Hotel Amsterdam Wiechmann occupies three joined canal houses on the Prinsengracht, between Leidseplein and the Anne Frank House. It is a 2-star hotel with period furniture, leaded windows and 24-hour reception. It is a good fit if you want to sleep in a historic building in the canal belt and do not mind stairs.
Location and getting around
Three places are about a 10-minute walk away: Leidseplein, the flower market and the Anne Frank House. Dam Square and the Rijksmuseum are about 15 minutes. It is about a 25-minute walk to Amsterdam Centraal station, so with large suitcases the tram or a taxi is worth it.
Rooms and facilities
The rooms mix antique furniture with a TV and free Wi-Fi. They overlook the canal or the street, and some have a small balcony or French doors.
- Lounge with exposed wooden beams.
- Breakfast room serving a continental breakfast.
- Reception open 24 hours.
Who it suits
- Travellers interested in the architecture of canal houses.
- Couples who want to stroll along the Prinsengracht at night and walk back.
- Anyone getting around between Leidseplein, the Anne Frank House and the Nine Streets.
Good to know
As this is a historic building, the rooms are reached by steep stairs, typical of the city. Bear that in mind if you carry heavy luggage or have reduced mobility. Arrival is from 15:00 to 23:00 and photo ID and a credit card are required. You must vacate the room before 11:00. Other options at 2-star hotels.
