Great location in city
center
by davequcenter
You are in the middle of everything, yet on a fairly quiet little street (Gravenstraat, one of my favorites) behind the new church.
Rooms are clean and good-sized for Amsterdam, staff is very helpful, friendly and professional. There is a lift/elevator. Small bar in lobby is open effectively 24/7 as desk clerk(s) double as "bartender."
Breakfast is nothing special. Maybe skip it and go 1 block over to Nieuwendijk/Dam shops or better still, walk west down Gravenstraat across Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal and Singel to a cafe on Oude Leliegracht.
A little higher priced these days but the xtra Euros you pay/night are for the amazing location. If you're planning on walking a lot in Amsterdam center from Jordaan to Red Light, this is a good choice. Three-star hotel... maybe a little pricey, but worth it.
Bottom line: not cheap (expensive with dollar-to-euro rate of 1/1.5), but I liked it, great location, I liked the staff, and I would stay there again.
A good hotel, clean comfortable, with a location just a block off Dam Square and Nieuwendijk. Close to everything.
Lots of info at Tulip in Dam Square WEBSITE
