Hotels Near Schiphol Airport

· Updated · BootsnAll

As major an airport in Europe as Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport is, you’d think it would be so enormous that it would require being set far away from the city center. In reality, it takes only about 15 minutes by train to get from Centraal Station to Schiphol (or vice versa), so you may not necessarily need an airport hotel at Schiphol if you’d rather just stay in the city.

If your arrival is late enough or your departure early enough that you don’t want to deal with a train trip in or out of the city, however, staying at a hotel that’s even closer to the terminal (and therefore a cheaper cab ride away) is definitely an option.

Below are a few hotels that are closer to the airport than to the city center, with a brief description of each.
