Blue Tower Hotel&Restaurant - Reviews - Amsterdam

In the website said it was 3kms away from the center of town, but I guess we were fooled! It is the first time I do not double check using Google Earth… my mystake!

I would have preferred to stay in a hotel located in the center of town, but as we did not book it with enough time we could not find anything affordable. In order to get to Central Station you need to get Bus 21 for about 20 minutes. The hotel overall is ok for the money you pay. Remember to tell them to lower the heating system. By default it is set to 27 degrees and we almost got fried the first night. The only way to change it is to go to reception and program it from there.

The shower is good, and the room is quite clean overall. Breakfast was not too good, but you cannot expect anything better on a 3 star hotel paying 80 euros per night. It is not a new hotel, but it has been well renovated. There is also a small market around the corner, but there is nothing else. At the reception you can buy tranportation passes, which I strongly recommend. For 10 euros we had a 48hour transportation pass and it works quite well.
