The bedrooms are all very different and unique and offer some of the best accommodation of any 3 star hotel in Amsterdam. They are all influenced by various philosophers, hence the hotels name.

The hotel serves breakfast only due to its prime location. The breakfast room is located on the lower ground floor and is tastefully decorated with a black and gold colour scheme; however, breakfast may also be taken in the beautiful lounge that leads off the lobby and which is decorated in a royal red colour, with fresh flowers, chandeliers and even a red and gold reading area.

The lobby is medium sized and welcoming and also incorporates a small bar area. The lobby leads straight into the lounge area.

This is a lovely, traditional building, in keeping with its surrounds.

This is an excellent find in a quiet but central location, ideal for all travelers, and comes very highly recommended. It is a jewel in Amsterdams crown. 220808KC
