We recently stayed at Ibis Budget Amsterdam. As expected, the hotel offers a very basic experience, but there were a few drawbacks. The room was quite small and had a noticeable odor. It also didn’t seem freshly cleaned, and we had to request clean towels and rent a blow dryer. Noise from the hallway was also an issue during our stay.
While the hotel is affordable, being outside the city center meant spending extra on transportation. In the future, we’ll consider staying closer to the center for more convenience and comfort, even if it means paying a bit more.
