The Bank Hotel Amsterdam is a 3-star hotel in a former bank building on Haarlemmerstraat, a shopping street west of Amsterdam Centraal. It has rooms with extra-long beds and air conditioning. It is a good fit if you arrive by train and want to get around the north of the centre on foot.
Location and getting around
The address is Haarlemmerstraat 120. From here, Amsterdam Centraal is about a 10-minute walk, so you can arrive with your suitcase without taking other transport. Dam Square and the Anne Frank House are each about 15 minutes away on foot. The museums in the south are further: it is about a 40-minute walk to the Rijksmuseum, and there a tram or bike is worthwhile.
