Looking for hotels near Schiphol Airport - AMS, Amsterdam?

Great airport. I thought stores would be open 24/7 but they close early at night... just a few stay open until midnight, mostly souvenir shops and duty free shops. Not many places to eat after 10 pm.

I liked it was next to the airport. I needed just a few hours stay for the 9 hour layover. We were in at 1AM and out at 9:50AM. The hotel didn't work for us for the time we needed. Found the Yotel and immigration stamped us and the next moring we walked really one minute to our gate. No re-entering through customes. This hotel would he good for folks staying a few days. Not for layovers. Yotel is for the short or longer layovers. We found it hard to navigate the airport if you came in the middle of the night. Not many workers that could point us the right direction. Took us 45 mins to get to the immigration desk because all the custom lanes were closed.

Huge shopping areas inside Arrivals and Departures Gate areas. Many food venues. However, Departures Check-in que confusing and poorly managed. Once checked-in, allow at least 1 ADDITIONAL HOUR get to gate due to major further delays! 1) Boarding Ticket scan to enter turnstile, for transit To Passport Control Area....NO crowd control. (Priority/Economy passengers all pushed together into same area.) 2) Inside turnstile..pushed together into narrow hallway to wait for clearance of escalator/stairs upstairs. 3) Passport Control automated...huge lines, 20 minutes wait to process, then human stamp into passport. 4) Walk was 1/2 hour from Passport Control to International D Terminal. Possibly 5 terminals away.

It very convenient to the city centre from here,you have a lot of choices to take ,such as train,bus.And it is not far from the city center,living in Schiphol airport is also a good choice of economic.

Brainwashed by awful and way too loud music all over the terminal. Typical "Dutch Arrogance" everywhere, and "Voice Loudness and blatant sheep-flock behavior" all over, in bars, restaurants, shops, even in bathrooms and elevators. Worst areas : Passport Control, KLM Supervisors handling complaints or problems, they mainly just support and execute the terrible money-greedy KLM policy of "let us try to earn an extra buck" from passengers in serious trouble. Little or no help, or support, or even empathy or understanding, only arrogance in return. Worst ever "Customer Service", lonely at the top, of any other International Airline. Even Airlines from "Banana Brousse Republic African Countries" treat their customers better, and show at least basic human respect. KLM is only interested in making (more) money and (more) profit, as much as possible. Caviar- and Ferrari- hungry and insatiable KLM Shareholders are their "real'' customers, not the passengers that buy a ticket. I would rather buy a boat , and roam, or paddle, from Europe tot the USA, than book a KLM flight for this trajectory, if that would be the only carrier.. Very poor policy of Schiphol Airport Management towards smokers as well. Smoking "containers" are hardly ventilated, extremely difficult to find, and highly insufficient in quantity, and capacity, smokers pressed together like sardines in a can. Will try to avoid Schiphol, and KLM, for future travel, as much as I can. London, Frankfurt and Paris do know what "Customer Service" really is all about, travelers in these airports are treated with respect, and human dignity, as it should be in every Airport.

Schipol was our gateway to a two week family vacation. It is easy to navigate, in/out of. We stayed at the onsite Hilton the night before heading back to the US, what a wonderful hotel and such a relaxing way to start an early morning flight back home.
