AsteriskEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The two-star Asterisk offers basic, affordable rooms in a central yet quiet location. The family-run hotel commands two separate buildings within easy walking distance of the Rijksmuseum, Leidseplein, and the Heineken brewery.

The 43 rooms get plenty of light from the large windows. Red carpets and floral-pattern blankets add some gusto. Rooms are equipped with standard amenities including cable TV, telephone, and Wi-Fi. The bathrooms, which are either en-suite or shared with other rooms, are simple but functional (hair dryers are available at the reception).

An internet station is available, and breakfast is included in the nightly rates. The lobby reminded us of an elegant lounge you might find at a turn-of-the-century train depot. One of the Asterisk's two buildings has an elevator—a big lift, if you will, on the competition.
