Quiet Jordaan hotel/apartment?
 
My wife and I are planning to visit Amsterdam for the first time in October. Have been reading a lot about the Jordaan area. Any help on ideas for a quiet three-star hotel or private apartment rental would be appreciated.

Hiya Ben -<BR><BR>A helpful resource I found for a recent trip is<BR><BR>http://www.amsterdamhotspots.nl/sleepexpensive.html<BR><BR>(the price ranges are along the top). Great maps and reviews too.<BR><BR>Be sure to get a canal view! Good luck finding the perfect place = )

These are both in the Jordaan:<BR>Try www.barrangay.nl for a very small and elegant-looking B&B. For an apartment, try the 'Lieve Nachten':<BR>www.book-a-hotel-in-amsterdam.com/en/hotel/hotels/lievenachten/index.html<BR>The first part of that website will give you lots of other options.

<BR>I recommend the Maes Bed and Breakfast on Herenstraat.

We stayed at the Canal House Hotel (www.canalhouse.nl) in the Jordaan area last August. It was either 3 or 4 stars. Our room was lovely and we had a great canal view. We would definitely stay there again. <BR><BR>We found it very quiet. The general neighborhood is the most picturesque area of Amsterdam that we saw. It's very close to the restaurants and the Anne Frank House.

Hi There<BR><BR>Also try the Hotel Acacia on the Lijnbaansgracht in the Northwestern part of the Jordaan, near the Westerstraat. Rumour has it that they not only have rooms to rent, but also canal boats! Fun! Website http://hotelacacia.nl/home_eng.htm<BR>
