“Everything a traveler could ask for !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed yesterday NEW

This family run hotel is a mere 5 minutes walk from the Palais Royal & Dam square and about 20 miuntes to Anne Frank House. The Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh are a leisurely half an hour walking distance. Some of the best restaurants of the city are quite literally a stones throw away ! The service is brisk, friendly and... More

Stayed for 5 days in late September to celebrate our daughter's 21st birthday. The hotel is absolutely stunning located on the oldest canal with gorgeous lounges and a library. The bar is very pretty and just perfect for a late night drink and not too expensive. Just by the bar you can help yourself to coffee or tea and fresh... More

“Wow, very beautiful place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 days ago NEW via mobile

We spent 7 days in this amazing hotel. Our room was really beautiful with the view of the street. The lobby area was incredible with red chandeliers which reminded me Alice in wonderland. Easy access to every where. Also I Loved the big coffee machine with various kinds of coffee and snacks.

“Amsterdam canal”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 days ago NEW

We enjoyed our canal view room. It was very large and newly decorated ! However, the bathroom is very small. The staff was very helpful. They started a remodeling of the bar/ breakfast area the day we departed so I would check the progress before booking.

Very beautiful place! You just want to sit in the lobby area and admire all the fabulous décor. The chandeliers are incredible and they have the sweetest pink bar to enjoy.

We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Estherea. We had a canal view room which gave us a lovely view and a very bright room-I would recommend this for the slight increase in price.. I was a bit worried about whether there would be noise but it seems like this canal is not so frequented by tourists. It was in... More

“Absolutely Stunning Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago via mobile

Totally fantastic place to stay. We booked before the Brexit vote, so the eventual price was more than we would normally pay. On arrival we were offered a free upgrade to a suite. It was worth every single penny, for every second that we spent at the hotel. The staff were very friendly, polite and nothing was too much trouble... More

Here are the things we liked/loved: 1) small/medium sized hotel, 2) family run, 3) beautifully cared for, 4) great service all around - front desk, cleaning staff, etc., 5) great location on the Singel close to trams, Dam Square, and great local shopping and restaurants....

    Staying in Centrum

    Neighborhood Profile
    Centrum
    Amsterdam’s buzzing hub, with its sprawling network of tram rails and a seemingly constant flow of tourists and commuters, yields convenient access to some of the best sightseeing, shopping, and street life in Europe. Closest at hand are the Royal Palace, the quaint shops of Haalremmerdijk, the pedestrianized zones Kalverstraat and Dam Square with popular neighborhoods such as the Red Light District, and the Canal Ring hardly more than a moment’s stroll away. With the well-connected Centraal Station as Centrum’s base, it's easy to travel farther afield via one of the city’s iconic trams.
