What guests think

Amsterdam Forest Hotel sits in a quiet suburban area with straightforward bus links to the center and airport, and it earns frequent praise for generally friendly staff, good value for short stays, and a breakfast many find fresh and satisfying.

Rooms are often compact, with very soft or paired single beds, and recurring maintenance or comfort issues such as weak or nonworking AC, faulty showers or drains, limited TVs or lighting, and thin walls or dim decor. Cleanliness ranges from spotless to disappointing; multiple reviews cite dust, stains, unpleasant odors or mold, inconsistent housekeeping, and several reports of bed bugs. With paid on-site parking and bike rentals, it works best as a practical, no-frills base for travelers comfortable with compact rooms and occasional maintenance trade-offs.

location is cozy, safe, and great price! It’s about a 15-20 minute bike ride to Amsterdam and they have a parking location at the hotel that cost extra. You can also rent bikes which is convenient. The bike ride is easy and enjoyable from the hotel to the heart of Amsterdam. Highly recommend this hotel

Perfektes Hotel vor oder nach einer Flugreise ab Schiphol. Alles ist sauber und in einem ordentlichen Zustand. Das Hotel liegt in der Einflugschneise des Flughafens. Nachts nimmt man die Flugzeuge aber kaum mehr wahr. Top-Empfehlung für ein Restaurant: Anno 1890 Bar Café, 5 Minuten vom Hotel!!!

Enkelt hotel på grensen til Amsterdam. Vi fikk rom i nabobygget, selve rommet var greit, rent og passe godt vedlikeholdt. Parkering i bakgård, observerte knust glass fra et bilinnbrudd. Lite spisesteder i området. Bodde her to netter for å besøke Amsterdam.

A nice hotel with a good bus connection to amsterdam. Nightbusses pass the hotel so you can go out late and still go back home on a budget. Parking at the hotel was 12.50 per night which is not something you expect after booking a hotel with parking spots. After checking the reservation the hotel indeed promissed parking spots but never said they would be free. Not a great start to a holiday. Check out at 11 is a little early, especially without option to extend. The 2 single beds were a little shifty. 4 layers of bed kind of move around allot if you try to exit the bed. The room was nice, cool and clean. Can't really ask for more than that at this price

This property has a bedbug issue that needs to be addressed. They know about it but so far it has not been resolved. Therefore I cannot recommend this hotel at all. Avoid room 612 I came away with over 100 bites.

Though conveniently located near transport (bus line) and relatively close to Amsterdam downtown, I cannot really recommend this place: * my room was small, bedding really in bad shape and I ended-up with bites of bed fleas during my stay. * staff was so-so * there is a GSM relay antenna 100 yards from the hotel.

Unfortunately, the stay at this hotel was tad disappointing. The room was not cleaned properly - the items including the desk, the bedside cabinets and the floor carpet were covered in dust. Additionally, water drain in the shower was not working properly, making it hard to take a shower without flooding the bathroom after a few minutes. Upon reporting these two issues early in the morning the next day, the room was neither tidied up to a higher standard, nor the issue with the water drainage were resolved. One of the receptions also seemed disengaged when having been informed about the issues (however, the other one was more interested and noted it down later).

Nice area but quite far out from the centre. Staff were nice but the hotel is run down, smelt of damp and just hadn’t been cleaned. There was a beer bottle on the floor and ash on the window when we arrived and someone else jeans in the wardrobe. Beds seemed cleaned but were not comfortable. We ended up just moving to a hotel closer in.

Main light above the sink in the bathroom was not working in addition to the mini fridge which would not get cold. Also safe in the room did nor have instructions on it as to how to open and close it. Beds were comfy and the AC system worked well in addition to there being plenty of room in the shower.

Mooie kamer met uitzicht op groen. Op kleine loopafstand een bushalte met directe lijn naar centrum van Amsterdam. Verder alles in orde, op een paar kleine dingen na. Nachtlampje naast het bed deed het niet. Volgens de receptiedame was dat niet erg, want 's nachts slaap je en heb je geen licht nodig. Het was niet mogelijk de deur van binnenuit op slot te draaien (handmatige grendel onklaar). Volgens de receptie was dit expres en bij alle kamers. Het magneetkaardsysteem was veilig genoeg. Als je een keer meegemaakt hebt dat er 's nachts opeens een onbekende met een magneetkaart in je kamer staat (niet in dit hotel), doe je voortaan de nachtgrendel er wel op. Kon dus niet. De deur naar de badkamer knarste en piepte ontzettend. Onmogelijk om 's nachts stilletjes naar de WC te gaan. Dat moet personeel toch ook merken? Er zou iets aan gedaan worden.

The Breakfast was good, but the check in was not professional. We arrived at 17:30 h and they were still not done cleaning the room that was appointed to us. Going up we saw the room open with the cleaning ladies still busy, we almost tripped over the cleaning card that was places in front of the elevator. And the front desk lady was not representative as clerk.

The hotel is tastefully decorated to a very high standard and the self-service breakfast was amazing - such qood quality food and enough choice to fill you up. The only negative is that it is quite far out from the city centre. The nearest tram stop (Kronenburg) is a brisk 10mins walk on flat pavements and there are buses just outside the hotel as well. The surrounding area is pretty much suburbia so it is safe, quiet and peaceful.
