EuroCheapo Review print this page

The Barbacan is a reliable, family-run establishment offering reasonable rates for rooms in the elegant Plantage neighborhood. The two-star hotel has a rustic décor scrubbed clean of every last ounce of pretension.

Twenty three rooms offer your standard budget fare: linoleum floors and decent beds that take up much of the rooms' walking space. Almost everything—from the bedding, to the walls, to the curtains—is white, though an occasional brown wall mixes things up. There are 14 rooms with private bathrooms; the rest have shared facilities.

Breakfast is included in the price, and there are laundry facilities on site. In the downstairs lobby, make use of the Barbacan's computers: you'll have to pay, though.

Note: The Barbacan has steep stairs and doesn't offer an elevator.

About the Barbacan neighborhood

Located 10 minutes from the center of town, quiet, green Plantagebuurt was historically a Jewish neighborhood, until the Germans turned it into a Jewish ghetto during World War II. Following the war, many of the tragically deserted homes were dismantled for firewood, and today only the synagogue and the Jewish Museum remind visitors of the neighborhood's troubled past. Plantagebuurt is, however, home to several museums (including the Rembrandt House Museum) and a zoo.
