Hotel Tamara Amsterdam occupies an old house on Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, behind the Royal Palace. It is a basic place to stay, with shared bathrooms and the steep stairs typical of buildings in the centre. It may suit you if you want to be next to Dam Square and do not mind those two things.
Location and getting around
Dam Square is about 5 minutes away on foot, and the Anne Frank House about 10. You reach Amsterdam Centraal station in a quarter of an hour on foot, as you do the Flower Market and Rembrandtplein. Leidseplein is about 20 minutes away.

Rooms and facilities
The rooms have a wardrobe and bed linen. The bathrooms are shared. There is free wifi throughout the building. Breakfast is not served, but around Dam Square and on Spuistraat you will find cafes open from early.
A 24-hour reception is not listed, nor are a TV or a safe in the rooms. If any of these matter to you, ask the property before booking.
