Holiday Inn Express Sloterdijk is a modern hotel, easy to reach with train from Schipol or by car from the highway. Its only a 20 min and very beautyful tram ride from Amsterdam City Center, but hotelprice is about half of the price in the city. We have stayed in the hotel more times, and we like the hotel, the surroundings and off course the price - even though prices in general in Amsterdam have gone considerably up. Even though its a modern hotel, it needs a little maintenance, fx the aircon was out of order carpets and paint need a refreshment. The hotelbar, where we have spent good times earlier, was closed down, and only canned beverages were available from the reception. Breakfast buffet is modest but OK.
