HOTEL DE HALLEN
Superb design hotel located in the west, in an old tram shed in the heart of an exit district that has a lot of energy!
Amsterdam's western district has undergone a remarkable transformation, and Les Halles (De Hallen) is the perfect example. Formerly a streetcar shed, this vibrant place has become a cultural and culinary center not to be missed. The hotel in this complex blends historic elements with contemporary touches. The beds are extremely comfortable and the communal areas invite you to relax and socialize, especially around the reading tables. Beware of claustrophobia: some rooms open onto the windowless interior.

The location is peaceful and safe, but very well connected to the city centre by tram, with a lot of great places to eat nearby - not least the lively adjacent Foodhallen (food court). Also great options for breakfast/coffee, supermarkets, restaurants, bars, and a daily street market. The hotel restaurant itself (Remise47) also did very nice food for us.
We found all staff to be friendly and helpful at all times; the decor was nice (modern but comfortable) and the communal area was always quiet - like having a separate living room outside your room. The former tram tracks have been retained in the floor in places - it's a fun bit of history to the building.
The room itself was very well appointed, with a comfy bed and excellent bathroom (with a real bath, and a roomy shower). It was clear to us when we booked that there was no external window in the room - this didn't bother us at all. (We didn't come to Amsterdam to hide in our room all the time!)
The bathroom was separated by doors made of darkly frosted glass - we found this to be more than enough privacy. The only criticism of the room was that it got unpleasantly warm unless we ran the AC constantly - including through the night. This was in November - not a hot summer! The AC noise meant my wife needed earplugs to sleep, but I was fine with it.
