Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Asterisk

Den Texstraat 16, Amsterdam, North Holland, 1017 ZA, Netherlands

A touch of the 19th century still hovers about this family hotel, which is located on a quiet street in Centrum, but its recent refurbishment means that everything looks spick-and-span. Clean and contemporary guest rooms are split between singles and twins, decorated in a color scheme inspired by the large reproductions of famous artworks on the walls---most of which can be viewed in the nearby Museum District. There’s a lovely lounge area to relax in, with comfy chairs, molded ceilings, and chandeliers.

PROS

  • charming environment, with a small private garden
  • very good value
  • quiet central location, close to everything

CONS

  • no on-site bar
  • only the main building has an elevator, while other rooms are located up steep stairs
  • walls are thin, so you might hear your neighbors if they're rowdy
