the Times Hotel (Amsterdam, Netherlands)

The Times is located strategically in Amsterdam, with a five-minute walk leading you right to Anne Frank House. Most attractions, shops, and restaurants are all within walking distance.

This hotel is ideal for guests that want to enjoy what Amsterdam has to offer, yet retire to a nice, quiet room at night. The guesthouse is right off the main strip, so while you’re still close, you’re just far enough from the crowds.

Most of the rooms come equipped with stunning views of bustling Amsterdam below. From the streets to the canal around the hotel, each room offers a view of something different.

Because there’s a coffee shop located right next to the hotel, the smell of weed tends to linger inside and outside of the hotel. You might find this disturbing, especially because it’s around often.

Depending on the room you get, you might not be on the upper floor of the hotel. There are some rooms in the basement/cellar area, which can get very cold during the night.

While the hotel does offer breakfast, it comes at an additional price – and it can be expensive. You may want to explore other places for breakfast.
