Whilst the hotel is in a quiet neighborhood it is directly under the flight path for Schiphol airport. There is also a construction project opposite the hotel - but this appears quiet at weekends.
The rooms are allegedly air conditioned - but ours never worked, so we had the window open. (We did report this issue.). The rooms themselves are a reasonable size and come with tea and coffee making facilities. The bathroom has a sink, toilet and shower.
Breakfast is included - a simple buffet of tea, coffee, fruit juices, breakfast cereal, bread, cold meats and cheese; the hot selection limited to boiled eggs and hash browns.
Reception staff are helpful and can book excursions and store luggage before checking in and after checking out.
There is a parade of shops adjacent to the hotel and two supermarkets.
The tram stop Van Boshuizenstraat is a couple of minutes walk from the hotel and is served by the 25 (goes to Amsterdam Zuid/South) and the 5 (goes to Amsterdam Zuid and the museum quarter). It's one stop from Zuid to the airport. I'd recommend getting a travelcard from Centraal or Schiphol stations.
When arriving from Zuid you can exit the tram to the right and cross the road by the Albert Heijn supermarket - the hotel is located behind the supermarket.
