4 day conference requiring a fairly central not overly expensive hotel. For its purpose, the Atlas Hotel was fine.
Positives: Very easy to find and right next to the excellent Vondelpark with some useful cafes and restaurants nearby. The front desk staff are friendly and helpful. Everything in good working order. Generally very clean.
Negatives: Some profiteering here - 3 Euros to leave your bag after you checkout: a first for me. It doesn't even go into a locked room, it just gets bunged under the breakfast counter. Also 1 Euro for a city map - other hotels offer a free sponsored version. Breakfast is adequate but the breakfasting room is minute and the breakfasting hours minuscule (8-9.30). Essentially you'll be bumping elbows and dancing around other guests. The spread is no more than adequate Continental buffet. The decor is worn: shower curtain needs changing and the shower head descaling.
