We stayed here on the last day of a two-week trip through France, Germany and The Netherlands -- the hotel is literally connected to Schipol Airport, yet we never heard a single plane. The beds are great, the Runway restaurant is really good, with friendly service. Being right at the airport makes catching your flight so easy. The hotel even has departure boards for the airlines on the lobby level and on your televisions to check. We would definitely stay here again and I'd recommend it to all my friends.

Amsterdam Delight

My husband and I vacationed in Russia and on our return we had to change planes in Paris. Our plane was to depart at 1 p.m. and Air France went on strike at noon. I'll spare you the details, but within 24 hours Charles de Gaulle looked like the New Orleans Convention Center after Katrina. People were everywhere srambling for a way out of Paris. Twenty-four hours later when my husband and I were told that we could not get out by air for five days, we decided to take the train to anywhere to fly home. We were able to fly out of Amsterdam three days later so we opted to take the train to Amsterdam.
Fortunately, Starwood Hotels has a Sheratonl right off the baggage area at Charles deGaulle airport. We asked the concierge to help us reserve space on the train and also book a room for us at the Sheraton at the airport in Amsterdam.
You would think that the flight traffic would be disturbing. We didn't hear one engine. The room was fabulous, unbelievably comfortable and full of amenities. The food was a feast each morning. The staff was elegant, friendly and most accommodating.
If you think you'll be too far away from the city, the transportation to and from the airport is plentiful and speedy whether by bus or train. We always wanted to go to Amsterdam, but not by accident. By the time we flew out of there after two nights, you would have thought we planned the trip thanks to the thoughtful, experienced concierges at Starwood.

The staff was very attentive, the hotel is clean and rooms were a good size. No airport noise whatsoever despite its location. Contrary to the amenities listed many places, it has not had a pool for at least a couple of years. Overall- high-quality and a hallway from the airport and rail station, which have lots of eating and shopping options.

Can't Beat the Location... Or the Beds!

If you ever have layovers at Schipol (AMS) Airport, you'd be silly not to stay at the Sheraton. The hotel is right inside the airport (but it's still remarkably quiet inside your room), so if there are luggage problems, delays, etc., it's extremely convenient-- you can go check in and get some sleep, without having to hang around the airport to get your stuff. The beds are out of this world-- crazy comfortable! And the train station is also connected (about a 1-minute walk) so downtown Amsterdam is only a 6-Euro round-trip ticket away. Best part: if you're arriving from the US, you get to AMS in the very early morning (about 7 am) and they will allow you to check in THAT early-- with no extra night's charge! I stay here 2-3 times per year, whenever I connect at AMS. And I plan to do so each time I connect there in the future. One of my favorite hotels for business in the world.

Hotel was everything it was portrayed to be. Conveniently located, staff was wonderful, rooms very comfortable. We were only able to spend two days in Amsterdam and the convenience of being able to catch the train or bus from the airport to basically anywhere we wanted to go was wonderful. We hope to have the opportunity to travel to Amsterdam again and will definitely stay there.
