First time to Amsterdam and wasn’t totally sure what to expect, however the Hoxton, Lloyd was the absolute highlight. The staff were incredibly warm and accommodating throughout our stay, and considering we were dealt some not so perfect whether our first few days – being at such an incredible hotel with a stunning restaurant and lounge was exactly the rest and relaxation we needed. You are positioned right across from the wharf so are treated to a different side of Amsterdam compared to the canals which may be more commonly associated, but coming from living in London with all the hustle and bustle it was the reduced foot traffic and noise that we appreciated – especially since you are only 10 to 15 minutes away from pretty much everything anyway (especially with the tram being less than a five minute walk away from the front door). Our room didn’t have windows to see much on the outside which was the only downside otherwise only have good things to say.
We had a really pleasant stay at Hotel Abba. The location is super convenient — centrally located with a tram stop just around the corner, making it easy to get to the airport in about 30 minutes. It’s also within walking distance to key spots in Amsterdam, which made exploring the city a breeze.
A special shoutout to the manager, who was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. He made sure we had everything we needed and generously provided as many amenities as possible to make us feel at home.
The breakfast was a real highlight — fresh, tasty, and a great way to start the day. Lots of variety and definitely one of the better hotel breakfasts we’ve had on our trip.
All in all, great value for money, lovely service, and a fantastic location. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Amsterdam!
