This hotel consists of mostly shared hostel type rooms, and maybe private rooms as well, but the Via Suites building where we stayed was nice private suites with nice bathrooms in the suite. Bed was comfortable and our daughter slept on a jack knife sofa bed that was made up for her. That wasn’t as comfy, but okay for a child. There was a bar which had a descent selection of appetizers and meals like you would get in an American bar and grill. We didn’t pay for the breakfast but we did have dinner there one evening since it was raining and we didn’t want to go out.
There are two M53 metro stops, each about a 10 min walk away that go to central Amsterdam frequently in about 30 min. The metro is very easy to navigate and only has 4 lines. You can tap a credit card or cell phone with Apple/Google Pay to use as you Metro ticket. As of early June 2026, with an exchange rate of 1.16 USD to the Euro the max daily rate for using the Metro was about $9.46USD. Once you hit the max usage, you aren’t charged any more. Kind of nice that you don’t have to decide what type of ticket to purchase. So if you are looking for a nice place that’s more cost effective than central Amsterdam and don’t mind a 30 min Metro ride to get into the city center, Via Suites is a good option.
