EuroCheapo review print this page

Cheapo rates and a prime location are the main attractions of the one-star Bema, located near the Concertgebouw, Van Gogh, and Rijksmuseum. The splashy mix of eight rooms offered up by proprietor Terry Thompson, who has run the place since 1989, aren't bad either.

Your room might be decked out in turquoise with baroque molding on the vanity mirror. Or maybe you'll sleep next to flowers held in an African vase atop a brown marble table. The scattered design exudes personality and brought a smile to our face. Some of the rooms have basic bathrooms en-suite, and all offer Wi-Fi. Rates are affordable (€65 for a double with shared facilities) and apartments are available in addition to standard guestrooms.

After taking on the steep staircase, be sure to check out the Bema's lobby, which is furnished with old-school theater seats.

About the Bema neighborhood

The most popular area of town outside the city center, the Museumplein is a pleasing, 19th-century residential area crowded with museums and parks. Museums here include the Rijksmuseum, which possesses an impressive collection of Dutch paintings from the 15th through the 17th centuries (including an enormous Rembrandt collection), the Van Gogh Museum, and the Stedelijk Museum, which features modern and contemporary works. The other big attraction of the area of the Vondelpark, which was celebrated in the 1970s as a sex, drugs, and rocknroll playground. Today the commercial district of Museumplein is upscale, full of pricey little boutiques and shops.
