Located in the heart of Amsterdam's Museum Quarter, Piet Hein is a great base for shopping and sightseeing. The city's most glamorous shopping street, PC Hooftstraat, is just around the corner, and it's a short stroll to the Rijks, Van Gogh and Stedelijk Museums.

The facilities

Minimal, as befits a proper boutique hotel. A lovely breakfast spread is provided each morning - there are plenty of dining options in the surrounding streets, so ask staff for recommendations. The garden and terrace are the perfect spot to enjoy an evening drink, whilst corporate guests can make full use of a designated meeting room.

The rooms

Piet Hein's 80 guestrooms are divided into those that have been recently refurbished in a slick, contemporary style, and more traditional rooms that suit the budget-conscious traveller. All have flat screen televisions, private safes and air conditioning as standard.
