Night-Before Score
The verdict

Room Mate Aitana is ninth, and the reason is geography. It's on IJdok, west of Centraal, which puts the station between you and the ship — our walking route to PTA is about 1.3 miles, roughly 28 minutes, the longest in our city list.

Breakfast runs until noon and comes with some rates, not all, per Room Mate. That's why it scores nothing there, though a late breakfast is a gift on a fly-in day.

There's no car park of its own. Room Mate sends drivers to the public Interparking IJdok in the same street, without printing the rate.

Book it if your dog travels with you or you want a bar on the water. Take a taxi to the ship, about 1.4 road miles.

Book it if

  • Your dog travels with you
  • You like a late breakfast
  • You want a bar and a terrace on the water

Look elsewhere if

  • You want the shortest walk to the ship.
  • You need parking at the hotel.
  • You want breakfast in every rate.
