Review of Van der Valk Hotel Schiphol A4

The location of the hotel is quite unfortunate. From the airport there is a shuttle every 40 minutes, but the last one leaves at 23.40 from the airport.
Since we have already had some unpleasant experiences with the taxi from the airport (45 from the airport to the hotel), you should make use of the shuttles also.

From the outside, the hotel looks a bit inviting, as it is like a huge concrete bunker.
From inside the hotel in the lobby and dining area looks better and upscale.
The rooms are already quite old and could do with a renovation. The beds were relatively comfortable though.
The spa area was unfortunately not very appealing. When we wanted to go to the spa, kiddie swimming took place in the relatively small pool, which then deterred us from using the spa to relax.
The breakfast buffet is very rich and the large selection leaves nothing to be desired. The times also allow great flexibility (5-11 clock).
