Nicolaas Witsen - Amsterdam, Netherlands 

After reading the previous reviews, we were pretty confident about staying here. You should be too.... Location... It is in a really good spot...on the right side of Dam Square. It's on a quiet but safe street. The trams are very near and very regular. we used to get the 16 or 25 (i think) from the other side of Dam at times when we were too tired, but it can be walked easily . It was about a 5/ 10 minute walk from Dam. No bothers. Just near the Heineken Brewery. The Hotel... The room was really clean, comfortable and spacious enough. We stayed in a triple room (Room 17). We were very happy with the bathroom everything was spotless and clean towels every day. Breakfast... Continental breakfast, oj, tea/coffee, boiled eggs, bread, jams, crackers. Good to keep you going 'til lunch.. Nightlife... Leidsplein, Cafe de Waard is good for music. The irish bar was alright, even though we sat outside. When the bars close at 1 a.m. ask any barman where Biblos is. It's just around the corner but make sure you go around the right corner. When Biblos closes at 3a.m. ask those barmen where Bourbon St. is. It's all great craic. All of the locals are really friendly and really know their languages. Can't wait to go back to Amsterdam and will definately stay here again! P.S. Make sure you go to Volendam and Marken to see windmills, cheese farm and clogs and a ferry ride with Lindburgh Excursions. Must do a canal ride as well.

Being our first time in amsterdam, i think we picked the perfect hotel, in a great location just close enough to the centre, all the action of the centre was located 10-15 mins walk along one long road (and the heineken experience literaly around the corner) cutting out the need for public transport. the hotel was very well kept, the rooms were in imaculate condition and of a nice size. the staff were very freindly and helpfull, and breakfast was served quickly, to a high standard. A small selection of food and drinks were available at the bar, which were served around the clock which was a handy feature, if returning later on. I have no doubt that I will be staying with this hotel again and I recomend anyone in doing so.
