The Guesthouse Amsterdam Uptown is on Korte Leidsedwarsstraat, about 200 metres from Leidseplein. It has a 24-hour reception, a terrace and rooms with a private bathroom. It works well if you want to go out around Leidseplein and have the major museums a few minutes away.
Location and getting around
Leidseplein and the Rijksmuseum are about 5 minutes away on foot. The Van Gogh Museum, the Vondelpark and the Bloemenmarkt flower market are about 10 minutes away. Rembrandtplein is about 15.
Dam Square and the Anne Frank House are around 20 minutes on foot. According to the guesthouse, a tram runs from Leidseplein to Amsterdam Centraal in about 10 minutes; on foot, allow about 35. If you are going to a trade fair at the RAI, it is 2.9 km away, and Amsterdam Zuid station is 2.8 km: for both, public transport or a bike makes sense.
