Zwaanshoek Vacation Rentals

"The primary plus of this hotel is its location, about 70 meters from the entrance to the Amsterdam Centraal train station. This was important to us, because our days were spent on day trips to Haarlem and The Hague via train. So it was a REALLY convenient location! And despite that central location, including proximity to stations for many of the (quite noisy!) trolleys and the "Lovers" canal tours, the rooms are incredibly well insulated from external noise! However, the INTERNAL walls are paper-thin: we could easily hear discussions and coughing in the room adjacent to ours. The bed was very comfortable, but the room around that bed was severely limited. The staff members were wonderful about facilitating check-in and helping us store our luggage before check-in time and after check-out. They spoke flawless English. We didn't avail ourselves of the restaurant or the breakfast, instead walking across the bridge to have breakfast at one of the many restaurants a short walk away, and there are more in the (quite large) train station, another benefit of the central location."

"The hotel is located in a perfectly location, easily walk to major city attraction of Amsterdam. The inside room is relatively small and old. The bathroom is small with a very small sink, the shower room is also very small. Otherwise, still good for the price. If you just want to walk around the Amsterdam city centre, and maybe need to go back to the hotel anytime during your travel. It's a good choice. Not good for the people need luxurious. Not good for the family with small kids."

"Location, location, location! Hotel is a 5 minute covered walk from the terminals, and there was only negligible in-room noise from the airplanes. However, I can’t otherwise recommend this hotel (or at least the room we had), unless you’re a single traveler looking for an efficiency type hotel room. The biggest issue was the bed - while equipped with nice sheets and a comfy mattress, the orientation was such that one side abutted the exterior window, while the head/foot sides abutted the walls. As such, it requires one person to crawl across the bed to the window side to access their spot. God forbid you need to get up in the middle of the night, as you would need to have ninja skills not to wake your partner as you crawl over them. Making matters worse, the individual on the window side of the bed had no power outlets, shelf, or end table, light controls, reading, light, or similar amenities. The room was equipped with an iPad that appeared to be a strange use of excessive technology… For some, using iPad to manage everything in the room is a feature, but I much prefer physical switches, remotes, and the like. Other strange “features” included the ability to change the color of the lighting in the shower to any color of the rainbow – but God forbid you’d want white light. The hallways felt more like I was living in a Kubrick film, then a Marriott-family property. Lastly, check-in is a strange self-serve experience on clunky touchscreen computers. Property is not for me."
