This. Earlier this month I got into AMS around 8:30ish and it took 2 hours to get access to a shower, and with a 3 hour layover, it was too late. A week later, got there around 7:15 and the wait was a little over an hour. Going forward, if I'm on an itinerary where I'll want to take a shower, I'll ideally plan for a layover of at least 4 hours.
