Fantasia
Close to the Amstel,
on a peaceful canal, the
Fantasia Hotel is clean
and well organized. The
rooms on the top floor
have the most character,
but all rooms have a
shower and a phone. d

De Munck
Originally built for a
ship's captain and within
hailing distance of the
Amstel, an otherwise
traditional interior has
been given a dose of
1960s retro. Rooms in
the De Munck are airy
and clean, and there is
both a bar and a garden.

Clean, cheap, simple

rent, free maps, and
friendly advice on routes

young clientele. What
might be a lounge else-

De Admiraal
At the junction of
Herensgracht and
Reguliersgracht, and with
views over both, this
friendly hotel's beamed
bedrooms are bigger
than most, and it's close
enough to the nightlife

optional. d Herengracht

Asterisk
Far from the madding
crowd on a residential
backstreet, this spruce
little hotel has decent-
sized bedrooms and a
touch of style in its 19th-
century moulded ceilings.
Breakfast is included in

Hegra
Its prime location on
the lovely Herengracht,
its prices and the warmth
of its welcome make up
for the (comfortable)
rooms being rather on
the small side. d

Museumzicht
You can peer down

museum garden from the
plain rooms at the back
of this modest hotel
occupying the top floors

Acacia
Steep stairs, simple
rooms (some with epic
canal views) and a
pleasant breakfast room
are a quarter of an hour's
walk away from the city
centre, in Jordaan. The
charming owners also
offer self-catering
studios, and a houseboat
on a nearby canal. d

Amstel Botel
The idea of staying
on a boat has a certain
charm, but the downside
of the Amstel Botel is
that the rooms (or cabins
if you prefer) on this
floating hotel are small,
and even the view over
the water is dull. The
upside is getting three-
star accommodation at a
very reasonable price -
and being near the
station means there are
trams and buses on your
doorstep. d Oosterdoks-
