 | Estherea Hotel: Good but not Great

We stayed there for two nights in July, 2006. The public areas of the hotel are quite nice. The rooms, however, are not air-conditioned or ventilated at all unless you crank the windows open. Then you get street noise until midnight or later on weekends. The location is excellent, just a short walk from Dam Square and from the tram stop on Spui. Nice cafes just around the corner. The breakfast was 14.00 Euro and typical Dutch cold cuts, cheese, bread and what not. You can do better down the street, frankly. The host will give you a sales pitch for the canal cruises and sell you a ticket. They get a commission off the sale. The cruise is not bad, actually.
Coffee, tea, biscuits, fruit, always available in the lounge.

The hotel is very close to the center and not far from the railway station, actually we walked all the way from the station with luggage (rolling our suitcases, of course, not carrying them! :)). It is a very cosy place with very friendly staff.
On the ground floor there is a huge and very beautiful aquarium, a very nice library, where you can sit and read newspapers or books, a bar and a restaurant. There is always free water, tea and coffee and even some cakes on the ground floor for the guests.
Some rooms have a canal view, which is very beautiful. But the windows of some rooms face the year, although the worse view can be compensated with a bigger room. The place is very quiet, you will have no trouble sleeping at night (if your partner doesn't snore, that is! :))
The unigue features are the aquarium and the library. I've never seen anything like this in any other hotel before.
