Breakfast was in the restaurant downstairs, but I heard staff tell someone (with a dog) that breakfast would resume in the lounge next week. I guess they can bring the dog to the lounge but not the restaurant (drawing my own conclusion from what I overheard). Nice selection of snacks and wine/drinks in the lounge, but smoky.

There also is a small gym with a sauna that we used, accessed by your key card. You can also smell smoke in the gym because that floor is filled with meeting rooms that allow smoking.

Taking the train to central Amsterdam was easy once you found out where to buy the tickets and catch the trains. The Hilton is an easy walk from the airport, and someone will surely be glad to point the way. The hotel doesn't have the atmosphere of a leisure hotel so if I were going to Amsterdam purely for leisure I wouldn't want to be in this location.
