Although there is a table and stool in the room, this isn’t great for working at, but was fine for short meetings. The drains in the bathroom didn’t smell great, but closing the bathroom door made that ok.

Stayed here for the Amsterdam Marathon. Was a great location to get into town easily with the tram station just a minutes walk away.

Place was clean and the reception staff were welcoming.

Breakfast was continental only, which again was good for what we wanted. Only thing is the layout of the trays/food/coffee meant for a lot of congestion in the morning.

Only main issue was the air conditioning unit in our room was noisey (even when it was turned off) which for light sleepers like us was a bit annoying.

You get what you pay for in regards to the room. We had a very basic 3 bed room which was very clean and did the job. As we were only in Amsterdam for 2 days we only needed something very basic. The thing I liked the most was the self service kiosk in the foyer area meaning you could grab snacks or drinks at any time of night.
The staff were very helpful especially explaining how to get into central late at night.
The surrounding area is nice and the hotel is very close to transport links such us buses and trams. From the hotel you can walk to Amsterdam Bos in about 20 mins

We recently stayed at Ibis Budget Amsterdam. As expected, the hotel offers a very basic experience, but there were a few drawbacks. The room was quite small and had a noticeable odor. It also didn’t seem freshly cleaned, and we had to request clean towels and rent a blow dryer. Noise from the hallway was also an issue during our stay.

While the hotel is affordable, being outside the city center meant spending extra on transportation. In the future, we’ll consider staying closer to the center for more convenience and comfort, even if it means paying a bit more.

Staff were nice on the first day and then became progressively rude after you checked in, the room was dirty with plumping pipes visible, and room maintenance was basically non existent (they didn't empty our bins, or make the bed, so what exactly were they cleaning?). The parking was absolutely terrible! The ticket machine was broken, and we prepaid for the parking, but kept having issues getting into the car park because it was allegedly 'full' when there were clearly spaces available. Seems like this hotel will just make people prepay for parking without actually reserving a space for them. Also, the hotel felt extremely unsafe. Reception was always unoccupied or the receptionists were chatting among themselves, basically anyone could just walk in and take the lift to the rooms with no issue. The back door also was never locked and you could just walk in whenever. The lockers to keep your belongings safe were also broken. Also, you have to pay a deposit to borrow a hairdryer, and if there are none available, tough luck apparently. Lastly, the receptionists straight up lie. We were told there was free hot water (it wasn't, you have to pay for it). Just ridiculous experience overall.

Basic hotel with easy access by nearby tram

I had previously stayed in Amsterdam South as the price of hotels is more acceptable with this being the reason we chose this one.

The hotel initially felt a little far out but actually the tram made it really accessible to get into central Amsterdam but note the trams finish around midnight.

I had stayed in an Ibis Budget before so I knew the rooms are basic but acceptable. My room lacked a table and seats, the second room I booked had them, so I am assuming it was damaged and never replaced.

There was a self service shop downstairs but while convenient was a little pricey. We tried to buy hot drinks a couple of times but the English breakfast tea was never available after our initial cup. Also the cups supplied varied from size each and every time we asked for one, so some drinks felt better value for money than others.

There is an automated pizza oven in reception which is a great idea, just a shame they were not stocked at all times as there were never any pizzas available when we got in late at night.

Reception staff were ok, semi efficient but can’t say they were overly personable. They were all very young so maybe lacked the interpersonal skills a little

Noisy Air con. Can't switch off/reduce fan speed

Had stayed at the hotel previously, so chose again. The only significant problem is that the air conditioning in the room cannot be switched off or altered. This meant that the fan was on a noisy setting all night. Luckily I had ear plugs which I had to push well in to eliminate the noise. if it weren't for this, I would have given it a 4-5* rating. If I hadn't had ear plugs, then I would have given 1* due to the difficulty of getting to sleep

The tram in front of the park will take you into the city, with just 1 change but with public transport in Holland no need to worry over the change. Most we waited was 5 minutes. An uber is about 24 euro. Quite happy with our stay, only complaint would be the air conditioning is a bit weak. Couldnt lower the room temp lower than 20 according to the thermostat.

The hotel was clean and comfortable, but basic. It is one of the more affordable hotels in Amsterdam, but this comes at the cost of being removed from the city centre. There are bus and tram stops a short walk from the hotel, however.
There isn't much choice for dining in the area, which seems to be a student campus. However, it is a short trip on public transport, or a walk, towards Station Zuid, where there is plenty of restaurants.

All in all, we enjoyed our stay.
