Overview
3 Star, Superior Tourist Class Historical Hotel
The hotel is located close to Amsterdam's famous zoo, this hotel is approx 20 minutes walk or only a short tram ride away from the central station and close to all the main attractions of this city.
The bedrooms are large in size and quite minimalist although unique in style with drop down silver lighting. They are in good condition, as are the bathrooms. Rooms are decorated with warm colours and wooden floors.
The restaurant has recently been renovated and now features attractive wooden floorboards and is in the style of a French brasserie. It serves international cuisine and overlooks the forecourt of the hotel. In the summer, there is a terrace where one can have a drink outside.
The hotel has a unique exterior due to the fact that it is an historical building. It was originally built in the 1890 to be a Roman Ctaholic Orphanage. It is traditional in style and is reached by a small forecourt. The lobby is large and bare with its main feature being the recently restored impressive iron staircase.
This is a perfect base for those travelling on a budget. It is slightly different to most hotels in Amsterdam in as much as it has some nice grounds and yet is just minutes from the city centre and also has some extra facilities.
