We were in Amsterdam! We stayed there for 2 nights during a recent holiday. As accommodation wasn't exactly cheap in Amsterdam, we looked for a family room which could fit the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 teenagers) and settled on the Ibis Amsterdam Centraal. Ibis is a very well known European chain hotel. At this particular hotel, which is located right next to Amsterdam Centraal, they had Family Rooms which came with 2 bunk beds. So there would be sufficient proper bedding for the 4 of us, since sofa beds aren't as comfortable.
We arrived into Amsterdam after taking a Thalys train from Brussels. Due to the on-going industrial action, our train was actually cancelled but thankfully the station staff said we could board any other train on that day and indeed we could, though we didn't have an assigned seat. The train manager told us to sit at any available seat.
The Family Room at the Ibis was located on the 1st floor. This video shows you the room, and you get a good idea of what it offers. What was most unusual was that it looked out right onto the train track and platform! I playfully called it the Peekaboo Train Room. At first, we were worried that the noise from the tracks would be very loud, and hence disturbing our sleep. But it turned out that the sound proofing was pretty good and we could hardly hear the trains. I found the in-room heating/air-conditioner unit to be more noisy than the noise from the tracks.
