    A short guide to City Center Amsterdam

    The bustling heart of Amsterdam, this district attracts hordes of visitors teeming from Centraal Station to Dam Square and its beautiful Nieuwe Kerk (14th-century). The oldest part of town, Oude Zijde, is famous for its Red Light District, but the University and the docks bring a different kind of colour and buzz to the narrow streets. Don’t miss the Oude Kerk, the Amstelkring Museum or the paintings in the Amsterdams Historisch Museum.

    "Good location - Some disadvantages on rooms"  by G from Dublin

    My wife and I chose this hotel as we had stayed in a Swisshotel in Berlin and had a marvellous stay there. This Amsterdam hotel is ideally situated but unfortunately the room was overlooked by close adjoining buildings and was very dark. We paid to have an upgrade but then found that early every morning we were woken up in this room by the street cleaners outside. The staff were excellent and helped to make up for the inconvience incurred.

    "Great stay in Amsterdam!"  by T from New York

    The Swissotel is in a great location. You can see the square from the window (if you have a street view). The rooms are clean and the staff is very friendly. I will most definitely stay there again when I go back.
