Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam - North Riverside, an IHG Hotel

Good walking 15 mins. distance to free ferry across to central station. Convenient food market very close by where hot food can be purchased ie pizza, hamburger, street food We had a room with a view which was spectacular. Watching the ships and boats on the harbour.

Location is easy and lovely, there are 2 ways of going to city centre and ferry option is free and nicer. There is a supermarket near hotel and it is quite cheap and good quality. Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Hotel and room is very clean and beds are very comfortable. Bathroom design is easy to use. Breakfast is excellent, very satisfied and delicious. In conclusion it is a perfect choice, I would love to stay again in this hotel.

The room was decent sized and the bed was great. Best hotel of the 3 we stayed at between UK & ND. The breakfast was good. The location was also good. A short 8-10min walk from the Metro line, from there you could be in the city center in minutes. On foot from hotel to city center was 20 min all things included. The view was very cool - you are on the other side of the water from the main city center but one of the few "sky scrapers" as it was across the water on solid ground. Price was good. Hotel staff was very helpful. Grocery store across the street with great food options. Several laundromats within walking distance. I liked how you had to walk through a local village to get from the train station to the hotel - you get to see the "regular" Dutch people and their neighborhood. Everyone spoke English. We will without a doubt be staying here again when we return.

I was looking for a hotel in Amsterdam that would be relatively close to the center, with a comfortable, clean room, and at the same time relatively affordable. I chose Holiday Inn Express and I am satisfied. The hotel is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood. To be in the very center you need just a short walk or a minute's bike ride, and then a free ferry runs every few minutes in both directions ( 3 minutes to cross the water) This ferry transport has its own atmosphere. It is also close to the metro, about 700m, although we only used it when returning to the airport. Great location. The rooms are modern and clean. Comfortable bed. Breakfast is monotonous (basic - the same thing every day but plenty of it), you can generally eat enough. There are two nice markets right next to the hotel. Staff helpful. Wi-fi worked flawlessly. To sum up, it's a nice place to stay in the city, a real 3*. Nothing to complain about, but also nothing to really admire.

Incredible location, easy to get into the city and the train station is minutes away. There are 2 supermarkets opposite the hotel, highly recommend the market as you can get something from the supermarket (everything is incredibly fresh, sushi, sandwiches, salads etc) then take it into the cafe to enjoy with a coffee and incredibly reasonable prices. Hotel is modern, beds are super comfy and staff are very helpful.
