Hotel Museumzicht

This is an excellent small hotel. The room was tiny with shared facilities but good value for money. The location was great, right next to some of the main museums and within walking distance of city centre. The stairs up are very very steep so won't suit anyone with slight mobility issues or large suitcases. With the small rooms, it was great that there was access to a "sitting room" with a hot drink in the evenings (until 10pm I think) Breakfast was included and was good. Staff very nice.

This hotel is well placed for the museums. After booking, I received a very helpful "How to get there" email and, although I walked from the Centraal Station, the 397 bus passes the door and would be a very good way of reaching the hotel from the airport. Forget this hotel if you don't like stairs. The hotel states that it does not have a lift but, after the first 10 stairs to the door, there are another 40 or so to reception. However, once you are there, you are in a delightful hotel. The breakfast room, where there is tea and coffee all day (with biscuits) is bright and sunny and a room that inspires one to be creative. Whilst here, I should say that the breakfast starts at 0830h. Not a bad breakfast and normal for the Netherlands (no hot food). My room was at the back and up two more floors (another 38 steps!). Comfortable with a wash basin, desk. Can't remember if there was a TV but I think not. WiFi worked well. Toilet and shower rooms were off the corridor outside. My room was quiet and very light. The price was good value for summer in Amsterdam and location. The place was very clean. The management were helpful and keen to give advice should one need it (for instance, suggesting places nearby to eat where the locals might go, advising on a local market etc.) If you are reading this review and want to go to a museum, just a reminder to book on line beforehand. The Van Gogh Museum had a two week waiting list when I was there)
