Hotel City Garden Amsterdam is on P.C. Hooftstraat, the fashion shopping street that runs alongside Vondelpark. It is a 3-star hotel with 24-hour reception and a buffet breakfast. It works well if you want the park and the museums a few minutes from the door.
Location and getting around
The main entrance to Vondelpark and the Van Gogh Museum are about a 5-minute walk away. The Rijksmuseum and Leidseplein are about 10 minutes on foot, and the flower market (Bloemenmarkt) is about 20.
To reach the historic centre, Dam Square is about a 30-minute walk. Amsterdam Centraal station is about 2.7 km as the crow flies, so if you arrive by train, public transport or a taxi is the better option.
Rooms and facilities
Depending on the room, the windows look onto the street or the park. All rooms have a private bathroom, a TV and a direct-dial telephone.
- Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel and a computer with internet in the lobby.
