Sightseeing tip: Long walk from hotel

Sure there are plenty of museums and shops but the best attractions can be found in any of the galleries, pastry and chocalate shops in many of the neightborhoods. So you get excercise and walk off a few calories you gain along the way. Looking at the homes along side the canals and people watching is great too!

Historic Hotel

Beautiful old hotel (14th Century Convent) that has been updated inside. Rooms are a bit small, but comfortable & clean. If you are thinking of walking from the train station, and you have heavy luggage or are not used to walking uphill on cobblestones, you may want to consider taking a taxi even though it is close by. We were glad we did.

A wonderful restaurant around the corner for dinner called Humphrey's. (Otherwise, not too great in the restaurant/cafe department. Don't go to the Argentina Steak House down the street. Terrible.)

Great hotel for the price

We spent 3 days in Amsterdam before departing on a river cruise. The hotel is centrally located. Beds are very comfortable. Staff very helpful. Included breakfast[...] was definitely a plus. Suggest asking for a room in the back because it is quieter.

Spent a pre Christmas weekend here with my wife. Great location; 7-10 minute walk from the train station and even closer to Dam Square. Tram stop in front of hotel. Clean rooms and friendly staff. Would stay here again.

Wonderful customer service and perfect location

We arrived at the hotel at 0900 after a two week river cruise. Even though check in time wasn't until 2pm they had rooms ready for us. We stayed in a King deluxe and it was large and clean. There was even a full size bathtub. The tub was slick with no vinyl mat to place in it but we used a bath towel on the bottom of the tub and that took care of that. The room was warm and the window was locked but a call to the desk had someone up right away to unlock it. The bar is a great place to wind down for a drink or a quick bite. Every one we came in contact with from the maid to the front desk were helpful and friendly. The location is perfect being just steps from Dom Square and Magna Plaza shopping area. We walked to most locations and took the bus right outside the front door to the farther museums. We will definitely stay there again should we return to Amsterdam.

Across the street and to the left is the Die Port Van Cleeve hotel that has a restaurant known for it's numbered steaks. For around 29 euros we each had a steak with salad,roll,fries and vegetables. The chef even threw in an appetizer. The steaks were perfect and the atmosphere relaxing.

Buy the I Amsterdam card when you arrive at the airport. This card allows unlimited use of the Tram system and free entrance to most of the attractions.

Get the "I Amsterdam" card. It was the best deal for traveling on Trams and buses. Nice discounts at most museums.
