We stayed at the Renaissance Amsterdam Schiphol Airport Hotel for one night about a month ago, and…read morewe had a very pleasant experience. Our stay started on a great note thanks to an awesome Portuguese gentleman at check-in. He was welcoming, professional, and got us checked in quickly, which we really appreciated after a night of traveling. When we got to our room, however, it was extremely hot because it had been a very sunny, warm day in Amsterdam. We called the front desk to ask if they could lower the temperature since there wasn't a thermostat regulator in the room. About 15 minutes later, the temperature hadn't changed, so I called again and learned that it couldn't be adjusted remotely. The staff offered the best solution by moving us to another room, and from that point on, everything went smoothly. The room itself was spacious, clean, and comfortable. One small detail that I truly appreciated was that the bathroom had washcloths. It may seem minor, but surprisingly many airport hotels don't provide them, so it was a thoughtful touch that didn't go unnoticed. The only other thing I found a bit unusual was that it took about 30 minutes for a taxi to arrive when we were heading into Amsterdam's city center. I'm not sure if taxis are simply less available in that area, but it's something to keep in mind. But once you're in the city center, getting a taxi back to the hotel was quick and easy. Checkout was fast and effortless ~ we simply returned our key cards and were on our way for our early morning flight. Our security deposit was also released just a couple of days later. I also liked that the hotel sent reminders before our upcoming stay and followed up afterward with a review request. Those little touches show they genuinely care about their guests' experience.

We got plenty of fans and a lot of empathy from the manager and the staff (which goes a long way). The next day, we got a new room with excellent AC a view of the ocean and the sound of ocean waves to fall to sleep with at night. In response to the first day's AC issue, we were comp'd breakfast for all six mornings we were there... and, since we're talking about breakfast, let me tell you it is awesome! The spread of fresh meat, cheeses, eggs, salad, and baked goods is on par with what you would find at a Four Seasons in the US (with less posh). Oh, and don't get me started on the coffee maker that pumps out espresso, coffee and cappuccino with a perfect top of crema every time! I kinda got addicted to it. They miss the 5 star rating from me for one reason though: we had a "queen" room and it was just two twin beds pushed together. They weren't the nice, comfy, foam mattresses that I usually find in Europe but the type with springs, and the springs were old and had seen better days. And, since its two beds pushed together, there's always an extremely uncomfortable gap in the middle so, cuddlers beware--you're gonna both have to cuddle on a twin bed or fall into the crack! It is the only reason (and a major reason) I might not choose to stay here again.

KLM booked a room here as part of an accommodation including dinner and free shuttle from airport. I paid for a taxi given the wait for the free shuttle -35 Euros for a 10 minute ride and worth it. The space is massive and is divided into two sections for rooms. Higher room numbers closer to reception and lower closer to the dining room. If your card won't work on the elevator you're not in the right section. Part of my accommodation was dinner at the Hotel's "World Buffet." I'm not a big fan of buffets so I asked at reception about it -I was assured this was one of the best buffets given his experience at multiple hotels. There was food from around the world as stated-Local, Asian, Indian, salad bar, dessert with cake and ice cream and espresso machines. I will say it was very good by Buffet standards (that said, given the full day of travel issues, most anything would've tasted good) & although I didn't pay, price is close to 40 Euros. They have a nice Bar with a Pool table and plenty of TVs for sports viewing, My room was a single with two comfortable twin beds and was just the right size. Mini fridge, safe, iron and free bottle of water were also included. The big and pleasant surprise was the indoor pool, Gym and spa amenities. Gym is open 24/7 and has all you need for a great workout. Not only did they have a dry sauna and steam room, they also had a Sanarium. (not as hot as a dry Sauna)-just what the Dr. ordered after a long travel day! Service was friendly and upbeat despite the very busy day given the travel issues. I could see planes taking off from my room but couldn't hear them & not too much close by. A good one for an overnight and if you need to be close to Schipol.

We were over impressed with this hotel and wish we could have stayed another night. Highly recommend this hotel.
