Fantstic hotel!!!
I stayed at schipol a4 on 31st march 07 with my husband & two chidren age 3 & 9yrs. after arriving in amsterdam it was easy enough to find the train station & catch a train to schipol airport this takes approx 8-10 mins, they run every few minutes from various platforms. once at the airport the free shuttle bus goes directly to the hotel from in front of the airport.(this is well sign-posted, look for shuttle signs)that also only takes about 10 mins however the bus only runs every 40 mins so once you get to the hotel ask them for a timetable. this doesn't cause a problem if you plan your journey times. when we arrived at the hotel at 12noon we were 3hrs early for check in & just wanted somewhere to leave our luggage however the staff were extremely friendly & helpful & let us have our room straight away, fantastic if you've got tired young children with you. the staff were brilliant with the children, chatting & getting them involved in the checking in process. my 9yr old son thought it was great to be involved in such an important process!!! it was also explained at check-in where the pool, restaurant etc were & the times that breakfast & dinner are served. the rooms were lovely & spacious. we had a double bed (2 singles pushed together but didn't bother me at all as they seemed to be a lot bigger than our single beds at home)& a single bed each for the children. the beds were so comfortable i didn't want to leave! we had 2 large windows/doors that led onto balconies with a lovely view of the gardens. room was fully air conditioned & once it turned a little cooler & the heating was switched on it was lovely & warm. the bathroom was huge with a double ended bath, a seperate shower cubicle & lots of freebies in a little gift bag. the only thing missing from the room was tea/coffee making items, no kettle etc but on each floor is a vending machine so it wasn't a great big problem. we used the swimming pool & were offered fresh towels to take with us on our way past reception which was great as we hadn't took any extra towels with us from home. the only warning i would give regarding the pool is there is no shallow end, it's 1.4m all the way across so armbands are definately needed for none swimmers. breakfast was included in our stay & was lovely, with something for everybody's taste. lots of fresh juice, fruit, cereal, meats, cheese, bread, yogurt, eggs, chipolatas, bacon, tea/coffee etc etc etc. well worth paying the extra for. if you don't want to eat in the restaurant over the car park from the hotel is a small complex with lots of eating places. there's kfc, a bbq & grill restaurant, chinese, a sandwich bar & various others so lots of choice. i would definately recomend this hotel. even though it's a little out of the centre of amsterdam it's worth the 20-30mins traveling back & forth. i can't think of anything at all bad to say about the hotel at all. the staff were brilliant, very friendly & made us feel very welcome. we will be staying again on our next visit to amsterdam but we'll certainly stay longer next time.
