 We were extremely disappointed with the 17th floor bar restaurant Not in terms of the quality of food and drink but because we were turned away on 2 occasions The bar was quite busy and we were told that we couldn t just go in and have drinks at the bar Even after informing the rather abrupt member of staff that we were hotel guests she told us that it didn t matter we still couldn t get in I specifically booked this hotel because of the roof terrace and 17th floor facilities I wanted to enjoy the fabulous views over Amsterdam and be able to smoke on the 18th floor terrace I m afraid what was otherwise a lovely experience at Ramada Apollo was very much spoiled by our experiences on the 17th floor I ve never stayed in any hotel before where guests could not use the bar restaurant facilities no matter how busy they were I d be very reluctant to stay again despite all other aspects of the hotel being very good 
 Good location only 10 15 mins by tram from Dam Square etc Tram stops outside hotel and at 12 50 for a 48hr tram ticket we were happy with the location and ease of travel into the city centre Rooms were clean and bright and the shower room was spacious bright and clean also Hotel reception is big open and has plenty of places to sit Reception staff were efficient and helpful at all times The minibus to and from airport was great value at 5 pp per trip much cheaper and quicker than a bus or taxi
