Anne Frank House is a 10-minute walk; Dam Square and Madame Tussauds are less than 15 minutes on foot. Leidseplein, with its entertainment and nightlife, is a 10-minute walk. Public transport is convenient: tram 2, 11, or 12 from Centraal Station to Prinsengracht stop (5-10 min walk), or bus 397 from Schiphol Airport to Elandsgracht (5 min walk). A taxi to the airport costs approximately €40. The immediate neighborhood offers numerous restaurants within 0.5 km, and walking is the best way to explore the city centre.

All rooms include a TV (except some small singles), private bathroom with shower (bathtubs available in select canal-view rooms upon request), and a hairdryer. Family rooms are on the quiet courtyard side; the suite offers canal views from the first floor. Quadruple rooms are on the third or fourth floor without canal views.
