio todo.
El servicio de habitaciones funciona muy bien, cuando vas a pedir un plato, te avisan antes del tiempo estimado que va a tardar la cocina en hacerlo y subirtelo, un muy buen detalle a tener en cuenta.
He estado dos noches seguidas, y sin solicitarlo, me han cambiado las toallas del baño.
Es un hotel idóneo para alojarte por temas de negocios en la zona o si necesitas pernoctar antes de coger otro avión.
El servicio de «sutthle» entre el aeropuerto y el hotel también funciona muy bien y cada 15 minutos hay autobus en ambas direcciones.
No sería recomendable si quieres visitar la ciudad ya que está lejos del centro

I truly enjoyed staying in this hOtel.
Most of the staff is outstanding!
I would definitely stay here again!
The hotel has newly renovated rooms!

Staff is so nice! There’s no one who’s really interested in helping, we are so glad to be attended buy everyone here! The wifi is awful, is not working continuously and with no signal in some rooms

Nice hotel, staff was friendly and rooms were in excellent condition. I would definitely stay here again if needed.

Das wohl schlechteste Hotel was ich seit Jahren besucht habe. Das Zimmer dreckig, eine Renovierung seit vielen Jahren überfällig. Dreck überall im Bad, Wasserhahn defekt, Schimmel am Duschvorhang, Deckenverkleidung lose, Boden abgenutzt. Einfach nur ekelig. Im Zimmer Löcher im Vorhang und die Wände mehr dreckig als farbig. Dazu ein lauter Kühlschrank der einen nicht wirklich schlafen lässt. Das ganze noch für einen unverschämt hohen Preis.
Das einzig brauchbare war das Frühstück.
Nie wieder NH.

Terrible hotel. I booked this through an unpublished rates agency. So I booked a 4* hotel near schipohl airport expecting to get a 4* hotel… Boy I was wrong…
I’ve stayed at Days Inns with nicer hotel rooms. I first arrived to my room and quickly realized that the air conditioning wasn’t working. I called the front desk and 10 minutes late, no one showed up. I went downstairs to ask for a new room which they couldn’t give me until they verified that the air conditioning was indeed broken. It was and about 20 minutes after that I was given a new hotel room. This new room was just as old and just as disgusting, but the air conditioning worked.
This is probably atypical of the hotel but there was a party in the courtyard until 10pm playing loud music disrupting myself and I’m sure others. If I wanted to be by a party, I would have chosen a hotel in downtown Amsterdam. I chose an airport hotel because I wanted to go to sleep early and get enough rest before my flight.
Lastly, the hotel receptionist staff were not very friendly and seemed annoyed that I dare to ask about the hotel shuttle. Which you need to a ticket for, so you have to talk to them. It’s a free shuttle which is nice.

Ein typisches Airport-​Hotel: überteuert für die gebotene Leistung. Das Zimmer an sich war geräumig und sauber, allerdings kann man das Fenster nicht öffnen und die Klimaanlage rattert ununterbrochen 24 Stunden. Zudem ist es viel zu dunkel, selbst wenn man alle vorhandenen Lampen anschaltet, erhält man nur ein gedämpftes Zwielicht. WLAN, Haartrockner und Safe sind inklusive, die Mini-​Bar war nicht gefüllt.
Das Frühstücks-​Buffet ist OK, kann man nicht meckern. Überraschend gut ist der Spa-​Bereich, sogar Squash-​Plätze gibt es (Schläger kann man an der Rezeption ausleihen). Positiv fande ich auch, dass man Artikel wie z.B. eine Zahnbürste kostenfrei an der Rezeption bekommt, falls man Derartiges vergessen hat dazu gab es gar eine Hinweiskarte im Bad. Alles in allem ein Hotel für Geschäftsreisende (heißt max. 1 – 2 Nächte), das m.M. besser als sein Ruf ist.
PS: Von außern sieht der Bunker wirklich GANZ furchtbar aus, Knast lässt grüßen

After another stay I must say, I was not as impressed. Sure the rooms look nice, but they have no good broadband. The give you super slow 8k, that’s right, one third of the speed of a 28.8 dial up modem connection speed which means you cannot even check Facebook. You can upgrade to business class for 17.99 a day, but even that has a 25 meg upload limit cap so if you post a couple photos online that’s it, that’s your 17.99 wasted. if you stay here you will find yourself not being able to do anything in regards to remotely working from your room and having to go find local cafes and restaurants that have free, proper wifi. I view not having access to proper internet connections like having a shared toilet in the hotel for everyone or having one pay phone in the lobby for everyone to use — it makes it a two star hotel at best. If I cannot check my company email or log in via VPN and do a bit of work in a hotel in today’s day and age, the place in my opinion is a kip and I would rather stay at a hostel that offered me a proper broadband service so at least I wouldn’t have to go searching all over town just to be able to get my basic business needs met.

This hotel was a major disappointment for me. This is sad since until now I had good experiences with the NH hoteles chain. I got that hotel through what I call the «Priceline lottery» (Name your own price) so I didn’t know really what I was booking until I had it and it was presented as a four star option.
Generally, higher end hotel means that less is included. In cheaper hotel, typically parking is free and sometimes breakfast.
Here, the only thing is that they were giving you wifi voucher. The problem was that the Internet was excessively slow, almost unusable. On the second day, I had an important Skype meeting and I attempted to upgrade to the paid Internet. They a few level one was called «business» and did advertised more bandwidth and higher priority. I paid 17.85 euro for a 24 hour period… and it was not better than the free voucher (which was almost unusable). At check-​out when I mentioned that, they did want to give me any credit and left me the burden to try to communicate with Swisscom to file a complain… no help from the hotel at all (I don’t know if you ever tried to communicate with European company, but they use chargeable phone number and let you wait for ever… this will end up generally costing you more than what you are trying to get as a refund).
Then there is the parking… this hotel is in the middle of nowhere and there is no reason for paid parking except to rip-​off the guest. They charge and outrageous 17.50 euro per day for that privilege… not only that but if you want to charge it to your room, you will have to wait every morning for an hotel front desk employee to validate it. I lost about 10 minutes every morning for this simple operation.
The restaurant are also quite expensive and the only really above average item is the bread (very good bread!).
The rooms are dated with tube television that don’t work quite well and an antiquated analog cable system. The personnel is not helpful and have generally an unfriendly attitude.
Basically, It’s a room that you would expect in a lower grade «2 star» hotel at the price of a «4 star». Avoid.

Das Hotel hat auch schon bessere Tage gesehen. Rostige Badewanne, das halb leere, geoeffnete Shampoo des Vorgaengers in der Ablage und echte Retro Tapeten — vermutlich schon ueber 10 Jahre an der Wand…
