Hotel Details

On the Herengracht canal in a quiet residential area, a 10-minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station and most city attractions.

The location combines central accessibility with surprising tranquillity. The property is within 1 km of Central Station, a 9-minute walk from Anne Frank House, and 2 km from the Rembrandt House. Schiphol Airport is 16 km away. The surrounding streets are well-lit and safe, with many restaurants, bars, and bakeries within 0.3-0.5 km. The canal setting provides scenic walks and a peaceful base after exploring the city. Public transport, bikes, and ferries are easily accessible for trips further afield.

Accommodation

Two double rooms, each with a private bathroom, parquet floors, tea/coffee maker, and smart TV. The 'Double room with Canal view' overlooks the Herengracht.

Rooms are compact but cleverly designed, with high ceilings and large windows enhancing the sense of space. The canal-view room offers a prime outlook over the bustling waterway, while the other room provides a city view. Both include free WiFi, a small fridge, electric kettle, hairdryer, free toiletries, and a welcome chocolate or cookie. The bed is comfortable with soft pillows and smooth sheets.
