- Connexxion Schiphol Hotel Shuttle - the most direct, convenient, and affordable transportation from Schiphol Airport to hotels in Amsterdam that do not provide a free courtesy bus.
- Public Buses - but they can be confusing, as routes are identified in Dutch and transfers may be necessary.
- Trains - if no free luggage trolley is available, you may have to shlep your bags around Schiphol Airport to get to the platform.
- Taxis and private cars - fast, if you're willing to spend around 60 Euros.
These small, comfortable, air-conditioned, eight-passenger vans carry travelers between Schiphol Airport and any of more than 100 hotels in Amsterdam. They run every ten minutes between 6 am and 9 pm and wait outside arrivals Hall 2, between platforms A7 to A13.
To board a Connexxion Hotel Shuttle, first buy a ticket at the Connexxion desk or a Tourist Information Office inside Schiphol Airport (credit cards accepted). You can also pick up an I amsterdam Card, good for public transportation within the city and free and discounted admissions, at the tourist desk at the same time. Note: The I amsterdam Card does not cover the Connexxion Shuttle.
Notify the Connexxion bus driver which hotel you want to go to, allow him to place your luggage in the back of the van, board the vehicle, and relax.
