Frommer's Review
The small and elegant Apollofirst, a family-owned hotel set amid the Amsterdam-school architecture of Apollolaan, advertises itself as the "best quarters in town in the town's best quarter." Their claim may be debatable, but the Venman family's justifiable pride in their intimate establishment is not. All accommodations are quiet, spacious, and grandly furnished. Bathrooms are fully tiled, and rooms at the hotel's rear overlook well-kept gardens and the summer terrace where guests have cocktails and snacks. The hotel's elegant Restaurant Chambertin is a French fin de siècle affair.
Facilities:
Bar; room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; all rooms smoke-free

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
