Mercure Hotel Amsterdam West

Easy bus journey into the city, once you found the bus stop! The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. Very comfortable beds.

Car parking at €17.50 per night seems a little steep, but driving into the city is really not a good idea! However these charges were waived when we complained about the following issues: The safe in our room was broken and did not get fixed, even though we reported this immediately. (3 night stay). On the last morning, the shower failed to drain and almost flooded the bathroom.

Both close to the airport & to town. Right next to the gas station (if you are not wanting "hotel food" and prices) and are willing to have both sandwiches, rather than "meals". Be warned- the warm sandwiches stop in the early afternoon (around 1400).

Please have trained staff inspect bicycles before renting them. Had a bike with several seat issues that almost caused several major accidents on the way to town- before a stranger offered to fix.

The rooms were very clean and quiet and spacious and the beds were large and comfy. Very good shower too. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Amazing park opposite the hotel with a wonderful lake.

Hard to walk to the bus stop as no real path to follow. The breakfast was only average as scrambled eggs were cold, the floor was a bit sticky and they ran out of yogurt early on.
