I recently enjoyed my stay at the Van Der Valk Hotel Amsterdam - Amstel, which offered a mix of positives and some drawbacks. The breakfast was definitely a highlight, with a wide variety of options, but I found the drinks at the bar to be quite pricey. The spa area was nice, though small, and I appreciated that the metro station was just a short walk away, making it easy to explore the city. However, I experienced a bit of confusion with my special requests upon arrival and had some issues with lift waits during busy times, especially at checkout.
