The DoubleTree is fourth, and its address does the work. Hilton puts it right beside Amsterdam Centraal, so the train from Schiphol ends about 0.3 miles from your room, and our walking route on to PTA is about 0.6 miles — roughly 12 minutes.
Breakfast is a paid buffet, which costs it ten points against Jakarta and the Hampton. Hilton doesn't print the price.
Covered parking is €45.00 (about US$50) a day with EV charging, a rate for your stay, not a cruise deal — Hilton doesn't mention leaving the car.
Book it if you're arriving by train and want the shortest walk from the platform, not if you're driving in.

- You want the station on one side and the ship a short walk on the other
- Your dog travels with you
Look elsewhere if
- You want breakfast included.
