Amsterdam Wiechmann Hotel
Prinsengracht 328-332, Amsterdam, North Holland 1016 HX, The NetherlandsWhy We Like It
Its hard to beat Hotel Wiechmann’s location on pretty Prinsengracht, and while the hotel is dated, there’s heart here.
Fodor's Expert Review
A maze of hallways through three canalside buildings at this charming family-run hotel leads to guest rooms of wildly varying sizes. Delightful personal touches include a teapot collection, Delft-blue tiles, and fresh flowers everywhere.
You Should Know There is no elevator, and the stairs are narrow and steep. Considering the largely older clientele, this may be an issue for some.

Room
These are plainly decorated with quilted bedspreads, floral drapes, dark brown wood furniture. Some rooms have large leaded glass windows and lovely water views (in some rooms).
Bathroom
Small and simple, with white and maroon tiles, and basic amenities.
Lobby
As the hotel was once known as Boddy's Music Inn in the 1970s and hosted touring musicians including the Sex Pistols and Emmylou Harris, you'll find a gold record displayed in the lobby, along with a suit of armor, a grandfather clock, and plenty of antique tchotchkes.
Tip Help yourself to free hot drinks and candy.
Dining
There is no on-site restaurant, but a complimentary breakfast is served in a corner room with views onto the Prinsengracht canal.
Drinking
There is no in-house bar.
