All menu items can be ordered in the bar.

Leisure: Sports & Relaxation

The bar includes three TVs and a large screen showing Fox Sports and Sports 1 channels. Sports shown include soccer, rugby, American Football, and motorsports.

Location: Surroundings

The hotel is a 5-minute walk from Central Train Station and Dam Square. Amsterdam Central Station offers a direct connection to Schiphol Airport in 15 minutes. 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.”
