- Area description
- The magnificently renovated Apollo Museum Hotel Amsterdam City Centre is located right where the fashionable P.C. Hooftstraat meets the atmospheric Stadhouderskade. It would be hard to find a more central spot to stay in Amsterdam! The hotel does not have an own parking lot, the nearest places to park are Byzantium and Museumsquare. For users of the public transport, use tram 2 or 5 to stop Hobbemastraat.

Good location, good service, small room
The hotel location is very convenient for visiting museums, bus tours, canal tours and access to transportation and restaurants. The hotel breakfast was very good and the hotel staff was very helpful. The only negative was the room size.

Good hotel. Good location.
Good clean rooms. Although rooms are small they are typical European size. Good breakfast even though it was extra.

Close to every thing!
Your typical compact european hotel room, but after a day in Ansterdam, a clean bed to lay on is all what matters. Good location, close to every thing. Very freindly staff, I was greeted by my name throught my 5-day stay. Decent breakfast buffet, but no in room amenities (coffee, fridge, ..). Enjoyed the free WiFi. 30-50 euro if plan to park your car in the area. Remote Park+Ride is the best deal.

Good value for the money
A good experience, except for a noisy neighbor who fell asleep and left his TV on loud throughout the night twice. The situation was handled promptly, however, when I complained at the front desk.

Small rooms, but fast friendly service!
The room was clean but small. We are not the types to stay in our room during vacation so this did not matter. The staff was friendly and very knowledgable, always willing to help. Walking distance to the Rijkmuseum, "I AMsterdam" sculpture, Van Gogh museum, Leidsplein, Rembrandtplien (PARTY/DANCE!!!!), the Blue Boat Canal Cruise, Tram 1,2,5 & blk away, P.C. Hoofstraat shopping and much more. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who does not go on vacation to spend time in their room. The price can not be beat for the location. One piece of advice skip the hotel breakfast and find a local place to eat.

Great place to stay
This hotel was great it was recommended by a friend. Lots of things close by to do Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh were very close. Everything in the city was walkable I didn't use the trams or buses except to get to the airport. The walk from the bus for the airport was only a few blocks away. I had a single twin bed room with a bathroom attached. The room was small but perfect for just myself. The bathroom was very nice, everything seemed very clean. The hotel staff was pretty nice. I would definitely stay here again and will recommend it.

Convnient hotel
Went for fun. Enjoyed the stay at the hotel. The room was small, but enough if it is just for sleeping. Near the Tram 2 or 5 that connects to Amsterdam Centeral Station, along Tram 2 and 5 are the major museaums and attractions that Amsterdam offers (Palace Dam, history museum, flower market etc). From the hotel, less then 3min walk to the tram, 5min walk to Van Gogh Museum, 1min walk to the Naional Art Museum. The hotel is just on the brand shopping street. It was safe and convinient to get to a lot of places around.
