EuroCheapo review print this page

Hotel The Crown features quiet, affordable rooms situated above a pub in the vivacious atmosphere of the Red Light district.

The family-run 1-star offers no frills in the floors above its pool table-equipped bar. The 17 rooms are as basic as those in a good hostel: beds lined up tightly against each other, clinical white walls adorned with abstract art prints, shared bathrooms that are cramped but clean. Two of the three floors have internet access (ask ahead).

If you're coming to Amsterdam to party, this is a great location. You’ll never need to venture far beyond the Crown and its corner in this bustling hood. However, if your idea of Amsterdam conjures up more Rembrandts than Red Lights, we recommend you move on.

About the Hotel The Crown neighborhood

Amsterdam's (in)famous Red Light District is a short walk from Centraal Station and lies within the "Old Center," the oldest part of town. True, the area is home to hundreds of red windows for "women of the night", live sex shows and marijuana peddling coffee shops. But it's hardly a dangerous free-for all. There is a heavy police presence throughout the neighborhood and cameras on many corners.

As night falls, the narrow streets become increasingly crowded (and increasingly noisy) with happy-go-lucky tourists out for a fun night. Perhaps ironically, the Red Light District also boast some traditional attractions, such as the Oude Kerk (The Old Church), cool shops, and many affordable hotels.
