citizenM Amstel Amsterdam is a modern and stylish 4-star hotel located in the heart of Amsterdam, not far from the famous Amstel River. It is part of the citizenM hotel chain, which is known for offering affordable luxury with a strong focus on smart design and technology. This particular hotel is housed in a historic building that blends old Amsterdam charm with sleek, contemporary interiors. It’s ideal for solo travellers, couples, and business guests looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of modern luxury.

The hotel has only one type of room – the citizenM room. All rooms are the same size, about 14 square metres. Each room can accommodate a maximum of two people. There are no larger rooms or family suites. The layout is compact but very cleverly designed, with everything you need for a short stay. The bed is an XL king-size bed that stretches wall to wall, offering lots of comfort. It’s perfect for two adults, but not suitable for extra beds or children.

Inside the room, you'll find smart lighting and temperature control, all operated by a touchscreen tablet or the citizenM app. You can also use the tablet to open and close the blinds, watch a wide range of free movies, and change the lighting mood. There’s a power shower in a stylish pod-style bathroom, a large flat-screen TV, blackout blinds, and superfast free Wi-Fi. Although there is no wardrobe, there is space under the bed to store your luggage and some small shelves for your essentials. Rooms do not have kettles, mini-fridges or irons, but these items can usually be requested or used in shared spaces in the hotel.

As for the hotel facilities, citizenM Amstel has a large open-plan living room-style space on the ground floor, which acts as a shared lounge, workspace, and social area. It’s filled with designer furniture, art books, and quirky decor. There’s also a 24/7 canteenM where guests can grab food, drinks, and snacks at any time of day or night. You can find everything from coffee and pastries in the morning to cocktails and light bites in the evening. The hotel does not have a full-service restaurant, room service, spa, or gym, but its lively atmosphere and high-quality shared spaces make up for that.

The location is excellent for exploring Amsterdam. The hotel is situated just a few minutes’ walk from the Weesperplein metro station, making it easy to travel around the city. It’s also close to popular attractions such as the Hermitage Museum, Artis Zoo, the Royal Theatre Carré, and the canals.
