The hotel has a free shuttle from the airport about every 30 minutes.
Asked for a room facing the airport. Got Room 221.
Anywhere from 201-225, odd numbers, gets the same view. This also applies to
the first floor as there are no trees. This room gives a view of landings on
Runways 22 &27, which were not frequent during my stay, and mainly smaller
types. There is a very limited view of the take-offs from 18, from my room. The
windows only open a small amount so any photos would be through glass. Also
outside the second floor windows is a metal beam, this is slightly higher than
the windows but may show in photos, so, first floor would be better. The hotel
is at 90 degrees to the airport itself, so no views across the main airport.
The back of the hotel has many trees so no view from back.
Opposite the hotel is the Schiphol Spottersplaats, adjacent to a McDonalds, an 8 minute walk. Good views across the airport and aircraft landing on the distant runways can be seen taxiing in. The McDonalds has seats with similar views. There is a bus station here also, Schiphol, Knooppunt Noord. The 397 goes to the airport in one direction and the city in the other about every 5 minutes. As I mentioned about the Budget Hotel is adjacent to the Schiphol Ibis Hotel with which it shares the shuttle bus. This hotel is facing towards the airport more so will have better views across the airfield. However the number of rooms with this view is limited and many will have no view at all. Can’t help with which rooms.
