Situated directly on the corner of Rembrandtplein scene and busy Utrechtsestraat, the two-star City Hotel boasts a lively and convenient address, as well as 13 rooms that look out over all the action. While this means being in the heart of things, it can also mean loud nights if windows are left open.
The first-floor lobby, caf—, and bar, which overlook the square, underwent a design makeover in late 2004, switching lanes from Old English to contemporary Dutch style. Sleek dark tables and countertops are set off by fire red chairs, drapes, and light fixtures, and topped with a large flat-panel television. It's a hip and welcome sight.
Upstairs, however, rooms have not made the same switch and remain quite basic, functional, and clean. These un-renovated rooms come in many shapes and sizes and are furnished with standard wooden furniture. Bedspreads are unglamorous, and baths are clean and acceptable (some have been freshly renovated and tiled).
Though all rooms offer a view of the street or square, certain rooms—especially those on the corners—offer quite spectacular vistas.
