Michelin Guide
"One of Amsterdam's finest hotels... Pure, unadulterated luxury."
Concierge
"You will sacrifice a canal view, but the location of this bustling hotel, opened in February 2012 directly across from the Museumplein, more than compensates."

The cavernous center is divided into spaces aligned with the four elements, but if you have to choose, forget earth, fire, and air and head for the water spa, which features a watsu pool and hammam treatments.

Star Service
"Although it lacks the intimate room count of a true boutique-hotel, this creatively transformed Gothic fortress features some of the most dramatic architectural-scapes in Amsterdam." Full review
Frommer's

Travel + Leisure

9.0
"Italian contemporary style – and the best lobby-lounge in town – Conservatorium is infused into a 19th-century bank building, bang in between Museumplein and Amsterdam’s chicest fashion street." Full review

"While it takes up prime real estate in a former music conservatory just a stone’s throw from the Rijks and Museumplein, Conservatorium has a lot more going for it than location alone." Full review
Fodor's
"An impressive early 20th-century bank turned music school is a visual feast, with a glass-roofed, tree-filled courtyard lobby and dramatically modern guest rooms." Full review

"Maybe too close to the Red Light District for some people's taste, and on a slightly seedy street, the Winston is a step up from grungy and has a hang-loose, alternative rep." Full review
Lonely Planet
"Most rooms are 'art' rooms: local artists were given free rein, with results from super-edgy (entirely stainless steel) and playful to questionably raunchy." Full review
Rough Guide
"Part of the St Christopher’s Inns chain, this self-consciously young and cool hotel has funky rooms decorated with crazy art, and a busy ground-floor bar that has regular live music."

Time Out
"Now part of St Christopher's Inns, a UK-based hostel chain, the legendary Winston still manages to maintain its youthful, party-loving atmosphere and arty rooms." Full review
Let's Go
"Hotel Winston feels more modern and continental than the other boozing-and- snoozing complexes on the street, thanks in part to the attached sleek bar and trendy club." Full review

7.0
"Hip, high-energy, with a popular bar and club attached, and very much part of the red-light district: this is a place to party, not for early nights or a quiet break." Full review
