Misc EatDrinkSleep

Top choice in Amsterdam


Steps from the Nieuwmarkt, the Misc has six charming rooms, all individually decorated, from the lanterns and bed canopy of the Wonders Room to the Design Room's bright and modern stylings. Choose between garden- and canal-view rooms; the latter have air-conditioning and cost more, but all rooms are light and bright. There's a filling breakfast included in the price.

Bonus: all in-room snacks and nonalcoholic beverages (from the minibar) and coffee (from your own Nespresso machine) are free. Alternatively, head to the homely lobby cocktail bar for expertly made tipples.
