Grand Hotel Amstelveen
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want a quiet four-star with free parking, a big breakfast buffet and quick airport access. It costs more than both our other Amstelveen picks, so skip it if price is the main factor.

This is our Best Value pick in Amstelveen. It works for travellers with a car, families who need a family room, and anyone with an early flight who wants a quiet area close to the airport. Guests mention bus and tram links into the city.
It suits less well if you want to walk to Amsterdam's museums. They are far away on foot. It is also the most expensive of our three picks here, which is unusual for a Best Value choice, so read the price section before deciding.
Location and getting around
The address is Bovenkerkerweg 81. Guests describe a quiet area near the airport with bus and tram links to the city. The location score is 8.0, the lowest part of its profile.
The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam is about 9.3 km away, the Van Gogh Museum about 9.4 km and the Rijksmuseum about 9.6 km. That is roughly 116 to 120 minutes on foot by straight-line estimate, so it is far: you will need public transport or a taxi. Free parking is listed, which helps if you plan to drive.
What guests say
The score is 8.4 out of 10 from 2,036 reviews, joint third of the 4 properties in the sample.
Breakfast gets the most praise: an extensive buffet with fresh egg dishes and a range of breads. Guests also value the quiet setting and the public transport links.
The criticism is mild. Bathrooms are described as spacious with a separate tub and shower, but some tiles look outdated.
Price compared with our other two picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov, 2 adults) were about 134 euros a night, around 267 euros in total. The sample median was about 117 euros. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Be aware that both other picks were cheaper at those dates. Cityden Zuidas, our Budget pick, was about 97 euros with an 8.6 score. Cityden Stadshart, our Luxury pick, was about 118 euros with an 8.9 score. Both score higher.
So why choose this one? It is about what you get: free parking, a gym, a garden, a terrace, family rooms and a buffet breakfast. If you have a car or want a calm stay near the airport, those extras can justify the difference. If not, the Cityden options are better value on these numbers.
Why it made our top 3
Only 4 eligible properties were compared in Amstelveen, a small sample. Our Best Value slot balances guest score, review count and price. With over 2,000 reviews it has a large base of opinions, and its facility list is the broadest of the group.
