Hotels good for friends traveling together
There will be 4 women traveling together to Amesterdam in the spring. Ideally, we would get 2 rooms with 2 double beds each. However, we really don't want American brand hotels. Does anyone have a suggestion for good centrally located hotel in Amsterdam with rooms with 2 beds? We will be there for 8 nights. Not looking for budget but under 300euro would be preferable. Thanks.

you might try a boutique hotel on the Regulier Canal. Our favorite in Amsterdam, where over the years we've recommended it to several family members and Fodorites......<b>The Seven Bridges</b>. Very close to many of the city's sights...Rijks Museum is walking distance, for example.

Two double beds per room is not common in europe - usually it would be a room with 2 single beds. (We usually go for a king, if the hotel has a real one, but have seen a few 2 double bedded rooms in european style hotels - but not at that price point - only in 5*.)
For 2 double beds per room you are likely to need to go for a business type chain.
And is the 300 per room - not for both rooms?

I read it as OP wants two rooms, each with two double beds in it.
Unless you choose a chain hotel, and even then you may struggle, you will not find it easy to find rooms in Amsterdam with two double beds. You will find plenty with twins, but not two doubles.

I think some people just want a bigger bed. I can't remember the last time I slept in a twin-size bed myself, and if you are large, you really probably want a larger bed. I don't find that unusual at all to want, but not common to get in Europe. And the most likely place is a large, modern business chain hotel.
SO I think if that is what they want for comfort, they need to loosen the standards as to the type of hotel they are willing to book.
I don't understand the statement someone said that two people would not be allowed to book a room with two double beds because it is a family room. Hotels usually let you book whatever you are willing to pay for.

Sometimes it seems people <b>try</b> to misunderstand each other.
The OP never said she wanted four adults in one room.
No one said two people would not be allowed to book a room with two double beds.
But it does seem the question still got answered and to the OP, have a wonderful time.

I thought the OP's question was perfectly clkear, was planning to suggest an apartment but she has come to that conclusion on her own.
I stayed at the Renaissance two years ago, very near the train station. It is a chain but doesn't feel ike a chain. Large rooms woth two double beds, grea

...great for four women, we had adjacent rooms. An apartments is a beter solution, we were only there for four days.
