De Overlanden

Parking is absolutely horrendous in Amsterdam. As a first time visitor - this cannot be expressed highly enough. Do not rent a car unless absolutely necessary. If you must rent a car - have a parking plan in place before you arrive.

Great experience from the moment I walked through the door. If you're looking for a vibrant hotel this is it. The canal view was amazing and the staff very friendly.

Great location and kind staff. Room of the canal was lovely. I would recommend skipping the breakfast they offer if you have the time and walk nearby to a bakery or restaurant as the pricing is relatively similar and the food will be better. Great for a quick grab and go though if you’re strapped on time. Do not take the taxi from the hotel to the airport. It felt like a robbery at 50 euros plus an additional fee because we didn’t have cash nor was there a visible meter to confirm it was honest and fair. In the book provided by the hotel in each room, they recommend you to request a ride through the front desk and I urge you not to because it’s nearly half to uber. I checked after the fact and it was half to Uber from the airport to hotel. Don’t take the taxi. The uber rides we took were very nice and comfortable. Aside from the mediocre breakfast and taxi issue, very great hotel and would recommend to others. Would love to go back.
