Frommer's "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."

"People book a room at the St Christopher's at Winston Hotel to have fun and mingle with like-minded revelers." Full review
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
The Telegraph7.0
"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

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

"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
The Telegraph7.0
"On a hectic street between Central Station and the Dam, just a heartbeat from the Red Light District." Full review
