“Pricey but worth it”
Amstel Hotel has been continuously run as a Hotel for 150 and has hosted many celebrities. True old world charm with beautiful lobby, wood paneled elevator, and fresh flowers in the hallways. Great location situated on the canal provides canal views from your room, the restaurant and also from the pool. You will have many dining options in Amsterdam but don’t miss dining at the Amstel. The meals are superb we enjoyed Breakfast and we enjoyed our sever George (originally from Greece) at dinner. The room is gorgeous and spacious including the bathroom with glass doors separating the toilet and the shower stall from the tub , sinks and towel warmer, allowing a couple to both use the bathroom at the same time comfortably. Pricey but worth it.
