Hoofddorp Hotels with Gym

The Executive Residency was fine for our purposes. We came by bicycle and a secure area was provided for our bikes. The room was small, but adequate for our needs. There were a few little glitches - the lockbox was locked - some plates were left in the microwave oven, but nothing that we couldn’t deal with. The service staff were fine - one young man was a little overmatched for the work, but the other staff were fine. Overall - this is an adequate, no frills place to stay in Hoofddorp

The surroundings are quite quiet, and there are playground facilities. Breakfast is decent. It's a bit far from the airport, even though it's an airport hotel. There's a shuttle bus directly to the airport, and also from the airport to the hotel, but you need to book it in advance. Eating out is quite a distance, with the closest option being a McDonald's.

This is supposedly an ”airport hotel,” but it's in the middle of nowhere. I was there purely for a B2B trade show, so I had no choice of location. There's not much to say about room 604: spacious, modern, etc. Just one point: you could provide more than two coffee pods, because for a multi-night stay, if you don't ask for more and they don't clean the room, it's simply not enough. But the main issue was the key card that opens the room. For example, it didn't work in elevator 1 (apparently, this is a known issue, according to reception: when will you fix it?), and on the second day, it couldn't even open the floor doors or the room door anymore. It's unpleasant to have to go down six floors late at night and be escorted by staff just to get into your room :-(. Another major problem was the restaurant. For the last two days, they offered repetitive, rather basic buffets with very small plates. Absolutely nothing à la carte. Many people were disappointed and unhappy, whether they were like me attending the B2B event on the first floor or even all the tourists. Some were furious about the mediocre selection.

We stayed 3 nights at the Moxy Amsterdam Schiphol. Hotel is relatively quiet. The Moxy shares a shuttle with NH Hotel. For the shuttle to the airport, payment is expected via a chip per person which can be obtained from reception and booking has to be made. It costs €4 per person who is not a Marriott Bonvoy member or €3.5 for members. It is free from the airport to the hotel. There is no fridge, coffee or tea making facilities. We had to place a deposit of €90 on check in. Free coffee available in the morning only as the grab and go. No bottle water given as tap water is drinkable.
