"Near the station, a neoclassical 19C luxury hotel and extension dating from the 1980s."

Staffers are slow to respond to individual requests, and renovations are intermittent with rooms within the same category varying in standards.
Time Out
"Rooms themselves are of a good size, and come with all the expected trappings. A big plus is the excellent health club and pool, both open to non-guests for a fee." Full review

"Where better to experience a city on the water than on a boat-hotel moored permanently to a dock on the IJ waterway northwest of Centraal Station?" Full review

Be sure to ask for a room with a view on the water, to avoid the uninspiring quay.

"Five minutes’ walk from Centraal Station, this floating hotel is usually populated by dazed, Europe-in-four-days bus groups and packs of Brit boys/girls celebrating bucks’/hens’ nights." Full review
Time Out
"Convenient for Centraal Station, the docklands and hops across to Noord, this a good bet if you're looking for good, clean accommodation with the odd frill, like free in-house movies." Full review
