Zenstay Hotel Amsterdam - Zaandam

What a fantastic find in Zaandam — we couldn't have been happier with our stay. The hotel is surrounded by excellent options for dinner and drinks, with a wonderful atmosphere that makes it a pleasure just to step outside. A lively shopping street is just a few meters away, and the train station — with easy connections to Amsterdam and other beautiful nearby cities — is conveniently close, making it the perfect base for exploring the region. We were also lucky enough to enjoy the hotel freshly renovated, and it showed in every detail. Everything felt crisp, clean, and thoughtfully put together. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. And here's something we didn't expect to appreciate as much as we did: the peace of mind that came with staying in Zaandam rather than Amsterdam. As charming as Amsterdam is, it can get overwhelmingly chaotic — so coming back each evening to the calm and ease of Zaandam felt like a genuine relief. All the access, none of the stress. Highly recommended — don't overlook Zaandam as a base for your Dutch adventure.

I think, this is one of my favorite hotels now. It is located in a renovated historic building right in the center. Self-check-in was very easy and worked great. I did arrive a bit early, but was assisted with the room that was ready at that point. Room was very clean and comfortable. Various teas a thoughtful touch. Just be mindful, that the building is elevator-free, and the staircase ilmight be a challenge, if you packed a large suitcase.

This hotel was a really great and amazing stay. The room was clean and very modern with all the amenities you could need plus some extra luxuries such as a bottle of Prosecco! The staff were there to ensure we had a smooth check in and were really friendly and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again and the hotel is very close to many restaurants and bars so it is a nice and lively area, perfect for people travelling and looking for a good time!

Clean and easy to find and arrive at from the train station. Convenient for Amsterdam and surrounding area. Code entry worked well after a first initial attempt (remember the #!). Quiet despite being around the corner from a busy area with bars and restaurants. Nearby shops seem to close around 5-6pm, so that area is quieter in the evening and not so good if you are away during the day and want to look around d early evening.
