Amsterdam: Amadi Park Hotel

After setting off in the early hours of the morning and driving and travelling until late at night, albeit the flight itself was lovely as quick, the last thing I needed was to rock up to the hotel and fall asleep on a bed of uncomfortable bricks...enter Amadi Park hotel to solve all my problems. We were greeted by a lovely woman who went through everything with us, from the best tourist attractions to the best places to get rat arsed. She showed us to our room and my feet literally came from underneath me, a lovely step in the right direction from my usual Travel Lodge on a budget. 

see "the cube" shower room to the right. 

This room had everything bar a bath, which I hate anyway so it was like it was made for me! Black out electric blinds, walk in shower, kind sized bed, TV, coffee maker, THE WORKS. The toilet and shower situation was a bit  confusing at first, they're in a glass box, think "the cube" with blinds but it's actually quite quirky so you can shower looking out or with someone looking in, if you're into that! Or, my preference, completely sealed off, like a separate room. 


The Amadi Park Hotel is located just a 10 minute walk from one of the main areas of Leidseplein so not exactly in the centre but it doesn't need to be really because it is surrounding by beautiful boutiques and cafe's which are perfect for a brekkie and snack. It has a cafe just underneath and a supermarket a round the corner if you want to just chill out one night and binge of Dutch food, like us! Well, we wanted to take full advantage of the room in our defence alright! 


Comfort 10/10 
 I even asked where they got these pillows from, it was like sleeping on a cloud, either that or the vodka did the trick. 

location 8/10 
 It is about a half hour walk from Dam Square so if you're a bit of lazy ass then it's not ideal and after a few drinks it isn't the easiest to find. 

Quality 8/10 
 The room was great but the mini fridge wasn't stocked and the maid woke us up early every morning despite the "do not disturb" sign we hung outside. Other than the one or two little inconveniences it was perfect!
