Amsterdam seduces tourists with its stunning setting around a 17th-century ‘Golden Age’ ring of canals (the Grachtengordel) and some of the world's finest art (in the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum). It is a city of charm and easy-going appeal. The city has a vast collection of hotels ranging from intimate and charming to all-out grandeur. However, our hotel experts generally lean towards something intimate and authentic. With this in mind, our Gurus have compiled a collection of the best guesthouses in Amsterdam, and by guesthouse we generally mean somewhere you can stay and have breakfast, but where there is no restaurant for lunch or dinner. Whether you want a stylish boutique, a romantic hideaway, or something suitable for a family break — there is a property to suit most tastes and budgets. So why not browse through our collection to start planning your next city break?
