Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Our favourite hotel in this price range, it has just eight rooms in a house dating back to 1652. Its rooms, named for Dutch painters, are furnished with simplicity, but all have canal views." Full review
DK Eyewitness "All rooms are en suite and no-smoking, and there is even a lift, making the Brouwer all-round great value."
Time Out "The eight neat, en-suite rooms here are named after Dutch painters and all of them look onto the Singel canal." Full review

Michelin Guide "The handsome Berlage architeaure of this hotel hints at the elegant accommodation on offer here."
Concierge "Instead of relying on high design as so many other new places in the Dutch capital do, it's taking a shot at being the coziest, comfiest hotel in town."
Travel + Leisure "Located on the Herengracht Canal, the Banks Mansion is a stately white-columned hotel housing 51 rooms, many of which display serene water views." Full review
DK Eyewitness "In an imposing former bank, this hotel is all-inclusive: everything, from the Internet to movies to the minibar, is free."
Star Service "Flirty and fun fashion is the foundation for this postcard boutique-hotel for young couples. It is a more conservative version of the Toren and Ambassade." Full review
Time Out "Once you check in to this grand hotel in a former bank building, everything is yours to choose." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
