The reason Hampton and Element were selected is because we are using hotel points, however, we are open to suggestions. Thank you.

I would go with the Hampton because you are close to the (#7 ) tram, and it's a pretty ride through the neighborhoods and past the Artis - - you'll still have to transfer to get to Rembrandtsplein or the Dam and beyond, though it will be easy and pleasant. If you stay at the Element it's a longer walk to a tram with a long, uninteresting trek into town, and it's a tedious landscape down there south of the Zuid station.

I would do the Hampton. Because it is so near Borneo Island too. That's a very nice area that a lot of people overlook because they are focused on the city centre. By the way, that's the #26 tram that gets you to Amsterdam CS in 20 minutes. If you go past your stop to the #26 terminus, you'll be at KNSM Eiland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KNSM_Island. Such a great area to have dinner, or go for drinks, well known to Amsterdammers but not so much to tourists. KNSM Eiland also has a good ferry to North where you'll dock at Zamenhoffstraat and Hotel De Goud Fazant, which I would advise you to book for dinner one night.

Element is at Gelderlandplein, heart of Jewish Amsterdam (I used to be a bookseller at Joachimsthal, which had its shop there). Almost the entire jewish infrastructure of Amsterdam is located around AJ Ernststraat. Good dining opportunities though, because you're close to the Zuidas financial district. A few very good Japanese restaurants: Buitenveldert and Amstelveen also have a large Japanese community.
