“Amistad Hotel's prime location, steps from Leidseplein and a short walk to major museums and Vondelpark, makes it ideal for exploring Amsterdam. I noted that the modern, clean rooms provide a comfortable base, complemented by a breakfast featuring cooked-to-order eggs and pancakes. The steep stairs typical of Amsterdam canal houses might pose a challenge for some.”
