"A really unique place to stay. The staff were lovely and the breakfast was excellent. The rooms were really interesting. The weather was boiling hot and the room was cool enough but I think it might have been different if we'd been in a room that had the sun in the afternoon. The lockers were very useful to leave our things as we adventured for the day."

Sheraton Amsterdam Airport Hotel and Conference Center

Sheraton Amsterdam Airport Hotel and Conference Center

8/10 Good
"Longest check-in ever, very old towels (hard not white, thin), the room was quite expensive. Fantastic location, beautiful views from the room, nice room, great coffee. Attached to the airport, no need for a shuttle, carts to carry all of our luggage right there. Took a cart right up to our room and kept it for the next day. So handy."
