What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam - North Riverside by IHG, travellers highlight clean, modern rooms and friendly staff, a generally good included breakfast, and decent value, while noting a northside location requiring a walk to the ferry or metro.

Many appreciate spacious rooms with city or river views and the convenience of nearby supermarkets. Repeated comments mention crowded, sometimes chaotic breakfast service and frequent elevator outages causing long waits. Some found room design basic with limited storage, no fridge or safe, half-door showers that wet the floor, and occasional temperature or hot-water limits; weekend nightclub noise and pricey parking also come up. Expect a modern, value-focused base outside the centre with trade-offs in convenience and peak-time comfort.

An amazing and beautiful hotel to stay with good breakfast and welcoming staff. The only turn off for me as a fitness enthusiast is that the hotel has no gym or fitness center.

It was very comfortable but only having one lift working made it difficult to access rooms. In the morning we were packed in like sardines. This was very comfortable. A hotel of this size needs both lifts working. The menu was limited for evening meals. The fish was very grease (fish and chips).

One elevator was broken our entire stay. The only working elevator broke down during the early evening of our last day. We had to walk up and down 14 floors. It was still not working when we had to check out so we had to carry our luggage down 14 floors as the staff was busy assisting out guest with luggage. We did not find the response and communication from management adequate given the circumstances. No offer of compensation was offered. Only an apology. It was disappointing.

Great stay and exceptional view from 14th floor! N.B. You can access the city center by free ferry at about 10 min walk. Inside parking is NOT free (25 euro) and you have to book it beforehand. Outside parking is free, available and cheaper, but not free either. You can eat in the nearest shopfor 10-12 euros: buy a meal and heat it at place in the cafeteria microwave.

Værelset var rent og pænt. Dog med pletter hist og pist på gulvtæppet og gardinet. Hotellets personale var overordnet søde og rigtig venlige. Personalet informerede om at der kun ville foregå en rengøring, hvis man bad om det. Dog oplevede vi at der alligevel var foretaget en rengøring, mens vi var ude og opleve byen Morgenmaden var god. Dog manglede der lidt bacon og pølser for at fuldende Morgenmaden.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Matteo at check-in was outstanding – very friendly, professional, and always ready with useful information throughout my stay. Most of the staff were also welcoming and smiling, both at reception and in the breakfast/bar area, which created a pleasant atmosphere. The room was spacious, with beautiful design, perfect lighting, excellent soundproofing, efficient air conditioning, and a very comfortable bed. I also appreciated how pet-friendly the hotel is, with an excellent kit provided for my dogs. The location is very convenient, with several restaurants, supermarkets, bus stops, and metro/ferry connections to the city center within 1–1.5 km. I really liked the lobby and the small shop at the entrance. On the downside, the carpet had many stains that made it look older than it is, I found some hair in the toilet, and I missed having a minibar. I also think the wooden outdoor tables look a bit out of place compared to the otherwise modern and elegant décor of the hotel, almost like camping furniture. Finally, service at those tables was very slow – after waiting 45 minutes one evening, I decided to leave. Overall, a very good experience with only a few details to improve, and I would definitely recommend this hotel for its comfort, design, location, and friendly staff.

Couldn't work out why the sink was draining with the plug in, so took plug out, and about ½ meter of hair and slime came with it. Having a shower left the slippery floor soaked. At breakfast, they regularly ran out of spoons. The bar service person was less than enthusiastic to serve.

We arrived early into Amsterdam and using the train from the airport and metro, we arrived at the hotel around 0830. We were told check in was not before 3pm, we will store your luggage but basically, go away! We’ve traveled to other locations and arrived early and other hotels have stored our luggage and have been rather nice about it. This hotel’s response (from the person who identified as the Manager), was basically go away. We did explore Amsterdam and returned at 3pm and were checked it.

We came in rather early in around 11:30 in morning and were very tired from the time change. We just wanted to check in and rest however we couldn’t check in till almost a half an hour after the check in start time. It took all day for them to finish preparing the room. I saw quite a few people checking in with no problem,we weren’t one of them. The only thing I can think of is the higher floor. Your room is on the longer it takes for them to get to that floor. I don’t know, but it took them until well after 3 o’clock to have the room ready for us to check into. I’ve stayed in Europe quite a few times and once they know you’re in the hotel even if it’s a little bit before checkout time, they usually attempt to try to get the room ready. They didn’t make any attempts to get the room ready it was come back in a couple hours. Nope it’s 3 o’clock. It’s still not ready. Sorry you’re gonna have to wait longer. Other than that, I have no complaints.

I had a very disappointing experience at the Holiday Inn Express in Amsterdam during my weekend stay. At check-in, my room was not ready at the designated time, and despite multiple inquiries, the staff kept asking us to wait without providing any clear timeline. Meanwhile, other guests were being checked in without issue. After 45 minutes of frustration and having to argue with the staff, we were finally given a room. On our second night, we requested a breakfast box since we had to leave early at 5:15 AM. The reception assured us this service was available. However, when we checked out the next morning, the staff claimed they were not informed, and as a result, we missed our breakfast due to their miscommunication. Overall, this was a terrible experience. The lack of professionalism and coordination among the staff was unacceptable. I will never book this hotel again, and it severely damages the Holiday Inn brand.

My stay was most enjoyable. Two staff members stick out: Jackie in the breakfast area is one. She was very friendly and gave me valuable advice about places of interest after finding out that this was my first time in Amsterdam and what I was looking for. The second person was Mr. Olumude Olowolafe at the check in counter. Very professional and provided me with transportation options and how to get around Amsterdam. He also was very friend and personable. I've worked in the customer service field for 20 years and these two individuals are people needed on the front line of an organization to show the best the company has to offer.

We have 2 days advanced booking prior to our tour we arrived April 13. The hotel is fully booked, they cancelled my reservations. A day before we flown i called the customers service re credit card error in charging she said dont worry it will be charged upon arrival. I even offered to her that i will send another card details but the reply is dont worry we will reserve the room for you. But upon check-in the girl on the counter said it was cancelled. We spent another 250 euros just for the taxi looking for another hotel.

Location

Across the river in Amsterdam North, it’s about an 8–15 minute walk to the free ferry or metro; many find this workable, but others consider it far, especially with luggage. The area is generally quiet with nearby supermarkets, though some noted construction or felt uneasy at night.

Room was clean and very comfortable; fantastic view from the bedroom. No drawers to put clothes but not really an issue. The buffet breakfast was superb - I'm Coeliac but did not go hungry. Neither did my husband who has a normal diet. All the staff were polite and helpful. The only downside was the lunch/dinner offering - very limited and nothing gluten free. Most nights we were in central Amsterdam but as we had an early flight home (for which we were provided a breakfast box), we wanted to eat at the hotel on our last night - my only option was a chicken ceasar salad with no chicken (as it was battered) and no croutons.
