Hash, Marihuana and Hemp Museum and Erotic Museum are within walking distance. Landmarks nearby include Hermitage Amsterdam (0.5 km), Van Gogh Museum (2.5 km), and NEMO Science Museum (1 km).
“What stands out is undeniably its location-smack in the Red Light District and just a short walk from Amsterdam Centraal, though this also brings noise and some odors. Be prepared for steep stairs, shared bathrooms, and a very basic experience; still, if all you need is a place to sleep, this could work.”
