Are you planning a move to Amsterdam? Or perhaps coming to the city for a long business trip? With incredible amenities, modern design, and excellent long-stay rates, the Aparthotel Adagio Amsterdam City South is the best choice for you.
If you’re at all familiar with the housing market in Amsterdam, you may also be aware of the challenges that go along with house hunting and moving houses in this city.
Due to new laws, many landlords and investors are selling their properties, making rental apartments harder and harder to find. As a result, the process can take much longer than you might anticipate.
So, why not save yourself some stress during the transition period and settle into a nice comfy place in the meantime?
If you want lots of space, all the comfort, a great location, and a fabulous price, then Aparthotel Adagio is the place for you.
We got together with the lovely folks of Adagio to bring you the top five reasons why the Aparthotel Adagio – Amsterdam City South is an excellent choice for expats — whether they’re new to Amsterdam or just moving within the city.
Stunning, modern apartments
Aparthotel Adagio offers 151 spacious, contemporary apartments in a range of sizes. Whether you’re travelling solo or with your family, they’ve got a fully-serviced apartment for you to settle into and relax in style.
For the individual or couple, you can kick up your feet in a cosy standard-size studio or stretch out in a roomy junior one-bed apartment — which includes a full kitchen and bar counter.
One-bedroom apartments provide even more space, and the two bedrooms are expansive enough to settle in with your family of four. Aparthotel Adagio even offers a whopping 123-square metre two-bedroom apartment that includes a bathtub and a breathtaking terrace.
You can whip up a home-cooked meal, crack open a bottle from your own wine fridge, and enjoy a spectacular view.
Convenient location
Located in Amstelveen, just a quick tram ride from Amsterdam’s city centre, the hotel’s lovely, quiet neighbourhood is easily accessible. It’s a peaceful area for walking and cycling, and groceries are just a five-minute walk away.
Need a break from the concrete jungle? No problem, Aparthotel Adagio is close to the largest city park in Europe, the Amsterdamse Bos, as well as the beautiful Amstel Park.
The location is particularly handy for business travellers, only four tram stops away from the nearby business district (Zuid). From Amsterdam Zuid Station, Schiphol Airport is only 10 minutes by train.
Adagio will even arrange a pick-up service from Schiphol Airport to and from the hotel.

To get to the city centre, it’s an easy 25-minute tram ride, while popular attractions like the Rijksmuseum are even reachable by bike.
All the amenities
Anyone seeking out a long-stay property will agree that one of the most important things is comfort.
Well, get this: The name of Aparthotel Adagio actually comes from the Italian expression “ad agio” — which translates to “at ease”. And that’s how these stunning serviced apartments will have you feeling!
Each room includes all the amenities you’d expect and more. You’ll have a fully equipped kitchen, along with the comforts of a high-quality mattress, separate living area, bedroom, bathroom, and private toilet.
The apartments also include air conditioning, a smart TV, and complimentary WiFi. In higher-end rooms, you’ll even have the luxury of a rain shower and double sink.
To top it all off, guests also have access to fitness facilities, laundry, luggage storage, and weekly housekeeping (all huge perks for a long stay!).
For mornings when you don’t feel like cooking, enjoy the hotel’s delicious continental breakfast buffet. After work, grab a drink or a snack at The Circle, the hotel’s communal lounge and bar.
Last but not least, drivers take note: Adagio offers a very special bonus that anyone who has searched for parking in Amsterdam will understand the beauty of — private parking.
Competitive rates
Along with the extensive selection of rooms and endless amenities, you’ll find competitive monthly pricing. You don’t have to be Dutch to appreciate a good korting, and long-stays benefit from a discount of up to 40% off regular rates.
For a month-long stay, apartments start from €99 per night, with a minimum stay of 28 nights.
Another highlight of a long hotel stay during a transitional period is that, unlike a regular apartment, you won’t have to worry about the cost of extra bills for things like gas, electricity, internet, and water — it’s all included in the rates.
Oh, and because it is located at the border of the city, your city tax will be significantly lower! All in all, when compared to other long-stay hotels, Adagio offers you the most bang for your buck: more space, more luxury, more comfort.
Plenty of flexibility
Aparthotel Adagio can easily accommodate your needs and wishes. From rooms that are just the right fit to flexible bookings and cancellations, they’ve got you covered so you can focus on the more important things (like work or that laborious house hunt).
If you opt for a long stay, you’ll even be able to use the address to register with the municipality for your BSN.

Plus, while we may be raving about Adagio’s long-stay options, unlike many Aparthotels, there’s no minimum length of stay — apartments can be booked for as little as one night up to a year or even longer.
For another added bonus, Aparthotel Adagio is a part of the Accor Hotel Organisation. Guests can earn points to use for future holiday bookings within Accor (which has locations all around the world!).
