"Ein Stern ist selbst zu viel!!! Achtung - Betrug!!! Das Boot was angeboten wird gibt es zwar aber wird ausschließlich bei booking angeboten. Wir standen vor nichts in Zaandam und mussten erst da hin fahren von Expedia aus bis wir Ersatz bekommen haben. Da hatten wir bereits 25,-€ Bahngeld bezahlt, was Expedia nicht interessiert hat. Wir hatten einen Tag vorher gelesen das es an dem Standort nicht existiert und am Anreisetag sofort Expedia kontaktiert. Die Kommunikation hat gut geklappt, nur...

The views from the back deck were very nice & allowed us to watch the sunset. The location is perfect in the quiet town of Aalsmeer yet a short drive to Keukenhof & Amsterdam. "

Sheraton Amsterdam Airport Hotel and Conference Center

Sheraton Amsterdam Airport Hotel and Conference Center

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing hotel. Loved the convenience of being steps away from the airport hall. Only qualm was while we were in a rush, we tried to activate the elevator to go back down but the did not work. No one answered the front desk on the elevator hall phone or my room phone. It felt quite distressing. Eventually when we returned to the elevator area after a few minutes the numbers reappeared and it worked again."
