Hotel City Garden - Amsterdam

We stayed here in March 09 (3 Adults and 3 Kids) and while it is not the standard of a modern hotel, it has it's charms. It's beside the park, the museums, and is a great location for the restaurants and bars. Rooms were clean but more detail should be paid to the bathrooms. If you are looking to spend a lot of your time on site-seeing and using the hotel just to freshen up and sleep then Hotel City Garden is the one for you.

if your planning on walking to the city centre then this hotel is not recommended however if you dont mind a 5 minute tram ride then this is perfect. you have the comfort of being in the quiet area of amsterdam known as the fashion district with some great retail shops and a good night sleep. the hotel staff are extremely helpful, and with great clean rooms and a communal pc for internet access this was an overall enjoyable stay.

Great hotel for a good price, with friendly personal and breakfast was delicious!

Located on a quiet residential street; ½ block away from Vondelpark; about 5 blocks from Van Gogh museum and Rijksmuseum. Delicious bakery nearby; shopping & restaurants down the block. Tram stop quite close. Walking distance to touristy area w/Hard Rock café and Mac?s Bikes. My room was just below the lobby so noisy during high traffic times. Otherwise a good place. Breakfast was included, but never ate there as I preferred the bakery down the street. A good value. The staff was nice and helpful. I would stay here again.

The hotel is some way out of the city centre, but a trip on a No. 2 tram gets you into the Dam Square in about 7 minutes. Near the hotel are the two main Art museums and the Vondel Park. There is no facility for an evening meal but many restaurants in various tastes may be reached quickly on foot. The breakfast provided is excellent and the staff are very helpful and friendly. We were amused by the "price list of all items in the room" because some visitors may wish to take them away! Any missing items may be added to the bill. We thought the HD TV was good value at 500Euros! Definitely worth considering

Single room is a slight overstatement, although the room was very very small (just enough room for me and my suitcase) it was clean and presented well. However, i really wasn't impressed with the price i paid for that tiny hole of a room in the basement of the hotel. The bathroom was again clean and well presented, i especially likeed the walk in shower, although it was badly designed which allowed the water to gather at the entrance! The staff were frendly though not very accomodating and breakfast was nice in a lovely breakfast room.
