Good value for the price
by TripAdvisor Member CaptnHook
Just got back for a one-night stay at this hotel. Hoping to stay for two more nights but they are fully booked for the weekend. I usually travel by myself and book single room only, most of the time end up with a room the size of a big walk-in closet. This hotel has a single room rate but you get a good size double room. This is the best deal I found so far in Amsterdam for a single traveler who wants a good size room, with private bathroom facility, at a good location in Centrum. I used to like Rho Hotel for the same qualities (location, price, breakfast), but the single room deal in Hotel Prins Hendrik are far better. The only compliant I have there is no in-room safe.
Superb location, big rooms and friendly staff

A group of 20 of us stayed at the Prins Hendrik from 9th to 11th April 2005. It's right opposite Central Station, and within about 3 minutes walk of the Red Light District and 5 minutes of Dam Square. Don't be put off if the Red Light District is not your thing - simply turn left out of the hotel instead of right and you're onto Damrak, which leads down to Dam Square and the many shops and attractions of Amsterdam.
We found the staff at the hotel to be helpful and friendly, and the buffet breakfast was an excellent way to start the day, with a range of meats, cheeses, breads, cereals, eggs and the most delicious Dutch coffee. The hotel bar has a range of beers, wines and spirits, and is an ideal place to wind down at the end of the day or night.
I'm hopefully going back in September with my partner, and she's really fussy about hotels so it must be ok!!
Good location, good breakfast
by A TripAdvisor Member
This hotel has a good location within easy walking distance of the train station and attractions. We walked to all the main attractions, including the Rijksmuseum.
Breakfast was very good with a decent amount of seating and a variety of cold cuts, cheese, breads, eggs, cereals, yogurt, etc. Definitely better than average for hotels in this class.
We arrived before check-in time but they got us into our room early, which we really appreciated. (We had to wait for maybe 10-15 minutes because they were still cleaning our room, but that wasn't a big deal.)
You had to pay an extra deposit to get the remote for your TV, which was kind of annoying. (We didn't bother.)
Our room was quite a decent size and clean enough, but a little noisy at night.
Overall, I thought it was a decent value, especially with the good location and good breakfast.
No complaints whatsoever

We stayed for 3 nights and were not disappointed. Ideally situated just near Central Station and within walking distance of all the main attractions including bars and restaurants.
The hotel was clean and comfortable with a good bathroom (bath and shower). The television had BBC1 BBC2 and BBC world as well as MTV. There was a chain on the door of our room.
Breakfast was buffet style and better than a lot of continental breakfasts I've seen. There was a toaster to toast the many different types of bread, cold meats and cheese, baked beans, scrambled egg and boiled eggs, a variety of jams and peanut butter and 3 or 4 cereals, apples and plain yogurt.
The negatives - no tea making facilities in the room - you have to take your own. Can be very noisy at night - you are unlikely to have an unbroken night's sleep.
Would definitely stay there next time I visit this great city.

The impossible question

Who can recommend a romantic hotel or place to stay in central Amsterdam that could have a double room available for a whole week in May. Now for the hard part... the budget is max 150 EUR per night.
Thanks,

The most romantic hotel that comes to my mind is the Canal House. Check the website: www.canalhouse.nl

Nothing is impossible in Amsterdam !!! Having stayed at many city centre Hotels over the past 30 years, I have no hesitation in recommending
Hem Hotel Prins Hendrik, superb 3 star hotel right in the centre. See my review at geoffboxers Amsterdam page. You can book via their Web site. Normal rates for double room is 155 euro per night.
Happy travelling and best wishes. Geoff.

What is romance?? Where you sleep at night or where YOU ARE....or some combination. I tell this to EVERYONE ( I am so Boring). We love the Hotel Hoksbergen. They are centrally located on the canal belt, great friendly staff, quiet, on the canal, nice breakfast, close to everything, a block from the tram stop....NEED I SAY MORE! They are not the "DELUXE HOTEL" with all the foo foo stuff....so if you want that, ignore my response. They run around 100 EU a night...I haven't checked lately, so you should. Here is their address:
