dogs4fun Posted March 26, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Yes - we have. Our all time favorites are boutique options and are both located on canals. Hotel Estherea - central location, great breakfast, singel canal. Seven one Seven - converted old canal mansion, great location on Prinsengracht, good breakfast, our room overlooked the canal. We have also stayed at the Movenpick & Pulitzer - liked them too. Edited March 26, 2019 by dogs4fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princeton123211 Posted March 26, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Really enjoyed the W that was right across the street from the Royal Palace. Location was very convenient to walk most places and close enough to the Centraal Station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebr.cruiser Posted May 21, 2019 #8 Share Posted May 21, 2019 It's not in the city center, but so easy to get to on the Metro (station is almost right outside the hotel). We just stayed at The Student hotel--the one on Wilburstraut. Very young, chic and hip--which we are not--but for all ages. Great room, although small, seems brand new, lots of amenities. Price was $132 plus taxes. I doubt if it took 10 minutes from the Central Station, and less than that to some other city center stops. We bought IAmsterdam cards which allowed unlimited rides on subway, buses and trams and one canal ride and admission to almost all attractions as well. Next time I might get the one that also allows train travel and travel outside the city. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I may suggest use of the railway system to travel to a few towns (I am sure I forget a few)?: to Haarlem, Alkmaar, Leiden, The Hague (Den Haag (!) ), Delft, Dordrecht, Gouda, Rotterdam (!), Utrecht, Middelburg (!), Breda, 's Hertogenbosch, Maastricht (!), Arnhem, and nearby in Belgium: Antwerp. etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time check the ARRT card which covers some areas outside Amsterdam. https://www.iamsterdam.com/en/plan-your-trip/getting-around/public-transport/amsterdam-region-travel-ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only had 2.5 days there anyway, and probably saw as much as we could in that limited time. I would have enjoyed getting out into the countryside more, but time just was against us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4cordelia Posted May 23, 2019 #13 Share Posted May 23, 2019 We've stayed at the Marriott in the Red Light District and Museum District. Both were located near trams to get us everywhere we wanted to go. Red Light District is "not scary". Mom and I walked the streets at night and never felt unsafe! Side Note: Book a tour with DamTours Free Walking Tours. Local guides, visit areas off the beaten tourists path, tip at the end of your tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djh1959 Posted June 2, 2019 #15 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Just like Ine above, we stayed at Banks Mansion and loved it. So much so that when we return in October, we will stay there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchhorn Posted June 2, 2019 #16 Share Posted June 2, 2019 We recently spent a week at the Kimpton DeWitt and loved it. Excellent hotel and very close to Centraal Station. Trams right in front and very walkable location too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
