Nice hotel in Amsterdam. Its not located right smack int he middle of Amsterdam, but its easy to access the city center on foot or by tram. Takes roughly 10-15 minutes to walk to what is defined as the city center. The design of the hotel is great, although the bathroom is a bit spacy! - Not alot of privacy,... More

My buddy and I found ourselves in Amsterdam over the holidays. We are both members of the Canadian Forces and were off on our Christmas leave.
