Chain: Golden Tulip
The hotel's motto as you can see on their website is: "International Standards, local flavours" and this is exactly what they deliver! The hotel, even though it has 239 rooms, it fits in very well into a little picturesque square. Being only seven minutes walk from the Central Station, the location is perfect as a home base for leisure travelers as well as business travelers. If you plan on sight seeing, the beautiful neighborhood of Jordaan on the romantic canals are only steps away.
The famous Red Light District is also about 5 minutes walk through the center. The main shopping street, Kalverstraat is on the next block! However due to the way the hotel is situated it is very quite and peaceful so you can get your much needed rest!
It's near by the Spui square which has many restaurants and is a lively place in the evenings if you might fancy a night cap... or TWO!

I would definitely recommend this hotel! The location could not be more perfect, the rooms are modern, comfortable and the beds are FANTASTIC! The staff at the front desk will literally make your day. Another amazing thing is that even though the hotel is in the heart of the city, it is tucked into a quiet square so you can be assured a good night sleep. Read our customer reviews?
