“Accessible modern Dutch design with affordable accommodation. Small high tech rooms are bright and airy, with top notch accessories including rain showers and free movies on demand. The living and canteen area are lively meeting spots. A cool and good value choice for a city break.”

Hotel review

CitizenM Amsterdam City may not be the most central option in Amsterdam, but for a great value hotel, with top notch amenities, it really can't be beaten. As with all citizenMs, the emphasis is on luxury for less. In this outpost you'll find the usual huge beds with luxury linens, wall to wall windows, rain showers, free movies on demand, and ambient mood lighting in every room. The styling in the common areas is trendy to say the least, think huge spaces designed to resemble your own home, featuring iconic Vitra furniture and plump cushions, plus iMacs dotted around for everyone to use. CanteenM provides the food and drink and is open 24hours whether you're after a beer and snack or a simple cup of tea. A cool spot whether you're in town for business or pleasure.
