citizenM Schiphol is nineteenth, scored only on what the airport's page says. Schiphol puts its 230 extra-large-bed rooms about five minutes on foot from the terminal, with a restaurant on site — and it's about 38.5 road miles from Cruise Terminal Rotterdam by our routing.
It ranks above the Sheraton only because our road figure is a few hundred metres shorter. Neither publishes enough to separate them.
Breakfast, parking and check-in times aren't on Schiphol's page, and we didn't read citizenM's own.
Book it for a late flight, then take the train south in the morning, not a taxi.
Book it if
- You land late and want a big bed
- You'll take the train south in the morning
- You want to stay landside
Look elsewhere if
- You want facts from the hotel's own pages.
- You need breakfast confirmed.
- You want to be near the ship tonight.
