Fodor's Expert Review Hotel V Nesplein

Nes 49, Amsterdam, North Holland, 1012 KD, Netherlands Fodor's Choice

On a pedestrian street of theaters and hotels, mere minutes on foot from Dam Square and the Red Light District, this contemporary boutique hotel offers sleek minimalist rooms, a hip vibe, and staff eager to help guests enjoy their stay. Although there's not much of a lobby to speak of, the lively restaurant (actually called "The Lobby") serves as a congregation point for locals and tourists alike to grab a bite or work on their laptops. Rooms are simple but well designed, with parquet floors, vintage furniture, and sublime sandalwood-scented bathroom amenities; theater posters in the hallways reflect the hotel's location.
