From Schiphol Airport there’s a direct train to Amsterdam Central Station (CS) approximately every 10 minutes. Check the public transport planner 9292 for timetables. The train gets you to CS in 10 minutes.

You need a chip card: buy it at the yellow machines at the airport or at  GVB (communal public transport).

We have a hostess, no reception. A few days before your stay, you let us know (around) what time you’ll arrive. The hostess will be there to hand you the keys. She’ll walk you through the location.

To check out, let us know again and we’ll be there to collect the keys. If you’ve had a great stay of if you want to share some suggestions with us, please tell us. We appreciate it.

Cars can be parked free of charge in front of the Warehouse. Two private parking places in front of the building are included. But parking in the streets is (still) free in Amsterdam North.

Reminder if you decide to use our rental bikes: please reserve them IN ADVANCE so we can make sure there are enough of them ready for you when you arrive.

No. The Warehouse Hotel locations are apartments, not just one hotel room. We apply a minimum of two nights. Lean back and enjoy;)

Yes, all bed clothing and blankets are included. The beds are made. 

No. We don’t include towels anymore for environmental reasons, so people use their own towels more than once (it saves the planet a lot of washing).

You can order our TOWEL RENTAL SERVICE for € 2,- per towel. Please do reserve them in advance so we can put enough ready for you at your arrival. (And re-use them if possible. There’s plenty of space to hang them to dry.)

Naturally. You get the password at arrival.

Of course! Toast your bread, dry your hair, iron your shirts, all is available. The Warehouse Hotel locations may look rough and industrial, they’re actually detailed with many facilities to make you feel perfectly at home.

The fully equipped kitchens with restaurant quality stove make home cooking possible for larger groups. You can all have a coffee, breakfast or dinner together with some nice music on, playing on the stereo with mini-jack cable for MP3.

Although our rental bikes get you into town fast, our pool table and other playground accessories may keep you here;)

Downstairs you’re allowed to smoke, preferably in the area closer to the front door (and further away from the beds on the half floor). Smoking is not allowed upstairs and certainly not in the bedrooms. The smell lingers around too long. Thank you for considering clean air and fresh rooms for all our guests!

Tidying up: please do so yourself.  Cleaning: yes, that’s our job.

We kindly ask you, to please tidy up as you would in your own house. Do the dishes and put them back in the cupboards. Use garbage bags for your trash. Thank you!

Afterwards the thorough cleaning, washing and making beds will be done by us. We charge a cleaning fee for it.

Yes. We hope you appreciate the attention we put into creating the Warehouse Hotel locations. We assume that you’ll keep the place as neat and original as you found it. But accidents can happen…

The Big Warehouse is located near various supermarkets and a fresh market place.

At the street called Mosveld there’s DEEN supermarket and Albert Heijn (a 5-minute walk). A little bit closer is GENCO, a Turkish grocery store. Good meat, feta cheese, olives & fresh vegetables.

To walk / bike over there: leaving the Warehouse, head for the bigger street Papaverweg and go right. Pass the water on your right hand. Continue straight on the right side of the road. At the traffic lights, cross the big street Kamperfoelieweg and go right on the other side. On your left you pass GENCO but more regular supermarkets are just a little bit further down, past the viaduct and then on the left. There’s a fresh fish shop (order some real Dutch raw herring!), an artisan bakery and a drugstore too.

The fresh market is straight on instead of left, at Van der Pekstraat. (Wednesday – Friday – Saturday 9.30 AM – 4.30 PM). Along that road are several little places for coffee, breakfast or lunch and takeaway food.

The best way in Amsterdam is to go around by bike! You can rent them with us (LINK NAAR BIKE RENTAL PAGINA) on forehand. At the GETTING THERE  (LINK NAAR PAGINA) page you’ll see routes into the city centre.

Ferry

From the North district of Amsterdam you need a ferry (‘pont’ in Dutch) to get over the water called ‘IJ’. The ferries are free of charge and go day and night. The most important one for you is the ferry across Central Train Station (901 – Buiksloterweg). It goes every 6 minutes daily and every 12 minutes all night. You can just wait for the next one to arrive but if you want, check timetables.

At the hip old shipyard area NDSM, where several real cool cafés and restaurants are based, there’s another ferry that leaves for Central Station and back approximately every 20 minutes. Check the specific timetables for this ferry (905 – NDSM).

TIP: The app called PONTVEER (Dutch) counts down the minutes you have left to get to your ferry of choice. It’s in Dutch but easy to understand.

Yes, we have lots of bikes available. You need to reserve them in advance, so we can have them ready at your location when you arrive. They cost € 10,- per bike per day.

Public city buses 34 and 35 (white and blue) and some more public red buses will get you to Central Station fast. You need a chip card: buy it in the bus or at GVB (communal public transport).

To the nearest bus stop:

Leaving the Warehouse, go left twice and head for the bigger street Papaverweg. Go right and walk towards the water on your right hand. Continue walking on the right side of the road. At the traffic lights, cross over to the left, where you see and pass a little church. Now you can see the right bus stop at the big street Kamperfoelieweg. The buses drive to the right. Almost all of them go to Central Station; check their sign on the front.

At CS you’ll find a network of trams, subways and buses to get around. Public transport planner 9292 also has an App (9292) for mobile that works great (if you know the street name you’re heading to).

Trams on the east side of CS tend to go past Dam Square, Rokin, Munt, Rembrandtplein, Waterlooplein. Trams on the west side of CS mostly go behind Dam Sq and go to Leidseplein etc.

Yes! Amsterdam is looking great from the canals. We have an open outboard motor-boat available for trips on the canals. (Only from April till October). It seats max. 8 to 10 people.

You can rent it with a driver:

Skipper: €20,- per hour +

Boat: € 20,- per hour. Minimum 3 hours.

Excluding petrol. That means: you get a full tank, you return it with a full tank

Without a driver, whole day (9 AM – 5 PM) € 120,- , ex petrol. Experience needed.

Please let us know if you’re interested. We can make the boat ready for you.
