Brilliant weekend away

The hotel is very close to the train station (5mins walking distance) and everyone was very helpful in getting us there when asked. When reaching the hotel we had a warm welcome from the porter on door step and the reception staff were equally as friendly. The room was very clean the only issue was the bed was two large singles put together with a board on top (as most hotels do), but this made the bed slightly uncomfortable. The next morning when we went down to breakfast the cleaning staff were very polite on our floor and we were greeted for breakfast. The breakfast was very nice and a good selection. When we went out for the day, we realised how well located the hotel was. A few minutes to the left were two large shopping centres, madame tussads, the royal palace, shopping streets and restaurants. A really relaxing stay.

Convent Hotel - Perfect Location - Value for your €

The Convent Hotel in Amsterdam was wonderful. A 5-minute walk from the train station, the hotel is a perfect location for seeing most of the Amsterdam sights via walking. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and delicious, hotel staff professional and supportive, the rooms are not large but space is optimized so there are extra chairs, a desk, a table, nice TV, mini-bar and a king size comfortable bed with excellent down pillows. The bathroom was clean and while the water pressure in the shower was not the strongest I have experienced, it was a lot better than some hotels I stayed. I will look for Convent Hotels in other cities I visit.

Location, location, location.

Easily walkable to major areas of interest: canals, xxx, museums, palace, anne frank, park, etc. Very near to Central Station so can take train from airport and then 10 min walk to hotel. It's not a fancy hotel but it is a good staging area to visit points of interest.

Get the "I Amsterdam" card. It was the best deal for traveling on Trams and buses. Nice discounts at most museums.
