Located on Amsterdam’s most glamorous shopping street, Hotel Cornelisz is a good option for travellers who require a little style, yet are willing to sacrifice the health clubs, saunas and other facilities that come standard at the chain hotels to save some money. Rooms, especially singles, are on the small side, but include interesting interior décor, flat screen TVs, wireless internet access, safe, phone, writing desk and private bathrooms. If you book at least a month in advance you can stay at what is essentially a design hotel in a great neighbourhood for a very affordable price.
