Tulip Inn (3 star hotel) does apartments as well as rooms and is located at the top of zeedijk, handy for the centraal station and you're right in the heart of town.

If you can break the bank the Pullitzer is lovely.

Avoid the stretch coming out of central station called Damrak. Lots of hotels there but just a somewhat noisy and unattractive part of town, not a "home" kind of place at all.


Anything at/near a canal or river Amstel is generally nice. Zeedijk (Nieuwmarkt-side) is ok too as el Pibe mentioned. As it's a small city you never need to travel too far to get to your hotel so don't worry too much about distance. The "concertgebouw" and "rijksmuseum" area is very nice too, central yet quiet and charming and has plenty of hotels.


An apartment can be nice if you like to rest "at home" in the middle of the day (as hotels obviously do room cleaning and the rooms are generally not very big). Maybe less worth the research for just 2 nights but you can consider it.


Pm me if you have specific questions about the city as I'm from there.

    • Naaah, it's rubbish - it would be a change of use so would need planning. https://www.planningdirect.co.uk/planningappeals/affordable-planning-applications/change-of-use/commercial-to-takeaway-change-of-use There's not enough footfall for a McDonalds, anyway, and they're quite picky about their sites 
    • So let's never do anything that might improve an area, because it will just be dragged down to the level of what's presently there? Is that what you are saying? I don't have the time or the inclination to do the research, but I'm pretty sure that I have read  that when people who had lived in a very run down area  were given  nice surroundings, they appreciated and looked after them.
