It opens next month, and is right next to the Amsterdam Zuid train/metro station (7 min to Schiphol; 15 min to Centraal Station). You can also take a street tram through most of the key visitor zones. The hotel rates vary depending on how far in advance you book, but I got a double for Euro 49 for a night in July. Compact, but looks very modern and comfortable.
