Why We Like It
Convenient and no-nonsense, this well-known budget choice has one great thing going for it: low rates.
Fodor's Expert Review
Convenient, no-nonsense, and with few amenities (an elevator, though tiny, as well as free Wi-Fi, and free breakfast), this well-known budget choice has one great thing going for it: low rates.
Tip If you’re coming from Schiphol International Airport, take bus 197, which takes you almost all the way to the hotel for only €5.00 (get off at the Leidseplein stop).

Room
As you’d expect, rooms are small and the décor’s dated and (some say) a little musty smelling, but they’re clean enough and hopefully, you’re just here to lay down your head.
You Should Know Some rooms don’t seem to be all that well isolated, so noises from surrounding rooms may seep in.
Bathroom
Double rooms without private bathroom start at less than 100 euros, while those with an attached bathroom are slightly more.
You Should Know Some in-room bathrooms don’t allow for much modesty.
Lobby
There’s a reception with fresh flowers (and sometimes surly staff).
Dining
A Continental buffet breakfast (included) is served in a small breakfast room.
Drinking
No, but there are plenty of options in the area.
What's Nearby
Getting Around
Located in a quiet, residential neighborhood near Vondelpark, this hotel offers good access to Leidseplein and the west side on foot. Tram access is available at nearby Stadhouderskade.
Restaurants
Sustainable seafood specialist The Seafood Bar (9-minute walk) offers smoked fish varieties from Volendam, delicately-battered fish and chips, four varieties of oyster and extravagant platters of fruits de mer. But if all you crave is something cheap and cheerful, get your baked potato kick at Jacketz (10-minute walk). Foodhallen (12-minute walk), Amsterdam’s lively indoor food court, provides plenty of choice for even the pickiest of eaters with over 20 food stands.
Bars
Popular café Gollem’s Proeflokaal, a dark and cozy Belgian beer café with more than 180 bottled brews and 22 on tap, is only a 7-minute walk away. Bar Oldenhof (10-minute walk) in the nearby Jordaan offers a wide range of whiskeys and reasonably-priced cocktails (by Amsterdam standards, that is) in a bar with a nouveau gentlemen’s club vibe.
