Fodor's Review:

The historic setting for the founding of the Free University, this canal-side hotel's two buildings date from 1638 and are overlooked by the Westerkerk toren (Western Church tower). The guest rooms cultivate an aura of romance with marble fireplaces and chandeliers (although some also offer such modern conveniences as double whirlpool bathtubs). There's a beautifully carved mirrored bar in the bar/breakfast room area, and a charming garden cottage that serves as a bridal suite and enjoys its own sun lounge and terrace. The service at this family-run place often exceeds even its four-star status. Pros: wonderful salon, helpful staff. Cons: rooms are a bit of a letdown after the public areas, bathrooms need to be modernized.
