Old Amsterdam

To protect themselves from the tides the founders of Amsterdam built a dam in the river Amstel. This dam gave the city its name: Amstel(re)dam, which later became Amsterdam. The Old Quarter is located at a unique spot just in between where the Amstel flowed in the Y and where the dam was built. Nowadays, the dam has become a huge place with on its West side the Royal Palace. An artificial island on which the central station has been built now blocks the connection with the river Y, just north of the Old Quarter. Before this, ships sailed up the river Amstel and loaded their goods directly at the back of the houses of the Warmoesstraat. By the way, Warmoes is an Old Dutch word for vegetables and the name of the street refers to the vegetable gardens of the first inhabitants located nearby.

- its location in the centre, nearby central station.

- the room was full of mosquitos! we had to get up at 4am to ask for an insect spray. the bathroom didnt even have a small shelf for wash items. the breakfast was grossly over-priced. there is no way this is a 4-star hotel. i would not stay again
