Opposite the Rijksmuseum, Hotel Museumzicht Amsterdam occupies the upper floors of a 19th-century Art Nouveau town house. From the breakfast room you can see the museum. It is for those who put location first and accept a shared bathroom in most rooms.
Location and getting around
It is on Jan Luykenstraat. The Rijksmuseum is a couple of minutes on foot away, and the Van Gogh Museum, Leidseplein and the main entrance to Vondelpark are about 5. The flower market (Bloemenmarkt) is about 15 minutes on foot and Dam Square about 25. According to the hotel, there is a tram stop 100 m away with a direct connection to Amsterdam Centraal and the RAI, and bus 397 links the area with Schiphol Airport.
Rooms and facilities
The rooms keep their period tiles and furniture, with modern spring mattresses. Wi-Fi is free.
- Most rooms have a shared bathroom in the corridor.
- Continental breakfast in a lounge with views of the Rijksmuseum.
- Protected building, so the layout is the original one.
Who it suits
- A good fit if you come for the museums and want to be right on their doorstep.
- Ideal if you like old buildings with their original layout.
- A good choice if you travel solo or as a couple and a shared bathroom is not a problem.
Good to know
Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:30 and check-out is until 11:00. As the hotel is on the upper floors, there is no information to suggest a lift: ask if you have heavy luggage. Check when booking whether your room has its own bathroom. You will find more places like this in the category accommodation.
