Location is key at the two-star Quentin Golden Bear Hotel, formerly the Gay Hotel Golden Bear. This section of the Kerkstraat where the hotel is located is among the most happening hubs of Amsterdam's gay scene.

Bear with us, as we try to get our story, er, straight. (Sorry!) We recommended the Gay Hotel Golden Bear for years, as the hotel was once of the most famous of the city’s gay-run guesthouses. Now it is part of the Quentin Hotel chain, which runs several other budget-friendly hotels in town.

Its 17 renovated rooms are equipped with TV and free Wi-Fi.

Still, with doubles ranging from €100-120, it’s a bit more expensive than back in the gay old days.

Note: Gay Hotel The Golden Bear has steep stairs — and no elevator.

Grachtengordel South

The most elegant area within the city center, Grachtengordel South (also referred to as the "Southern Canal Ring") features opulent residences, mansion-lined streets and a hot nightlife scene. The area boasts both Rembrandtplein (the city's one-time butter market) and Leidseplein (a former horse and buggy drop-off point). Both squares have been reborn as hot spots for bars, clubs, restaurants and no small number of tourist traps.

Choosing a hotel in the Southern Canal Ring will make things convenient when visiting Amsterdam, as you'll be close enough to the train station, and within an easy walk of most of the city's big sights. You should also consider hotels in the Western Canal Ring (or "Grachtengordel West"), which tends to be quieter.
