"We had a two weeks vacation and we're tired of driving we returned the car early and stayed at Ibis. The airport shuttle was convenient (could be very crowded in the morning). The closeness of the bus station (across the street) made it easy for us to spend the day in n Amsterdam before our flight the next day."

"We stayed here for a short break, 3 nights. On arrival we used the self check-in machines at the front entrance, we accidentally hit a button that gave us two complimentary drinks at he bar, but this meant that due to environmental friendly hotel policy we would not have our rooms cleaned, including no replenishment of towels or bedding and no cleaning of the room including not waste or rubbish disposal! The AC is set at a minimum temperature, so room did get very hot. Overall the hotel was ok and located in a brilliant place, close to metro and some amazing little restaurants by the river"

"Breakfast was great, staff were lovely to stay with, the restaurant served peppermints (which we loved) , overall, it was pretty good. However, there are some downsides during our stay: Such as the fridge which was not cold at all so don’t buy milk or ham for next day supplies . There were no free bottles of water in room. As well as this, the water sold at the lobby/reception was a bit overpriced (the price being around 5 euros each) and the WiFi is a bit laggy when the three of us were using it . hotel is good and breakfast was delicious 😋 . Leonardo Hotel, thank you for having us and we will definitely come back.😄😄😄"
