Crowne Plaza Amsterdam - South

The Hotel is close to the South Station which is both a Tram and a Train Station. Schiphol is 7 minutes by train and 3 euros per person. A day pass for the tram is 7 dollars per person and you can hop on and off as many times as you wish. To get to Dam Square it is about 20 minutes on Tram 5. Food is expensive at the hotel with no other neighborhood options, but you will find Amsterdam is expensive as a whole. My stay was difficult for me only because I was travelling with my elderly father, therefore walking was an issue, but otherwise, for any healthy person, the distances for walking are reasonable. There was free parking when I arrived also, but I do not know how long that will last as it was in an empty lot next door which is a construction project presently. I would recommend this hotel and would stay here again, the price was excellent value, we got our room for 110 a night by bidding.

Plussat: The hotel is new and the room was very nice, clean, and more than adequate. The staff were very well trained and acknowledged me every time with a ready smile and were anxious to please.

Miinukset: The hotel is located in the Business district in Amsterdam, therefore you must travel to any point of interest. Thankfully, it is a short walk to the South Station, which is both a Tram and Train station.

A great hotel. Without exception, delightful staff. Easy access to downtown and the museum quarter via public transport. If you're happy with public transport or taking 15 minute cab rides it's a first-class option. Overall, very happy.

Plussat: When bidding on Priceline the map is entitled 'Musuem Quarter-Rai Center' Be aware that this decription covers a lot of ground. The hotel I bought was EXCELLENT but a long way away from the Museums

Miinukset: Not happy that the map covers more area than one can easily walk in what is mostly a walking city.
