On Beursstraat, behind the old Stock Exchange building, Hotel Ben Centre Amsterdam is a practical place to stay with a 24-hour reception and free wifi. It works best as a base for anyone arriving by train who wants everything at hand.
Location and getting around
You are about 5 minutes on foot from Dam Square and about 10 from Amsterdam Centraal station. The Anne Frank House, Rembrandtplein and the Flower Market are a quarter of an hour’s walk away. According to the hotel, the Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder museum, a church hidden in the attic of a 17th-century house, is 2 minutes away.
The museums in the south are further: the Rijksmuseum is about half an hour on foot and the Van Gogh Museum about 35 minutes. On those days, public transport from the station saves you the walk.
Rooms and facilities
- Free wifi throughout the building.
- Reception open 24 hours.
- Luggage storage, handy if your train or flight leaves late.
There is no breakfast at the hotel. Around Damrak and Nieuwendijk you will find cafes from early in the morning.
Who it suits
- Travellers arriving at Amsterdam Centraal who do not want to take transport to the hotel.
- Anyone on a short break who will spend the days on foot around the centre.
- Those who only need a place to sleep and prefer to have breakfast out.
You can see more options in the centre on the Amsterdam page.
