Zenstay Hotel Amsterdam - Zaandam

Clean and easy to find and arrive at from the train station. Convenient for Amsterdam and surrounding area. Code entry worked well after a first initial attempt (remember the #!). Quiet despite being around the corner from a busy area with bars and restaurants. Nearby shops seem to close around 5-6pm, so that area is quieter in the evening and not so good if you are away during the day and want to look around d early evening.

We had a great stay here as a family of 5 in the larger rooms. The place has been recently renovated so everything is new and clean. Comfy beds and a small kitchen area were great. It was also useful for us to have use of a (paid for) washing machine and tumble dryer in a laundry room upstairs. Easy self-check in. Walking distance (approx 10 mins) to Zaandam station then just another 10 mins on the train into Amsterdam Central. Several nice bars and restaurants directly across the road and a large supermarket just nearby. It would have been handy to have some basic user instructions for equipment provided eg air con unit, fans etc as any communication was via a chat bot which wasn’t always very clear or helpful. But overall we had a really great stay and would definitely recommend 😊

The entire experience of staying here was wonderful. Perfectly clean, great amenities, amazing location - so close to the main square of restaurants and bars for Zaandam, without any noise disturbance from that area of a night. During my booking, and in the lead up to our stay, all contact with the hotel staff was exceptionally helpful with fast responses. They even went above and beyond in their customer service when I added an additional night on to our stay, always being friendly and accommodating. Definitely will stay here again when I come back to stay in Zaandam again!

What a fantastic find in Zaandam — we couldn't have been happier with our stay. The hotel is surrounded by excellent options for dinner and drinks, with a wonderful atmosphere that makes it a pleasure just to step outside. A lively shopping street is just a few meters away, and the train station — with easy connections to Amsterdam and other beautiful nearby cities — is conveniently close, making it the perfect base for exploring the region. We were also lucky enough to enjoy the hotel freshly renovated, and it showed in every detail. Everything felt crisp, clean, and thoughtfully put together. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. And here's something we didn't expect to appreciate as much as we did: the peace of mind that came with staying in Zaandam rather than Amsterdam. As charming as Amsterdam is, it can get overwhelmingly chaotic — so coming back each evening to the calm and ease of Zaandam felt like a genuine relief. All the access, none of the stress. Highly recommended — don't overlook Zaandam as a base for your Dutch adventure.

I think, this is one of my favorite hotels now. It is located in a renovated historic building right in the center. Self-check-in was very easy and worked great. I did arrive a bit early, but was assisted with the room that was ready at that point. Room was very clean and comfortable. Various teas a thoughtful touch. Just be mindful, that the building is elevator-free, and the staircase ilmight be a challenge, if you packed a large suitcase.
