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 2026

Before 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.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 4-5

🔊 Noise notes

Street noise from Overtoom can be a consideration due to the hotel's location. The hotel's 3-star rating suggests some soundproofing measures are in place, but higher floors are recommended for a quieter experience.

1. Check-in is available from 3 pm, and it's recommended to arrive during this time to avoid waiting. 2. The hotel is within walking distance to several local amenities, including the nearby Albert Cuyp Market. Consider exploring this area for local food and shopping options.
