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."

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
