Atlas
Van Eeghenstraat 64, Amsterdam, North Holland 1071 GK, The Netherlands
Why We Like It
We’re not sure we do, but Hotel Atlas does offer cheap rooms in a safe area ideal for culture trips, and staff are unfailingly friendly.
Fodor's Expert Review
This beautiful Art Nouveau mansion offers easy access to Vondelpark, which is right next door, and the museums.
You Should Know While the original features are stunning, the interior of the hotel is looking tired. Frankly, there are better options for the same budget in the area, including boutique options such as Hotel Vondel.

Room
Dark, dated, and sometimes musty-smelling guest rooms are in need of a refresh, but the fresh fruit basket and wine in every room is a nice touch.
Bathroom
The bathrooms are cramped and basic.
Lobby
The lobby is quite standard, but the hotel staff are unfailingly cheerful and exceptionally helpful. Plus, there’s a TV lounge to relax in.
Tip To save on a taxi, catch Bus 197 from Schiphol International Airport. Get off at the Willemsparkweg/Museumplein stop, which is only a short walk from the hotel.
Dining
A Continental breakfast is served in the breakfast room, but you’ll have to head outside for lunch or dinner.
Drinking
There’s no on-site bar, but plenty of options in the area.
