Recommend a hotel in Amsterdam, suitable for romance?

[bertelli_1]

Me and the mrs are doing amsterdam & need a hotel room. I've been before & ended up in some really drap, spartan room on the top floor of an 87 storey house (I'm not kidding, it took about 4 hours to climb the stairs - or maybe I was a little wasted...). Can anyone recommend a nice hotel, more suited for a couple than a group of lads, thats not going to break the bank?

I would recommend the American or the Arena

the american hotel or the college hotel

I asked a similar question on here a 18 months ago and was recomended Banks Mansion, which i cannot rate highly enough. Decent location and the free bar helped the weekend go very well.

i fond the b&b's to be much more romantic than the hotels in ams, and are cheaper. there's nothing like a canal view and a room in the eaves to get her 'in the mood' so to speak.

these 2 are owned by the same people, one of whom is a pastry chef [croissants to die for]:

alternatively:

all the above have been tried/tested by either me, my family or friends.


never stayed at a hotel myself, but my parents stayed here:

there's also the college hotel, which is 4star but cheaper than others as its also a catering college.

Lennon suite at the Amsterdam Hilton - its where he wrote 'Imagine'
The Krasnapolsky
An art room at the Winston.

Can recommend Hotel Misc. Only a small place, with 6 rooms, but pretty stylish, great location, proprietors were friendly and helpful.

Bilderberg Garden.

It is very nice, next to a river/canal, has large beds, a bar and parking. Situated a very short tram/bus hop (or short walk) from the city centre. Not the cheapest, but worth the money I would say.

Hotel Okura - just outside the city centre. http://www.okura.nl/
