5 charming hotels in Amsterdam

1. Hotel Roemer Amsterdam (Our pick)

There was never any doubt that Hotel Roemer would top our list. It's one of Amsterdam's 4-star boutique hotels and among the best rated on Booking, with unbeatable value for money.

It sits right in the center of the city, and the rooms are elegant, with air conditioning, a desk and a minibar. The facilities are modern too, and there's a lovely garden where you can unwind before bed.

Why we like Hotel Roemer Amsterdam

1. It's a boutique hotel spread across 2 historic 18th-century mansions on a quiet street.
2. It has a private garden and rooms come with a flat-screen TV and a Nespresso machine.
3. The bathrooms are modern, with a whirlpool tub or a rain shower.
4. There's a buffet breakfast and a self-service bar with drinks and snacks, open 24 hours.
5. It's 200 meters from Vondelpark, perfect for walking and cycling.
6. It's less than a 10-minute walk from Museumplein, home to the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum.

2. Urban Lodge Hotel

The Urban Lodge Hotel is in the Westpoort district, very close to Sloterdijk train station, which gets you to Amsterdam Centraal (Central Station) in a matter of minutes. It's a little away from the center, but worth it: you get more space and quality for a lower price.

It blends urban and rural design, with plenty of Dutch touches that make the place feel warm and comfortable. Lots of wood, neutral colors and classic Delft blue make it one of those charming Amsterdam hotels where you'll sleep happily.

If you're after hotels in central Amsterdam that are comfortable, elegant and tasteful, the Leonardo Boutique Museumhotel will exceed your expectations.

It's barely a 2-minute walk from the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum, an excellent base for exploring the city. From here you can easily head out for a bike ride through Vondelpark or enjoy being close to Leidseplein, just 5 minutes away, an area packed with theaters, restaurants and bars.

The hotel has 188 rooms with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and unlimited wifi. Much of the decor is in grays and reds, and many rooms look out over Pieter Cornelisz Hooftstraat, near one of the most iconic canals in Amsterdam.

One of the liveliest corners is the bar, where guests and locals meet over a good beer and a colorful atmosphere. And take note: every morning there's a buffet breakfast, which you can include in your nightly rate or pay €21.50 per person.
