Riverside rooms

The relaxed and welcoming 4-star Golden Tulip Amsterdam Riverside is located in the attractive Zuidoost (“south-east”) quarter of Amsterdam, a residential neighbourhood that also contains some of the city’s modern entertainment and shopping complexes.

The hotel offers river views from the terrace and the bar. Guest rooms all have free WiFi, flat screen TV and private bathrooms with free toiletries and a hair dryer.

Exploring the city is easy, with the Gaasperplas Metro station just 12 minutes walk away. The hotel is also handy for the Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam ArenA and Ziggo Dome.

Amsterdam attractions

Visitors to Amsterdam are never going to be short of entertainment. From gazing at the Rembrandts in the Rijksmuseum to goggling at the sights in the Red Light District, there is a well-worn traditional tourist trail.

To get a sense of the city’s true character though, a wander along the canals and cool alternative shops in the Jordaan, or a stroll through the Vondelpark reveal the more reticent charms of Amsterdam.

The city’s markets are also a great option to shop for everything from antiques to hand-made clothing and jewellery. The Waterlooplein market in particular is a great option for unearthing bargains.

Guest reviews

The Golden Tulip Amsterdam Riverside has picked up plenty of positive feedback on TripAdvisor. Recent contributions include the following, edited for length.

‘The property is very conveniently located one stop away from Sloterdijk station. The Tram station is right outside the hotel so travelling to and from the city centre was really easy.’

‘The room was very pretty and spacious where I slept like a baby in that super comfy bed. The toiletries were nice too. The facilities were good and the staff were always helpful and friendly.’

Exciting getaway

Amsterdam’s magic starts with the canals and extends to the people and the atmosphere. Whatever your idea of an entertaining break might be, you won’t be disappointed in the Dutch city.

This Big Deal break would make a perfect romantic getaway strolling the canal paths, or a cultured escape, wandering the galleries and museums of this cosmopolitan city.
