Hotel + Free Laundry in Amsterdam

The Marriott in Leidseplein looks like a large cement block, not much character but I liked it. I loved the location, the service, the free laundry, the beds, the pillows and the spacious room. Hotel rooms in Europe are usually a joke in terms of space and value but this one was comfortable. We didn’t have a view but it was fine because it was quiet. The staff was also nice and we were able to check in early a little before noon, which is about when we made it to the hotel. Did I mention the free laundry? Free laundry just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Now travelling with kids, access to laundry makes a hotel an automatic 5 star accommodation for me. (August 2009)
