EuroCheapo review print this page

The newly decorated 2-star Hotel Hermitage, formerly the Luckytravellers Fantasia, lives it up with St. Petersburg-style rooms right on the banks of the Amstel.

The 22 rooms here still have that fresh-out-of-the-box feel. Standard amenities such as cable TV and free Wi-Fi complement a charismatic décor. For example, we loved the Russian court-style wallpaper and the heavy beams across the room’s ceilings, and we tripped out at the static-like irregularity of salt-and-pepper tile work in the bathrooms. Travelers will feel right at home in the modern, comfortable dining area: it was akin to being in a friend’s kitchen.

The Hermitage is located in a canal-side building just a stone's throw from the Waterlooplein, Rembrantplein, and the newly opened Hermitage museum.

About the Hotel Hermitage neighborhood

The Plantagebuurt is a quiet, green neighborhood, ten minutes from the center of town. It features several museums (including the Rembrandt House Museum) and a zoo in addition to a difficult history. A Jewish neighborhood from the 16th century until World War II, the Plantagebuurt was once bustling with factories and commerce. Its location, completely surrounded by canals, allowed German forces during World War II to isolate the area and create a Jewish ghetto. Following the war, many of the tragically deserted homes were dismantled for wood to provide heat against the cold winter. The area was renovated in the 1970s. Today only the synagogue and the Jewish Museum remind visitors of the neighborhood's troubled past.
