The Hotel Van Onna is pleasant, clean and quiet, offering 41 cheery rooms on the Bloemgracht, in the heart of the Jordaan. A gentleman by the name of Leon, one heck of a nice guy, runs the hotel along with his family.
Rooms are kept spic and span. Thirteen of these face the canal, and five are funky attic rooms each with fantastic views of Amsterdam's rooftops. We especially liked the original artwork and photographs lining the walls. (Warning: The attic rooms might be a bit too warm in summer.)
The Van Onna certainly isn't a party place. However, it does provide cheap, romantic rooms about a 15-minute walk from the city center. Plus, many visitors will appreciate the hotel's no-smoking policy. We're not just talking dope here. No smoking--period.
