I would concur with swg. Over the last 4 years I have been in an out of Amsterdam a lot. You just cannot beat the location. Within walking distance to everything. And best of all a short walk to Centraal Train Station even wheeling bags. About a 1/4 mile. If you are flying into AMS catch the train to Centraal. Save your money for Food!


You are on the fringe of the Red Light district, but it is very quiet neighborhood - Close to the Jordaan. Really hard to beat for location, quality, and using as a base.

I was even lucky enough to get stuck there for an extra 5 days a few years back with the Icelandic Volcano.

Below are a couple of my favorite restaurants - both are very good, good wine selection, and a short walk from the hotel. WALKING AT NIGHT IS SAFE - WATCH OUT FOR BIKES! They have the right away.
