Hoksbergen
Tucked into a canalside building on the Singel, Hotel Hoksbergen charms with its friendly staff, comfortable beds dressed in quality linen, canal-view rooms that catch a beautiful sunrise, two resident cats who wander freely, and a complimentary breakfast of croissants, fresh juice and coffee served in what guests single out as the nicest space in the building, all of which more than compensates for the famously steep, narrow stairs and the snug rooms that are very much part of the old Amsterdam canal-house character.
