The Student Hotel Shuttles

On the southeast side of Amsterdam rests The Student Hotel, home to beautiful 4-star delights as well as enough distance from downtown to enjoy the quietude of the outskirts as much as iconic central landmarks. Boutique rooms are one-of-a-kind, with some including fun neon signs and colorful decor, and specialty suites adding disco-style living areas as well as multi-level hangout spaces. On-site treasures are also available and include complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the facility, an inventive cinema-themed restaurant and a large playroom that includes several game tables. Nearby transportation makes transfers to Schiphol Airport easy as well, from the Wibautstraat Subway Station down the street to the slightly further Beukenweg Light Rail Station to the east. Take things a bit slower by booking a ride all to yourself, choosing between the placidity of small sedans and large vans, in addition to meet-and-greet services that include fast taxi cabs and informative local personal drivers.

Having fun with what’s close to the hotel is especially easy if you’ve got nothing but time, whether you’re interested in exploring the relaxed bike paths and historic sculptures of Oosterpark Amsterdam the moment you wake up or want to uncover the many eastern delights of Tropenmuseum that include various ancient Buddha statues and African handicrafts within a triumphant interior. Head south for something even quieter, getting to know the outskirts of downtown via Frankendael Park’s several acres of paths that wind through old buildings from the 17th century as well as in-park eats that include terrace breezes from De Las and incredible garden views at Merkelbach Restaurant. Evening entertainment is also in no shortage, something that can easily be explored through the nearby Royal Theater Carré, famous for its rotunda seating and old plays, while downtown’s De Kleine Komedie provides a mix of cabaret and stand up along the scenic Amstel Canal.
