citizenM Hotel Amsterdam South

Whilst a little way out of the centre of Amsterdam, this hotel was only a few minutes walk from the train station and tram stops that could take you straight into the city. The room itself was very modern and I enjoyed using the iPad to change the lighting and select films to watch. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful from the moment we checked in.

The room is compact and as such, there is no wall divider between the bathroom and bedroom. Whilst the toilet and showers were in cylindrical cubicles, they weren't soundproofed. So, if travelling with someone else, be conscious that you will be able to hear everything.

The hotel was clean and wonderful. the staff helped us with every small request. the room was warm and cleaned every day.

There was almost no closet space. The bathroom and shower are in the middle of the room, which was a new experience, but found it a bit weird.

Smart design

Seems a little impractical (wrt the bathroom facilities) for the first time user. May be one will get used to but given this was my first time, I was not very impressed.
