"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."
