Hotel City park Apartment V (Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Citypark Apartment Suites are modern and well-appointed living spaces which are maintained well and are clean and comfortable.

This apartment hotel is in a residential neighbourhood, yet it's quite close to lots of restaurants, bars and eclectic shops. You can walk to many of the city's most popular attractions from here and the tram is easily accessible, putting the rest of Amsterdam at your fingertips.

It's great that this apartment hotel does not allow smoking on property, inside or out. This is good news for those who don't imbibe and can't stand the acrid smell of stale, second-hand smoke.

Unfortunately, these apartments have a cave-like quality, especially when the sun isn't shining, making it a bit depressing and difficult to read. There are definitely not enough lamps and overhead lighting to be had.

Although the living space and kitchen are roomy, the bedrooms and bathrooms at Citypark Apartment Suites are on the small side, making it tough to manoeuvre. If you are travelling with your family or a large group, you might feel rather cramped.

Things can get hot and stuffy in these apartments, especially in the summer months, as this facility does not have air conditioning in the units. And because the street can get noisy at night, this might prohibit you from keeping your windows open which could make for a stuffy-night's sleep.
