Hotel De Roode Leeuw occupies a monumental building on Damrak, about 50 metres from Dam Square and opposite the De Bijenkorf department store. It is a 4-star hotel without major facilities, focused on its location and on rooms with double glazing.
Location and getting around
You are literally next to Dam Square. It is about a 10-minute walk to Amsterdam Centraal and the Anne Frank House.
According to the hotel, public transport stops a few steps away, with a direct connection to Schiphol Airport. The Bloemenmarkt flower market is about 15 minutes away and Leidseplein about 20. The Rijksmuseum and Vondelpark are about 25 minutes on foot; for that area a tram may be worth it.
Rooms and facilities
The windows have soundproofed double glazing, which is practical on a street as central as Damrak. Each room has:
- adjustable climate control;
- free wifi and a cable connection for a laptop;
- a coffee machine, a kettle and a flat-screen TV.
Breakfast is buffet, continental or à la carte. A gym and a restaurant for dinner are not listed.
Who it suits
