Best Western Zaan Inn

Hotel is clean, staff were great, rooms are small for north america standards but nice for European standards. Note: If you collect points on the rewards card, you must book directly with Best Western (more expensive) or they will not give you them. Location was near public transit so getting there from the airport and into Amsterdam was easy and quick. less

Near station and supermarket. Only 10-15mins to Amsterdam. But need to be wait for 10-15mins for train from Amsterdam to Zaandam station at night after 9:00p.m..The restaurant is closed too early around 5:30 near the hotel. Too difficult to find a dinner after 19:00. Having dinner in Amsterdam is in advance. less

I started staying here for work in Feb 2019 and i must say each time i go back it gets better and better. The staff are what make the hotel. From the Reception staff , Bar , restaurant staff and chefs you really get the impression that the number one focus is the customer. The rooms are modern and of good quality. I have stayed in the standard room and king rooms and the only difference is the bed, there is ample room . The location is great and is 2 mins from zaandam station and a short walk to Zaandam centre. less

My friends and I stayed at this hotel for 3 days, during our visit to Amsterdam in September 2019. The staff were friendly and were able to check us in early, which we appreciated. The location is good, as it is situated next to a train station, which will take you about 15 minutes to get to Amsterdam Central. We did not have breakfast here, so cannot speak to that. But there were a number of shortcomings with the room itself. Many of the fixtures did not work – table side lamps, main lamp, hot water kettle. The phone in one of our rooms was not working. We were told by the receptionist that since it’s the weekend, it would only be fixed when the technician returns on Monday (which did not happen). Some of the fixtures were attended to, but something or the other was not working. Housekeeping was just about ok, forgetting to replace coffee mugs on one of the days. Accommodation, anywhere in Amsterdam is not cheap. Therefore, the hotel needs to ensure that they have the basics of the room amenities functioning, at a minimum. There have a large grocery store less

The Zaan Inn is a modern minimalistic hotel in a central location with compact but comfortable rooms, and free off street parking. The staff are cheery and efficient. Having the train station close by make for an easy trip to the heart of Amsterdam less
