Area description
The magnificently renovated Apollo Museum Hotel Amsterdam City Centre is located right where the fashionable P.C. Hooftstraat meets the atmospheric Stadhouderskade. It would be hard to find a more central spot to stay in Amsterdam! The hotel does not have an own parking lot, the nearest places to park are Byzantium and Museumsquare. For users of the public transport, use tram 2 or 5 to stop Hobbemastraat.

Great time in Amsterdam

The hotel staff was wonderful, check in went smoothly and the hotel staff was professional. The floor manager saw the excessive amount of luggage we had and immediately switched rooms so that we would be more comfortable. The room was spotless and comfortable with a corner view out to the Rijksmuseum to the right, the Hard Rock Cafe to the left and a busy canal across the street.

Entertainment tip: Short walk from hotel

The international restaurants are a short walk away, the museums are all within a short distance and if you're looking for some of Amsterdam's most infamous coffee shops. It's all there next to the Apollo Museum Hotel. Great stay and had a great time.

Apollo in Amsterdam

The staff was truly helpful. Although was small for to people, it was kept lean. It's proximity to he museums makes it convenient for art and history lovers, like us.

Location with friendly staffs

The rooms we were given were at the basement. And they were very very small. Small is even to big for the room. And in the BASEMENT. Are you kidding me. The location is the best part. In front of the museum square. The bathroom was awfully planned. Don't know if that is how our is done in the Netherlands. So no more comments on that. The front desk was pretty friendly. But waaaaaaaaay tooooooo pricey for the value they offer. Moreover from most of the time we didn't get the internet connection. It never went more than 2 bars. But as mentioned it was more or less stuck at 0 or 1. Hope u find it useful. Stayed September 2012

College Budget

Went here for four nights, got the rooms for like $80 a night. Small room one bedroom thats it nothing really. But perfect for college budget with a little extra to spend. A little noisy, but really was what I was looking for after coming from America, living in London for a couple months and a vacation.

Worth visiting

The hotel has a great location for museums and "local" area. Trams/busses to station nearby. Rooms are adequate by European standards, but large bed leaves little room for luggage, etc. Some rooms have a minibar under desk. Bathroom sink is in a narrow alcove that makes it difficult to brush hair with elbow sticking out, and shower is narrow. Overall, though, staff was very helpful and it is good value
