About
The 3-star City Amsterdam hotel is an ideal launching pad for exploration of the canal city, sitting 550 metres from Centraal Station, overlooking Science Centre NEMO on the Oosterdok waterfront. The red light district, Old Church and the National Seafaring Museum are all a few canals over, while Dam Square and the Rembrandthuis Museum are within one kilometre.
All 52 rooms in this 18th Century building are non-smoking and have a private bathroom with shower and toilet, flat-screen TV and telephone.
Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas, charged public parking is nearby and bicycles can be rented from the 24-hour reception. Luggage storage and express check-ins/check-outs are possible.
Guests can enjoy relaxing with a drink in City Amsterdam’s bar/lounge and great Dutch restaurants can be found one canal back (behind the Waalseilandgracht canal).
Amsterdam Schiphol Airport can be reached in 40 minutes from the hotel.

negative:
Some rooms in basement.
If you are after views, or sunlight in general, then make sure you do not book into one of the basement level rooms, as some people have been disappointed by this. On the same page, certain rooms often look onto other hotel rooms, instead of out over the
negative:
Wi-Fi only in public areas.
Should you be in need of Wi-Fi in your room to take care of some work, then ask for a room close to the public area router as otherwise the rooms do not have dedicated Wi-Fi signal.
