B&B HOTEL Amsterdam Zaandam

"Basic room but adequate. The location is far from central Amsterdam however easily reachable by bus. The bus stop is 15mins away. Bus number 391 will take you into central Amsterdam and zaanse schan. Bus 111 and 391 will take you into zandaam. It take round about 15-30 mins for each destination. The breakfast is payable to the hotel. The choices are good. Good clean restaurant and items are replenished in a timely manner. Room is small so dont expect alot of walking space in the room. Bathroom is small too, however adequate. Housekeeping is not done daily and only every third day, however you can request for it to be done daily. Drinks and snack available to buy at reception. Also hot water available in reception. No kettle or safe in room. No wardrobes only hanging space and shelves in room. No shops nearby on an inductial estate. Overall a good stay for price. Only book if you are prepared to travel into Central.amsterdam."

"Pros: 1) The place was actually affordable. Anything closer to Amsterdam was astronomically pricey. 2) The font desk staff was helpful and courteous and spoke excellent English. 3) The rooms and bathrooms were on adequate size and were very clean. 4) The WIFI was free with good speed and connectivity. 5) The place is quiet at night and the sleep quality is good. 6) There is ample parking in front of the hotel. Cons: 1) The place in the middle of nowhere. It is difficult to get to without a car. There is sporadic bus connection to the Zaandam station. There are no places to eat/shop nearby. 2) The hotel does not have a laundry machine."

"**Turkish Commentary:** Overall, we had a very pleasant stay at B&B Hotel Amsterdam-Zaandam. We knew the hotel had previously operated as an ibis, and despite its transformation into a B&B Hotel, a certain standard has been maintained. Although the rooms are a bit small, they are not uninhabitable; they are clean and functional. The fact that free hot water was available at the hotel was a nice touch. We had breakfast for an extra charge, and by Amsterdam standards it was both affordable and adequate. The hotel's car park is收费 (paid), but the fact that parking is usually free on the street was a big advantage. Our only negative experience was related to the city tax. Although we paid this fee when booking through Agoda, the hotel charged it again. Unfortunately, we have not received any results from the applications we have made regarding this matter. Apart from that, we generally think it's a hotel that can be preferred in terms of price-performance ratio. --- **English Review:** We had an overall pleasant stay at B&B Hotel Amsterdam-Zaandam. We knew the hotel used to operate as an ibis, and despite the transition to B&B Hotels, it still maintains a certain standard. The rooms are a bit small, but still comfortable and functional. One nice touch was the constant availability of free hot water. We also opted for breakfast at an extra cost, and compared to Amsterdam standards, it was both affordable and satisfying. The hotel parking is paid, but there is free street parking available nearby, and we were able to find spots easily, which was very convenient. Our only negative experience was regarding the city tax. Even though we had already paid it أثناء booking via Agoda, the hotel insisted on charging it again. Unfortunately, we couldn't get a resolution despite reaching out. Aside from this issue, we believe the hotel offers good value for money and can be a solid choice for visitors."
