Hotel PrinsenhofEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The Hotel Prinsenhof offers 11 simple and charming rooms located on the Prinsengracht, one of Amsterdam's most popular shopping streets. The one-star, family-run operation features canal views in front and garden views in back. There is no elevator, but the friendly staff will help you haul heavy luggage upstairs using an outdoor hook and pulley system (in the classic Amsterdam fashion!).

Rooms vary in size and shape, although all sport dark wood furnishings that work well with the forest-green carpets and beamed ceilings. Amenities are relatively basic, and include a radio, alarm clock, and Internet access (for a fee). One of the rooms in back has a window that opens onto a bare wall (so ask ahead if you want a room with a view). The bathrooms are basic, with black-and-white tiled floors.

Don't miss the message board in the lobby, where previous lodgers have left tips on dining, drinking, and sightseeing.
