The 3-star Hotel Library Amsterdam provides rooms ranging from 32.8 ft^2 singles to 65.6 ft^2 family units, each equipped with flat-screen cable TV, walk-in rain shower, and smartphone docking station. Every room includes a private bathroom with free toiletries, tea/coffee facilities, and a laptop safe. The mezzanine level houses the hotel's signature library with free all-day coffee and tea service. A continental breakfast buffet is available for an additional charge, and the property maintains a 24-hour front desk with luggage storage.

Pros

Free books available to take and keep

Mezzanine reading area with complimentary beverages and fresh fruit

Digital amenities including free Wi-Fi and tablet phones in rooms

Several room sizes available, from single to five-bed configurations

Cons

Breakfast not included in room rate

Some rooms face the basement or courtyard rather than city views

“The library concept is genuinely appealing, especially with the added touch of complimentary beverages. Its location within a historic canal house puts guests within walking distance of key attractions. It's worth noting some guests have reported issues related to room occupancy regulations and inconsistencies in service that travelers should be aware of.”
