Crónicas de Amsterdam
Amsterdam was founded in 1275 as a small fishing village on the River Amstel. Over the centuries, the city grew into a major trading hub, with the Dutch Golden Age bringing grand architecture, art, and cultural achievements. The city's canals, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, showcase its rich history and architectural evolution. Amsterdam's cultural identity is shaped by its liberal attitude, rich history, and thriving arts scene. The city's compact size and bike-friendly infrastructure make it easy to explore on two wheels.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Princess Hostel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Requests for rooms on higher floors (4-5) are recommended due to the hotel's location on a busy street. These floors are likely to be quieter due to being further away from the street noise on Overtoom. If available, rooms on the west side (facing the west direction) might be quieter as they are not directly exposed to the morning sun and potential noise from the street.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the ground floor (1-3) are likely to be noisier due to the proximity to the Overtoom street and potential external noise.
Best views
Rooms on the west side (facing the west direction) might have a view of the surrounding buildings, but this is not guaranteed and depends on the specific room allocation. The hotel's location on a relatively narrow street might limit the visibility of the surrounding area.
