Mercure Amsterdam City

Mercure Amsterdam City is a nice hotel in Amsterdam, even if it is not really in the city like the name may suggest. With a 15 minutes walk you can reach the Spaklerweg Metro station, which is 1 km away, and from that you will be in the real city center in few stops. The staff is kind and helpful, shower caps are available at the reception, and besides the bar (which closes at 23:00) there is a kind-of automatic food dispenser where you can get something to eat/drink 24h. The room service was not available during my stay, the first night we arrived late (22:15) without having had dinner, for some reason the restaurant was closed that night (it should have been open until 23:00), and the best option seemed to get something from the bar, which did not have many options, so the staff informed us that we could also order something from Uber Eats, which we did. In any case a McDonald's is available at 750 meters, on the route to the Metro. The rooms are very nice with a good amount of space both in the room and in the bathroom, and Nespresso machine and coffee. The parking is 32€ per night which I think is a bit too much, considering where you are. The hotel has also a Fitness Center and a Spa which we did not have the time to try. I was not sure whether to rate the hotel 5 or 4, considering that the Restaurant was closed, room service was not available, and the position, but our stay was closer to a 5 than a 4, so I gave it a 5.
