If All You Need Is Just a Bed
Are you a no-frills-just-want-a-bed-person and looking for a budget hotel in Amsterdam? EasyHotel Amsterdam fulfills your wish: a comfortable bed at a budget price. Can you go without spare towels, internet access, early check-in, left luggage service, television or extra pillow and is bright orange your favourite colour? Then EasyHotel Amsterdam City Centre South is your place, because you won’t pay for one single item you don’t need. The extras mentioned can all be provided but you will have to pay for them. As Amsterdam is a biking city, EasyHotel also rents out lovely bright orange bikes at an affordable price.
The Room
Your room in EasyHotel is minimalist but functional. The duvet-covered double bed or two single beds take up most of the space and you’ll be surprised how much space is left to to manoevre around. Day light streams in through a window as wide as the room itself. The window sill is a good place to stack your belongings. The prefab bathroom contains a powerful shower and a tiny wash basin. Your room has heating and air-conditioning which can be individually regulated, a mirror and a shelf, a several hooks and a coat hanger. Your luggage is stored under the bed.
Extras
To make your stay in EasyHotel Amsterdam more comfortable you pay extra for cleaning your room, an extra towel, fresh bed linen, check-in before 3 pm and for storing your luggage. If you want to watch television or use WiFi you also pay a small fee.
Rates
The price of your room is based on the earlier you book, the less you pay. Holiday periods cost more than low season.
Conclusion
If all you need is a bed for the night and a shower, EasyHotel Amsterdam is great. The Hotel is located away from the centre but still within easy reach of all sights. The Rijksmuseum is 10 minutes on foot. If you don’t fancy walking, hop on one of the trams. The tram stop is just opposite the hotel.
