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

Star Service "It sits away from the touristy Red Light District and Dam Square, and although first-timers may balk at the location, a half-hour trudge from Centraal Station, De Pijp is the current it-girl.

Afar Magazine "Indulgent in a minimalist way, with dashes of both Japanese modernism and midcentury Scandinavian design in the black wooden floors, oversized white soaking tubs, and all the latest technology." Full review
Wallpaper "In many aspects, the Sir Albert is an unlikely hotel experience. Based on an entirely imaginary character, it is laid out as a well-appointed aristocratic home." Full review

"Housed in a converted diamond factory, and decorated with careful contemporary taste, the Sir Albert offers a reposeful retreat, popular with the over-30s and corporate travellers." Full review
Jetsetter "An award-winning boutique hotel in the heart of the Latin Quarter, with design-centric interiors." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "His genteel touch is everywhere, from the refined Japanese food in Izakaya to the atmospheric interiors and the impressive selection of books in the study." Full review
Frommer's "This boutique property is nicely situated on the border of De Pijp and the Museum Quarter, within easy walking distance of the city’s Big Three museums and the bustling Albert Cuyp Market." Full review

Opt for a suite if you want a bit more privacy than the standard open-plan bathrooms afford.
Frommer's "The book-lined lobby lounge, outfitted with generous leather seats, cowhide poufs, and a gas fireplace, is a cozy spot...many of the rooms feature high ceilings and equally tall windows" Full review
