Expert review of Hotel Roemer
One of Amsterdam's classiest, small-scale "boutique" hotels.
Occupying part of a 19th-century terrace on a street populated by a number of more modest hotels, the Roemer doesn't look special from the outside. But trust me: a chic little set up awaits within.
Location:
On a quiet street, but just a couple of minutes' walk from the nightlife of the Leidseplein, and less than 10 minutes on foot to the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum.
Bedrooms:
Are stylish, with eye-catching lighting, good mod cons such as DVD players and coffee makers, and some have balconies overlooking the garden. But it's the granite bathrooms that stick in my memory - all are equipped with TVs, and some have romantic double-headed showers, and others whirlpool baths designed to be big enough for two.

Public areas:
Modern sculptures and paintings, chandeliers made up of anglepoise lamps, and a shaggy purple carpet set the tone in the lounge, which doubles as a bar and breakfast area. Out the back, there's a neat little courtyard garden, with wooden decking set up in good weather for breakfast, drinks and snacks.
Eating and drinking:
You may well want to opt for the "Roemer All Inclusive" rate, as opposed to a room-only arrangement. All-inclusive deals include not only the buffet breakfast, but also drinks from your minibar and spirits' decanters in your room, as well as beer, wine, soft and hot drinks, plus evening nibbles, in the lounge bar.
Leisure facilities:
Bikes are available to rent.
Service:
Helpful and personal - though you may find that staff can be off site at times, serving other guests down the street at sister hotel, the Vondel.
