A five-minute walk from Schiphol Airport's arrivals terminal, this outpost of the hip citizenM chain offers a design-oriented and tech-savvy environment with maximum travel convenience catering to flight-bound tourists and business travelers. The mid-range hotel features stylish common areas that include a business center with iMacs and a 24-hour canteen. 230 modern pod-like rooms utilize space efficiently with large, comfortable beds flanking floor-to-ceiling windows and the rest of the compact space presided over by two futuristic glass columns enclosing toilets and rainfall showers. Rooms are equipped with tablets that allow guests to control everything, including temperature and mood lighting, which is a neat feature for some, but a hassle for others. The snug spaces might be too small for more than one person or extended stays and technology gaps can lead to occasional problems.

Scene
Hip, tech-savvy hotel with contemporary mod aesthetic
Bright, stylish interiors of this hip chain property are a fun mix of contemporary design and retro touches, all illuminated by floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Schiphol Airport's runways. Common areas are doused in vibrant colors and chic, modern furnishings courtesy of Vitra, the renowned Swiss furniture company. There is plenty of seating throughout the vast, open-plan lobby where large bookshelves are filled with various reads and knickknacks and funky decor includes glass dividing panels etched with florid designs and cool lighting fixtures.
Location
Five-minute walk from Schiphol Airport Arrivals Hall 4
A well-lit walkway links the arrivals hall of Schiphol Airport with the hotel, and there is also a shuttle connecting the two. Besides the hotel's dining options, guests are limited to the airport's pricey culinary offerings as the property sits within the airport complex and there is nothing else within walking distance. Travel downtown is possible via public transportation: there is a Sprinter station a 10-minute walk from the hotel, and a single transfer to a city tram affords access to the center of Amsterdam in about 45 minutes. Amsterdam's business district is closer and the World Trade Center can be reached in 20 minutes via public transportation.
Rooms
Pod-like rooms with tablet-controlled features and glass tubes enclosing toilets and showers
These small, stark white rooms veer into spaceship territory with the compactness of their layouts: wall-to-wall XL King beds are wedged up against floor-to-ceiling windows with bedside tables and lamps built into the bed frames, with the remainder of the space taken up by two glass columns enclosing toilets and walk-in rainfall showers (which might pose privacy issues for some). Though amenities are sparse (no minibars or coffeemakers here), they are high quality: luxury Italian bed linens, bespoke designer bath products, and showers with alleged anti-jet lag properties. Rooms are entirely operated via a tablet by which guests can control the temperature, colored mood lighting, blackout blinds, and flat-screen TVs (with free movies), which is a nifty feature for some, but might be a hassle for others. There are no closets, though there are a few hooks on the wall and a large pullout drawer beneath the bed for luggage storage.
Features
Bar and 24-hour canteen, business area with iMacs and printer, and free Wi-Fi throughout
The hotel has a bar and a 24-hour canteen that offers a wide range of pre-prepared cold food displayed in large, self-serve fridge units alongside a range of bottled drinks. The business area near the lobby has several iMacs for guests' use, as well as a printer and laptop area with extra outlets. There is also a meeting space with a conference table and Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel.
