The ED Amsterdam

With a location close to the shops and cafés of Overtoom, the nightlife of Leidseplein and the attractions of Museumplein, this three-star hotel probably doesn’t have to do much advertising to fill up its 70 rooms spread across three buildings overlooking the canal that separates the city centre from its other districts. Its rooms are simple, but modern and include the usual amenities like TV, phone, safe and private bathrooms. The hotel is part of the salubrious Eden Group, so simple things that most people take for granted like internet access cost extra and the reception staff were a bit snooty when we dropped by, but that’s fairly typical of many Amsterdam hotels.
