Oud-Huis Amsterdam

Frommer's Review

Philip and Caroline Traen have made a fine hotel out of this large canalside building, parts of which date back to the 1300s. Rooms are large and sumptuously furnished. The colors and decorative accents hearken back to the building's origins, based on meticulous research and restoration. Some of the bathrooms feature whirlpool tubs. The elegant guest rooms in the front overlook the canal; those in back overlook the garden and picturesque rooftops. The entrance hall, the small salon off the reception area, and the popular bar called The Meeting all have a pleasant atmosphere. In the rear there's a charming little courtyard with umbrella tables and a garden off to one side -- the setting for Sunday concerts in June. The famed Traen hospitality makes a stay here in the town center very special. Around half of the guest rooms have air-conditioning.
