Fodor's Expert Review
At this budget hotel in Amsterdam’s Museum District, etchings hang on the walls, much of the furniture is antique, and the Rijksmuseum looms just outside the windows.
You Should Know The hotel is on the top floors of the building, and guests must climb a narrow and very steep stairway to the reception desk and the rooms−the owner highly recommends traveling light.

Room
Functionally furnished with vintage pieces (not in a hip way, mind you) the small rooms look dated, but they come equipped with modern box-spring beds and free WiFi.
Bathroom
Most guest rooms have shared bathrooms with original Art Nouveau tiles on the same floor, while others have a private shower and toilet or simply a washbasin.
Lobby
Up some steep stairs, you’ll find a simple reception desk.
Dining
Free continental breakfast is served in the cozy breakfast room/lounge, which is filled with Delft blue tiles and antique collectibles.
Tip Breezed through your vacation read already? Exchange it for another book in the small library, where you’ll also find vintage board games.
Drinking
No bar. But there is coffee/tea in the library.
