cute and quaint property. walls are pretty thin so you can hear everything as a light sleeper but otherwise no complaints. came here after a cancelled flight and i called ahead for them to wait for me at the front desk and they kindly did.

ALP De Veenen is a small hotel a short walk away from the centre of Amstelveen and the bus station. It is situated in a quiet street near the old town and a wide selection of bars and restaurants. The staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is plentiful, with a choice of breads and sandwich fillings, orange juice, coffee or tea, as well as the option of eggs and/or yoghurt. My room was small but comfortable, with coffee and tea making facilities, a fridge and a large television offering many different channels. The bathroom had probably been recently refurbished and looked lovely; the shower in particular was nice, with two different shower heads. The only reason why I haven't given the hotel top marks is that the room was rather hot, and if I left the window open at night I was kept awake by the traffic noise from the nearby motorway.

Wonderful! I was allowed to check in early, but thebroom wasn't ready. I asked about food. Gave me walking directions to something close. Room was ready when I returned. The rooms are named instead of numbered. That was cute. I visited the restaurant in the evening. Prices were normal for the area. The food and service was Awesome! I was attending a comedy show at the Ziggo dome. About a 30 euro taxi ride to there. 60 to Amsterdam Central station. I would definitely stay here again.

Issue I had with my 1-night stay: rooms on the ground floor are very noisy overnight because they're close to the room where meals are served. They shouldn't be offered to customers until serious works to insulate from noise are completed.

Great value hotel a bus ride away from the airport
A tired looking hotel exterior but my room was modern, spotless and comfortable. The apple and chocolate were a treat and breakfast was generous with a variety of choices. The staff were helpful and pleasant. There was even a cute young boy who held the door open for me. The airport bus is a 10 minute walk away.

Compact hotel in Amstelveen
Having fully read the description of this 3 star hotel, we were confident it meet our needs, and we were not mistaken. (Sometimes when you read critical reviews, you wonder if the person actually did their research or had excessive expectations...) The staff were very polite, attentive, and helpful; at breakfast, which was a continental version, served at your table (for COVID-compliance reasons), the waitress was very busy, but ever-smiling, and after just one day remembered that "we would like milk with our breakfast tea please". Evening meals were prepared by Roy ("Leroy"), and without exception they were first-rate! Clearly someone who enjoys what he does, if he is not too busy, Roy will happily discuss how he cooked what he has served. He's a cheerful character, and deserves recognition. The Dining room was nicely decorated and tables reasonably apart to encourage compliance with social distancing, and well illuminated too - you could actually see what you were eating! The stairs (we were on the 3rd floor) perhaps needed a bit more light, and were a bit steep, so you need to be aware of that when booking. The room we had (Karel Appel) was nice and clean, window not overlooked, compact, but perfectly adequate for a couple, with ensuite washroom separated by a sliding door. Remember you are in The Netherlands, so don't expect many English-language TV channels; but exploring the audio options for some films can give you interesting results. A lovely hotel.

Positive: Convenient location. Easy to park, close by Stadshart (shopping area) which is on walking distance. Not difficult to get to Schiphol airport. Nice personalized breakfast. Not so good: TV system doesn’t work well, often restarts and some channels are disrupted. Electricity in the room is not functioning well, in our case half of the wall outlets don’t have power. Location both positive and negative; nice to have a mall close by but for Amsterdam -which will be important for many people since there’s nothing to do in Amstelveen- you need to take a bus. They mention metro and tram but those are not close by at all and not findable so you’re stuck with the bus system. There’s a large bus station close to the hotel and mall, a ticket is rather expensive, count on €30 for 2 people as return, then a parking garage in Amsterdam center is even cheaper?!

Nice place, would stay again.
Very good stay. Just stayed 1 night. The room was a bit small but it was modern, clean, there was enough room to be comfortable, tea and coffee making facilities in the room and a nice bathroom all finished to a good standard and had a sort of coziness to it despite the decor being functional and minimalist. The breakfast was nice and for a 'Covid Breakfast' rather than the usual buffet it was a good effort. Free parking outside the hotel and a really good location easy to find and close to the Amsterdam Forest.

Great breakfast and friendly staff!
Our stay at Alp de Veenen was great! They have an amazing continental breakfast every morning and the room was clean and comfortable. The staff were incredibly helpful, giving very good information about what to do and see in Amsterdam and how to get there via public transport. Would recommend for anyone wanting to explore Amsterdam who have travelled with a car as they also have free parking.

Good location with walking distance to nearby amenities (shopping mall, groceries store, restaurants), highways and buses and trams. Only 6 km to Amsterdam Schipol international airport. Staff very courteous and accommodating. Good breakfast with varieties Basic rooms on 1st floor may need facelift Upgraded rooms on 2nd floor are great (safe box and hair dryer need to be functional)

Nice and simple, although more distant than Amsterdam than I was lead to believe. From the hotel to the the metro and tram stops its a good 15-20 minute walk. Nevertheless, it was a nice experience.
