Urban Lodge Hotel

Stayed here for a week, had a lovely time! The staff were all brilliant, very kind and patient. Definitely recommend getting the breakfast, best buffet I have ever had. (See photo) The rooms were quite clean and well made up. We were on the top floor in a king sized suite. There were USB plugs as well as EU ones, so I didn't ever have to use my adapter plug. Shampoo and conditioner were provided, which was good, as we had only packed small containers of shampoo. The location is perfect! The train station is only a short walk away, and next to it is a Spar where we got breakfast each morning, and snacks each evening. It's only one stop away from the centre, so we would walk down when we felt like it, and hop on the next train. There is a vending machine in the lobby, with a decent variety of snacks and drinks for midnight snacking. I only had 2 negatives, and they were both VERY mild: we weren't provided with a remote for the TV, and when I went to ask for one, the replacement didn't work, but that gave me more motivation to finish my book! Also, our room was next to the lift, so we did hear a lot of mechanical noise in the evening, but it was like listening to white noise really and didn't bother us once we figured out what it was.

We stayed in this hotel for four nights. This location is best for people who have a car, as they can use the parking lot—but it’s not very big. I think around 30 cars can park there. You can walk less than 15 minutes to the train and bus stations. Inside the room, everything was clean. If the pillow isn’t suitable for you, you can ask them for another one. If you book your room through their website, you’ll get a token for free drinks—so don’t hesitate! In the lobby, you’ll find a cozy atmosphere and some board games on the table. And about breakfast: it offers an acceptable selection. Thank you!

A spacious room and a nice aesthetic hotel. It’s good for families, couples and people wanting to party but out of the centre. We personally liked how it was out the way a bit but easy to get to the centre - others might want to be more in the bustle of things when they visit Amsterdam. Local restaurants, a coffee shop and train station nearby. Was a solid 4/5.
