Check-in Hotel Casa, Amsterdam

dari Schipol Airport, Amsterdam, kami naik uber utk ke hotel, perjalanan lebih kurang 30 minit jer, jarak pun tak jauh (tapi tambang of course lah tak murah sbb dlm currency euro kan, MZ pulak gi amik uber XL sbb takut tak muat our 2 big luggages kalau amik uber biasa)

Why this hotel? University of Amsterdam yg pilih hotel ni, so uni bayar (sponsored) for 3 nite stay and MZ top up bayar utk another 2 nite stay...convert to RM, one nite stay here costs me RM800+, so MZ byr RM1745.26 from my own pocket utk this accommodation. rating-wise, hotel ni 3 star hotel.

standard room jer ni...nice and cozy for 2 pax..katil king size

toilet pun ok jer, tak de bathtub lah, tapi ada shower. ada hair dryer jugak. of courselah toilet kering dan tak de bidet (MZ bwk portable/collapsible gayung dari Msia hahhhaah)

ada coffee maker (kami tak minum kopi) dan jug kettle. bilik ni tak de iron, tapi ada jer public iron kat certain levels, MZ memang dh bwk my travel iron siap2. bilik MZ no 245 ie tingkat 2. anyway, near the lift, ada jugak provide microwave, tapi MZ tak guna pun sbb malas nak angkut mknn if nak guna microwave tu. tak de bottled water so kena amik air kat water dispenser kat luar (kami survive minum mineral water dan masak air jer guna jug kettle tu)

beria MZ susun2 RTE kat rak tu hahaah..tak abih pun mkn semua yg dibawa sbb mr hubby fussy eater, jenis tak suka mkn RTE. 

view dari tingkap bilik kami..style kat sini, housekeeping nya kena request via online kalau kita nak suruh dtg kemas bilik/tukar towel etc..sempatlah MZ request sekali jer, and ada sekali tu, dia dtg kemas jugak wpun tak request. so total 2x jer housekeeping sepanjang 5 nite stay here.

breakfast buffet style...menu yg sama jer setiap hari...ada pancake, scrabble egg, hashbrown, fruits. ada jugak roti2, croissant etc

wefie

ni kat area lobby/lounge/reception. luas jer lobby ni

main entrance jenis pintu pusing2 gini

view kat luar hotel

Amsterdam ialah bandar basikal ie penuh basikal merata2 (ala2  motorsikal kat msia)

wefie dlm lif...biasanya wefie ber5 kalau dlm lif ie setiap kali holiday/staycation kat mana2 with our 3 boys

MZ obessed sgt tgk keta kecik2 gini..merata2 dlm Amsterdam city...ala2 ride on tapi keta betul la...muat sorang jer! EV car :) ada saiz besar sikit, muat 2 org

pagi2 1st day tu, kami jalan kaki utk pergi ke Metro Station yg terdekat, nama station tu Amstel, 10 min jer jln kaki...nice weather so best la enjoy the view. Metro tu mcm LRT kat msia...selain metro, ada train jugak sebelah menyebelah, dan ada tram jugak (atas jln raya)

ni tram! sempat jugak kami naik tram masa last day kat Amsterdam 

burung ni ada merata2 esp kat metro station..sbb Amsterdam kan sgt byk canals, so sesuai lah utk burung2 ni

Amstel Station (kebetulan public holiday lah kat sana masa 4/5 tu so org tak ramai)

my travel partner..syukur mr hubby dpt amik cuti utk temankan MZ

geram tgk tulips ni..ni kat kedai2 kecil dlm Amstel Station

harga  3.5 euro (dlm RM15)...cuma tak praktikal if nak bwk balik msia...so mampu tgk jer

ronda2 dlm kedai...ni antara benda yg rare sgt....isi kelapa as snacking! tak beli, just snap pic jer

baby carrots, tak rare cuma teringat kat zharfan sbb dia suka sgt mkn baby carrot zmn dia sek rendah kat nottingham sbb sek memang ajar student mkn benda ni as healthy snacking

kami beli mineral water ni...yg ni rege ok lagi..sbb bila convert jd around RM12 sebotol (actually tak leh convert bila holiday kat europe ni)...masa beli air ni kat airport ie masa last day nak balik msia dah..bila convert, air ni jadi RM17 sebotol ....gitulah rege nya

RM12 yer lps convert

sajer survey2 fridge magnet...tak beli pun kat kedai ni..sajer tgk2...average rege memang 5 euro onwards..if convert dekat2 RM25 jugaklah seketul

burung ni dlm metro station..ada piano lah kat sini as part of deco2

ok now MZ tepek gambar dari HP mr hubby plak
gambar MZ posing2 la hahahah syukur sbb ada mr hubby yg tukang jd photoG utk MZ ;)

ni posing dgn tram :p beria sgt! emm tak perasan ada sampah kertas kat kaki MZ :p Amsterdam tak sebersih tokyo yer..tp bersih lah dari msia ;)

ni dlm Amstel Metro Station...lawa kan painting/mural kat dinding tu

ni posing kat dpn hotel...nampak kan perkataan CASA tu..memang huruf dia gitu

ni pun depan hotel..suhu masa ni around 11 C (waktu pagi)..tema tudung, jacket dan kasut pink...ni kira Day 1 lah kat sana ie 4hb may 2026 monday (sbb 3rd may tu kami sampai sini dh almost midnite)

ni kat dlm hotel ie lps siap breakfast..kat level one (bkn ground floor)

another pose..actually hotel ni..part of it is used as student accommodation (mcm hostel tp private gitu) so byklah tempat utk students lepak2 study buat assignment etc

ok next entry - kami pergi Zandaam!
