Amsterdam Lodging in May 2025

We stayed at the Hotel Estherea in February of this year and absolutely loved it! They have an elevator and the rooms do have air conditioning. The y have an amazing breakfast spread too. That is extra, but when we were looking at hotels my daughter checked their instagram page and they had a promo that included breakfast, so that was a great deal. I would absolutely stay there again, FWIW.

We stayed 5 days at Hotel Cornelisz near Rijksmuseum and it is superb with amenities and small lift/elevator which helped, stayed in a double room, more than enough space for 2, incredible breakfast (best latte machine!). Trams 2 and 12 outside the front door helped us get everywhere easily. Book direct through their website for deals. It might be possible to get on a waitlist too if they are totally booked. They have responded on email as well for inquiries. Have a great trip!

Caroline--We were booked at the Hotel Cornelisz, but then our daughter found that breakfast promo code of the Estherea and it ended up being cheaper than the Cornelisz. The Cornelisz looked wonderful though! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

We enjoyed staying at the Hotel l’Ambassade on the Herengracht Canal.

You can filter a search for AC and lifts on booking.com. Read the reviews, which are legitimate. Then book directly for the best price. Cameron Hewitt's recent Blog here reported the average price a night for Amsterdam to be $400. If you don't like that price, cheaper lodging is found in Haarlem or Leiden, are very close, and charming. Good luck.

In July 2023 we stayed at the De Ware Jacob Hotel. Two blocks to the Museumplein and main tram stops, but in a quiet, residential neighborhood. We had the cheapest category of room "comfort double" and the room was quite small for 2 people, but a good size bathroom and individual A/C that cooled the room very fast. Their breakfast room is open as a lounge in the evening with an honor bar. For us introverts it was a nice respite from a day out in the city!

I enjoyed my stay at the De Ware Jacob Hotel as Syd did BUT BUT BUT....when I was there in spring 2023 the elevator was out twice. I think I was on the 4th floor and the stairs above the 1st floor are steep, narrow traditional Amsterdam stairs, lol. The morning I was leaving the elevator was out. The housekeeper saw me about to head down the stairs with my suitcase, rushed over, grabbed it from me and zoomed down with it. I had to laugh because I could have managed it myself - I pack light and it was under 18 # - but that was very sweet of her.

Anyway, I'd recommend this hotel (very comfortable and an excellent location) but not if someone struggles with stairs.

I enjoyed my stay at the Motel One Amsterdam Waterlooplein a couple of years ago. Their hotels are clean, consistent, modern, with elevators and breakfast if you want it - and well-priced too.

I liked the location. Not an obviously hotel area but very close to the Rembrandthuis and really convenient for travel around the city either on foot or by public transport. A handy branch or Albert Heijn supermarket nearby too.

The College Hotel -- a Marriott property easy walking distance from Museumplein and on the tram line as well. More of a neighborhood feel.

I stayed there alone December 2022 (excellent service) and will arrive there next week with my two daughters.

Renovated this summer.

Elevator, mini fridge, A/C, friendly staff!

Recommend!

Hello Susand, I highly recommend "The Manor Amsterdam" located at Linnaeusstraat 89, 1093 EK, Amsterdam, Nederland Phone #

I stayed there a couple of years ago and I loved it. The Manor is a converted Hospital where my mother took me years ago to see the doctor.
I was also born 6 blocks away. You will love the breakfast, great restaurant and rent bicycles. The Tram is a few steps from the hotel. Enjoy. Oh! and the prices are reasonable.

We've stayed at the Amsterdam Marriott a couple of times and it is nice and convenient to to the big museums and parks in the Leidseplein and Vondelpark area including the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh, Moco, etc..
