Joy Hotel

The hotel was about 20 mins by Metro from the city centre and just one block from the Metro - very easy to get to from Schiphol using public transport and very easy to get into central Amsterdam. The hotel was clean, well maintained and had a bar fridge, access to ironing facilities, aircon, wifi and parking. You can also hire bicycles from the hotel. Staff were friendly. Nice little outdoor restaurant just around the corner. You can walk to a shopping area to purchase food stuff to to make your own breakfast and buy snacks and water. Will definitely stay here again.

No explicit directions for how to get to the hotel from the Metro - I ended up walking around with my luggage which was unnecessary if precise directions had been provided - get off the metro walk to your right ( in the direction the metro is going) to exit the station. Once out of the station turn right and walk one block - viola, you have arrived!

4-5 minutes walking distance to the metro station. You can reach Amsterdam Arena ( very close to süpermarkets and bus stops) by walking 15 minutes or taking the metro for 1 station. The metro takes about 20 minutes to the hearth of Amsterdam. There was a microwave, a coin paid coffee machine and a vending machine for use of the guests at the lobby and irons at each floor. The staff was more than helpful, they solved all of our problems immediately. We didn’t use the car park but we usually saw empty spots, this means the parking is enough. Wifi worked without any problems. There were electrical plugs in the room more than enough.

We didn’t get any breakfast but we checked what it contains. It was weak for 15€ per person. The area was silent except the construction nearby. The cleaning can be better if they hire more staff.

Hotel was very close to train station. Very clean, Staff was friendly and were open to our suggestions. We rented a car for one day only and had no problem parking in front of the hotel.

The hotel is a bit away from the city centre, but for the affordable price that is not an inconvenience as trains were quite regular and very accessible. Not a lot of options for breakfast, though.

Warm welcomed at reception Very near station line 54 direct to city center of Amsterdam Clean Enough large room for us thee

Pay for parkplace, 15€/day, seems not too much places to park around hotel Would be better if uncluded in price.

Room was clean and comfortable, with enough space for two people. Everything we needed was provided. The location is very good. We were attending an event at the Johan Cruijff Arena and the hotel is a 5-7-minute walk away. There is a direct metro connection from the Amsterdam Centraal train station (approx. 30 mins to reach the hotel), so it is also easy to go for sightseeing if you stay at this hotel.

The ventilation system in the bathroom and the room could be better. The room was a bit stuffy and after we showered, there was a bit of a sewage smell that lingered. We aired the room and it cleared, but when keeping the windows closed, the air was not refreshing very well.

There was a room with a balcony on the top floor. The view is great, something interesting is being built under the window (no inconvenience). There was a kettle in the room (respect for that). Friendly staff, especially the man at reception. Ikea was good for a reasonably priced meal. A metro station right in front of the hotel. It is very comfortable.

The hotel require a deposit. The floors in the room were roughly scratched in places and had to be fixed so there would be no problems with the refund of the deposit. There were no problems in general.

Hotel is near the metro station Friendly staff With free room service Continental breakfast is good(separate payment €15) Bed is comfy Bathroom is ok

Nothing

* They do not accept payment in cash. Credit card only.

The hotel has an easy access from the highway and is close to metro station with convenient connection to the city center and practical walking distance to Arena. We stayed in triple room with a teenager and felt confortable. Everything about the hotel is clearly and honestly listed in the hotel description, and Google maps offer street view of the area, so if you check those out, you should be able to have the right expectations. For us, anytime again :)

The room I booked was a large twin room and was quite spacious. And it was very convenient to have a mini-refridgerator in the room. The desk was sufficient to work and also dinning. Room was very clean and everything was new. There were power outlets near the bed as well as by the desk, which was very convenient. There were vending machine by the front so I can buy a cold drink or a snack quickly. Very near the metro station as well.

There were no restaurants or shops near by. The nearest food I can find was a McDonalds about 1km away, a bit of a walk if you are hungry and tired. I missed a microwave oven ... would have loved it if one was there. BTW, I wanted to extend my stay and the price they offered was quite expensive than booking.com so I booked on booking.com and it was fine.
