Arriving late in AMS or wanting to leave early from there, who wouldn't want to stay directly at the airport. Two choices you have, approximately 500m from the main airport lobby you have the Sheraton - no need go leave the terminal - and one and on half km away from the main lobby there is the Hilton. Not only farther away but also down a steel stair and across a dimly lit parking lot exposed to the elements. Earlier this week that ment well below freezing point...
The bigger problem: I didn't see that anything was done to this place in terms of upgrade or basic upkeep since I stayed here 10 years ago. Boy had I forgotten how bad it was! Small rooms, badly noise insulating connecting rooms to the adjacent room, no windows to open, no AC but just heat on or off - thus, sleeping in a hot house with stale air...
The carpets were old 10 years ago, now they are "rotten" - the room smells like Museum or historic European palace.
Unless you have any sort of package, breakfast and internet will make you pay through the nose, one gadget at the time. I just have to imaging going here as a family, 5 i-gadgets plus business computer gets you to pay for basic contemporary connectivity and breakfast at the same amount that the rate of the room is. In my mind that is train robbery and should be punished by law.
Bed and bathroom seem to be same generation as the carpets.
There is nothing that justifies the room rate nor the negligent upkeep othe than being in walking distance from the terminal...
Room Tip: If you find a good room, please tell me!
