Louvre, Amsterdam Hotels

I was in Amsterdam for a couple of concerts at the newly built Ziggo Dome and needed a base to stay for a couple of nights. I had the option of a hostel which would have been cheaper and more central but I much preferred to pay a little more for the comfort and privacy of my own room and private bathroom. The room was very small but comfortable and the hotel is situated right next door to a bus station and a Metro station which makes the place very easy to get to on arrival and it is very easy to get into the centre of Amsterdam using the superb public transport system. Just buy a GVB travel card(24/48 or 72 hours) at the train station and you can hop on buses, Metros (local trains) and trams all day long. If you are travelling alone or in a couple and prefer your own privacy then I would recommend staying here.

Perfect location, just a few street away from the centre of Amsterdam, close to Centraal Station and Damrak, a street full of souvenir shops and eateries. The staff were very welcoming and helpful, offered the use of a secure luggage room on arrival so we could freely explore the city without our heavy luggage, and on departure as our flight was later than the 12noon check out time. Rooms were a good size with complimentary tea, coffee and toiletries, daily change of towels. We were given a discount on breakfast due to pre-booking, but even paying full price was well worth the money. Breakfast buffet had plenty to choose from: cereal, fresh fruit, toast, eggs, croissants, ham, bread, fresh juice, tea and coffee. Would recommend to anyone staying in the centre of Amsterdam.

Hotel staff were friendly, room was clean, breakfast was good and had lots of choice. Tram ride to city center was easy.
