Chronicles of Amsterdam
Amsterdam was founded in the 13th century as a small fishing village, but it quickly grew into a major trading centre due to its strategic location on the Amstel River. The city's Golden Age in the 17th century saw the construction of the iconic canal ring, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, Amsterdam is a thriving cultural hub, known for its liberal attitude, vibrant art scene, and rich history. The city's architecture reflects its evolution, from medieval buildings to modern structures like the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Aparthotel North, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the higher floors (above the 5th floor) for a quieter stay. These rooms are likely to be further away from the Klaprozenweg, which can be a busy street. The hotel's 3-star rating suggests that the rooms may not be soundproofed, so being higher up will help minimize street noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1-3) as they may be more prone to street noise from Klaprozenweg.
Best views
Rooms facing the north or east may offer views of the surrounding neighborhood, but it's unlikely that this hotel has any rooms with notable views given its location on a residential street.
Quietest floors

Insider tips
Request a room with a shower rather than a bath, as the hotel's 3-star rating suggests that the baths may be a bit outdated. If you're driving, be aware that there is limited parking available on the street, and you may need to use a nearby parking garage.
