Concierge "A sister hotel to the iconoclastic Lloyd hotel, the Exchange is located on tatty Damrak, the tourist-thronged artery that runs from the Centraal Station to Dam Square."
Fodor's "All of the rooms in three adjoining buildings have been designed by students and alumni from the Amsterdam Fashion Institute and are unique and funky." Full review
Rough Guide "God knows, Damrak needs a decent hotel, and this new sister to the excellent Lloyd Hotel... is a welcome and wacky newcomer... for the price, it’s one of the best places to sleep in town."
Lonely Planet "The Exchange has 61 rooms that have been done up in crazy, eye-popping style by students from the Amsterdam Fashion Institute." Full review

If you like plain decor, this isn't your place.

"The Exchange is a boutique concept hotel, where all 61 rooms have been decorated by different young fashion designers from the Amsterdam Fashion Institute." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Students from the Amsterdam Fashion Institute designed the rooms here, and each is wildly different, from one in an all-white palette to another whose walls are draped in exotic fabrics." Full review
Wallpaper "Eight students from the Amsterdam Fashion Institute were selected to 'dress' the rooms... room inspiration ranged from Marie Antoinette to wallflowers and denim jackets." 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
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"A 19th-century diamond factory houses this glitzy design hotel." Full review
Fodor's "Set in a late-19th-century former diamond factory, this atmospheric hotel aims to make guests feel like they're staying in a deluxe private mansion." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"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
