Absorb Amsterdam's culture even as you sleep by staying in the Lloyds Hotel which is part of the Cultural Embassy in the centre of town. They have reasonably priced 1 star right through to a more extravagant 5 stars and many of the rooms have furniture created by Dutch designers. The staff are incredibly friendly and there are often local bands playing at the Cultural Centre in the evenings. A really lovely base from which to explore this beautiful city.
