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.

A modern glass bathroom but very impractical and water sprayed through the door joins which made the marble floor dangerously slippery. Very disappointed that breakfast was not included in the price. Euro17.50 each for breakfast is outrageous so we walked 3 minutes across the road to a cafe for Euro3.00.

College Budget

Went here for four nights, got the rooms for like $80 a night. Small room one bedroom thats it nothing really. But perfect for college budget with a little extra to spend. A little noisy, but really was what I was looking for after coming from America, living in London for a couple months and a vacation.
