"This is really a family place. We keep it all in the family," says Hanneke De Vries, whose family indeed has run the two-star Keizershof since 1959. That means good prices, a classy feel, and a laidback, quirky vibe that will easily win over families looking for a quiet, unique place to stay.

Four rooms, each named and decorated around a classic Hollywood movie star, are located on the top floor of a picture-perfect Dutch townhouse. Stay in the Charlie Chaplin room, and you can look out at a sumptuous slice of Amsterdam canal life. The rooms are spacious and the furniture classic: small wooden cabinets, simple beds, and wall art falling somewhere on the post-impressionist spectrum. Bathrooms are nothing special, but they're clean and look like they do the job.

To top things off, you're between the Leidsestraat and the Vijzelgracht, so many of the city's sights and amenities are right outside your door.

Note: Be warned that the stairs are steep enough to frighten a seasoned Alpinist, and the layout of the building is confusing.
