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
