Hoog Catharijne

A fantastically designed hotel with pod rooms, bar/restaurant and spaces to work. We enjoyed the styling, the food and the beers but the biggest negative was the lack of air-conditioning in the bedrooms. With Amsterdam seeing record temperatures we struggled to sleep given our room couldn't cool down due to a lack of windows leading to the outside

Really sweet and helpful staff, but this is an old building so no elevators and if you're on anything higher than the second floor you will be humping your bag up very narrow, steep and curved stairs. The room was cozy, what you would expect from an older European hotel. I would stay there again because it's very central to a lot of the historic area, which was convenient.
