no joy at JoyHotel

Hotel is dated and the whole area seems to be a little unsafe. Worst of all: reception called me at 5.30 am in the morning to let me know that they forgot to take my credit card details at check in. A phone call from the reception at 5.30 am; ridiculous ! So if you need sleep at night, you better stay away from this place !!

Property was about a 2-hour walk from Central Rail station. So you will have to get to know the transit. But M54 train will take you directly to and back from City Central Rail and then everything else is in walking distance. Hotel was clean and except for a few slamming doors and people coming in at 2:00 a.m. in the morning it was very quiet. The stuff was very helpful. I plan on staying here again in the near future and I would recommend this property although it is a little bit overpriced but this is Amsterdam after all and everything here is expensive

This visit was an overnight stay as we were going to a concert at the arena. Location was perfect. Hotel was basic but fit for purpose. Parking was a bit chaotic, but got sorted relatively easily. We did not eat at the hotelso I cannot evaluate it.

Ok for a night or 2

Stayed here 5years ago and now, yesterday. The beds are still hard. The only negative thing about the room really. 😊 If you are going to a concert (ziggo dome, afas live) or a match (ajax), this is a perfect place to stay if you dont want to bother with transport to and from Amsterdam city. There is a cinema 10min away, same as shopping area etc. I enjoy coming back here when going to a concert. Have many fond memories from staying here! Never had any issues 😊 More than 3 nights and your whole body hurts though..so if you like comfy beds. Try somewhere else 😅 very quite here!!

Good for a short stay.

Fairly comfortable bed but a bit noisy. Able to hear people in other rooms and doors banging etc. Not much in the local area but 5 mins from metro. Better than most hotels in the centre so represents good value if you don't mind commuting.

Bra övernattning för att besöka Amsterdam

Vi har varit i Amsterdam och ska vidare till Belgien. Bra att övernatta här. Lätt att ta metron in till city. Rummet var rent och fräscht. Ett rökfritt hotell men när vi öppnade vår rumsdörrar ut i korridoren så luktade det väldigt mkt cannabis. Området där hotellet ligger är under uppbyggnad så inget område att vistas i.
